It's a god send 🙏 I've felt like I'm alone and noone understands, I made myself go out for a walk this morning. Felt better as I wake up with a dread depression lately due to perimenopause I think. I've Learnt t a trick tho .. smiling for 2 minutes even though it s often the last thing i want to do. Lol it lifts me out of it as it tricks your brain into thinking your in a good mood. Really does alter my day. Try it it might help you xx

Ohhh yes I will give that ago lol thank you xxx

Your not alone everyone is here for you ❤️

Hi I’m new on here and it’s so helpful to c I’m not the only one going through this. I was out going had loads of energy and Excited out life. In the past year I have changed so much. I’m just not me anymore . I just want to shut myself away from everyone. I’ve been on HRT for about 4 months and feel no change. Has anybody got any suggestions please .

Hi! Hormones eh!!! What a rollercoaster!! Confidence can really take a battering!
Maybe your hrt might need tweaking - I’ve just had mine adjusted and I’m feeling much more in working order after 5days!
Good luck xx

I feel the exact same ! I’m going ask to change hrt see if it helps x

Just joined, seems a nice group. One thing I have noticed is how alone I feel and isolated x

I think menopause really makes you feel isolated and alone even when people are around you as no one understands. I feel like I'm a real burden to my family lately as I always feel so anxious and tearful x

this is an amazing forum all ways someone to message .we all need someone to message.family are ok .but I find it easy taking to a stranger family don't always get it .you can message me anytime

Hello just discovered this great app I’m 52 and had breast cancer 3 years ago so can’t take any hrt, the dr has put me on sertraline to help with the low moods but I’m struggling does anyone have any advice please? X

Hi Jean, my sister is 52 and was about the same age as you when she had breastfeeding cancer, she's just gone on antidepressants for low mood as her cervical cancer at 40 pushed her through menopause and she had been ok but had to come off hrt due to the BC, there are several good herbal things out there but you will have to check will gp , I will speak to my sister for you tho as I know she's done lots of research over the years about what you can and can't take . I will see what i can find out for you xx

Hi Amanda thank you so much because my cancer was estrogen fed I really don’t know what to take my joint pain is awful as I have injections to stop my body producing estrogen, thank you x

Jean, Alot of things also contain plant oestrogens which you also need to avoid, the thing she did look into was turmeric for joint pain! That's supposed to be very good. X

That’s great thank you I’ll look into it xx

I've only just joined the group. It's so reassuring to know there's other people out there feeling the same. I used to be so sociable and now stay at home a lot, I get so anxious going out. Went out with a friend couple of weeks ago and had what I can only think of was a panic attack. It was awful... I ran to toilets initially. I forced myself back to my table and explained to my friend who tried to calm me down. Never felt like that in my life before. X

oh bless you sweet !! 🥺 I get like that when I go out ! Always stuck in nowadays xx

Glad it's not just me then. X

I was the same .I wanted to go out But when I was out I wanted to get home if you have never had a panic attack is so scary.my meds seemed to kick in last couple of weeks felt a lot better.on meds for anxiety and depression and meds for menopause not everyone thinks medication is not the answer. Personally I do because it has helped everyone is different. There own story to tell and different systems xxxx

I can so relate to that.. I want to go out but when out just want to go home. I haven't gone down the route of medication yet but think I need to do something

I hope you get things sorted out

thanks and you too x
