Hi - Anyone out there dealing with hormone fluctuations of mid-life and how they impact our other issues? I have GAD and PTSD (and???)

My GYN is trying to work with me and some things have helped - - - estrogen and progesterone, for example.

It's hard to tease apart what biochemical is causing what to happen in my body.

I'm coming up on the year anniversary of my husband's disclosure regarding
Possible trigger:
It's been rough. I wonder if this is causing my emotional state or hormones or both?

I truly wore myself out with supporting him (and handling an out-ot-state move at the time) while he was very mentally ill. He's doing better now. I don't get much support from him, though. That's how it always had been in our marriage. He's selfish. I feel so alone. I don't want to burden my family, and I haven't re-established friendships yet as I lived in another state for almost 20 years. I am looking to try to find ways to meet other people and women friends, but it's hard when I feel like crap.
