I have felt pretty horrible today. I get so moody. I am have been going through menopause for about 2 years now and am on an estrogen patch. It helps the hot flashes and night sweats but not the mood swings. I had my ovaries removed right after I had my daughter. She just turned 2 and in the terrible 2 stage. Some days I just don't want to take care of her. I love her and love seeing her smile and do fun things but some days I just don't want to do anything with her. I feel so guilty. I feel like a bad mom because I want to sleep or any little thing she does upsets me when she's just being curious or wants to go outside and I don't. No one really understands in my family. My and my husbands parents are in 70's and are not able to care for her for long. She sometimes spends the night with my sister but she has her own family. Sometimes I just want time alone and the baby knocks on the door because she wants to see me and have me around. This last for a couple of days and I'm fine again for couple of days and my swings again. My husband helps but doesn't understand either. Any advice from anyone.
