Entering menopause can be tough. Yes, not uncommon for emotions to be erratic, but I'm wondering if you might want to check with your doctor if it has been going on for awhile. HRT isn't for everyone, but sometimes taking an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety med can help with some of the symptoms.
You will survive this, and I've found it has gotten better now that I'm a couple years past menopause. __________________ Never look down on anybody, unless you are helping them up. |

pause - "pausis" greek root word for cessation, not in how we use it now on a remote control to stop and start things

Oh man I'm 26 & feel for you...why you ask? My mom had me at 38, so when I hit puberty she hit menopause talk about the house of horrors. She's 64 now and still gets occasional hot flashes (I hear that's normal) it was the house of I love you I hate you's for a while between the two of us, I get why my 20 year old brother moved out. I would suggest herbal cramplex, daily multi vitamins, WALKS, water & if you don't already have one a pet, all these things helped my mom, and trust me it was rough!!!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
