I have isolated myself and hate leaving the house, for the most part....
Menopause is a killer....

Hi sophiesmom,
I'm good with the hormones as far as I know, a few years ago I had them checked and I did do a little hrt. It is that time of the month and my problems are just exacerbated because of it. I was in pretty deep about 2 weeks ago before my cycle. SO...just compounds everything.
I moved out of state also about 8 years ago. I had high hopes that I would do much better than this. It is just so much easier sometimes to keep to yourself. You rationalize, if I can't be the most interesting and happy person in the room, who wants to get to know you anyway? Then, low and behold~nobody knows you. You're a mystery. Labeled in some way and people grow leery of trying to crack that shell to find out who you are. You start to believe your own insecurities and act upon them becoming that very person, you don't want to be. It's a never ending and vicious cycle. I do hope that we can all help each other here. It is wonderful to know, I am not alone.
