Menopause, depression and unhappy marriage. Trying to take care of all at once, but feeling like I am doing the moon walk. Two steps forward, one backwards. I am a giver and I am getting tired of giving, I need something back. Very cold and lonely tonite...

o ya betcha.
I have perimenopause, depression, anxiety, asthma. Luckily marriage and work are supportive. It does all take a lot of bytespace. I feel like 10-20% of my head is focussed on medical management along with the bit I need to focus the other 80%. Can you call a friend and ask her to take you to coffee? She can drive and buy....sometimes that helps me. Another thing for me is going to a restaurant, even if alone, and sitting and letting them serve me. I can be as picky as I like, and they'll still try to give me what I want.

Very happy to be reading your reply. Finding someone out there that understands what you are going through is very comforting. I saw my doctor today and he highly recommends talk therapy ASAP. I will follow up after come back from vacation. My day went better today, I did lots of driving, this makes me feel in control. I stopped at a nursery and spent 30 min. walking around the beautiful plants and flowers. I have been very quiet today, just contemplating the storm around me, but with my feet on the ground. Thanks for the idea of asking a friend out. I hope you will have a great day tomorrow. Someone on the other side of the map is sending XXOO.

Hello there, depression, peri-menopause and loneliness (no relationship, no friends, caring for an elderly parent) are my perfect storm. Hope you both do OK today, I'm a bit tearful and disappointed today.
