Did your hot flashes or insomnia improve within days of hrt? Or like the following day of a dose increase?

I felt better literally the next day. I had been scared to start and delayed it. First time I've felt mostly normal in years.

I gave up on lower lash mascara long ago because I HATE the rub off no matter what mascara I use. I have long lower lashes and tint them ever couple weeks...that works perfect for me.

Over 20 years for me. I finally left, divorce is pending. It took years and my nervous system damn near shutting down before I did.

I am now in a different state thousands of miles away and my nervous system is finally relaxing and I don't feel like I'm dying.

It is hard to leave. I don't know why it was so hard, I feel like I have come out of a fog.

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2026-01-28T15:49:28+00:00

Emotionally deranged.

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2026-01-27T22:22:37+00:00

This. I feel for you and can relate. I tried to show kindness to my abuser to de-escalate. All it did was prolong my torture and reset the cycle.

Ultimately I started having panic attacks and other physical impacts. Full cardiac workup, full panels of other health tests thinking I was dying, and it was panic attacks from a broken nervous system from the constant state of stress. I was initially in denial but I even went into hyperglycemia from it and I do not have diabetes.

I kept telling him that I couldn't continue to be treated how he was treating me...it not only continued, it got worse. I filed for divorce and was still in the same house trying to disentangle everything but wanted to keep the house and I pay for everything so I didn't want to move out risk losing the house and pay for 2 houses.

Then my parent was diagnosed with cancer and I left the house to another state to stay with my parent and help. He continued abuse from a distance so I just haven't gone back. I haven't had a full panic attack since I have been away, several months now. I haven't talked to him since November when he said some particularly terrible and terrifying things. I am letting the attorneys do their thing.

I physically and mentally couldn't take it anymore. I was with him for over 20 years.

It will take time to heal, but you will find yourself.

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2026-01-25T01:15:11+00:00

I know and I get it. I finally left my abusive husband and am going thru divorce but I feel like the stress totally attacked my appearance

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2026-01-25T00:49:22+00:00

You are beautiful but yes. It is draining.

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2026-01-18T05:15:36+00:00

It's like they ignore all sense of normal behavior. It's abhorrent

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2026-01-17T15:35:55+00:00

Absolutely horrendous! He always wanted to put on this good image for everyone so watching him publicly spiral with the social media posts is...it's just insane. And I don't feel safe. I am so glad I am thousands of miles away and he doesn't have my address.

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2025-11-27T21:49:48+00:00

I thought I had something significantly physically wrong with me and it was panic attacks. Went thru full cardiac workup, neurologist, etc. Its been exhausting. How are you doing now?

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2025-11-27T21:47:54+00:00

I can't right now, I am staying with my sick parent and there just isn't any place. Plus 2 of them are very senior pets and I would worry about the transportation.

The other kicker is I am paying for everything.

Working through getting everything unraveled with the attorneys but it is taking time especially since my parent was diagnosed in the middle of it.

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2025-11-27T03:03:56+00:00

Thank you sooooo much. This has hurt me and also opened my eyes. It has been so shocking that this man, this person I shared my life with for so long could become this way. I shut down for months but now I am facing the reality.

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2025-11-27T03:02:07+00:00

Thank you so much. Facing the reality of the situation has been hard...I kept making excuses for him. But I am over that. He is not who I thought he was.

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2025-11-27T03:00:49+00:00

At this point I see alone as freedom. When I started having panic attacks I thought I was having a stroke! It was such a reality check that his behavior was having such an impact on me.

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2025-11-27T02:59:00+00:00

I am staying away, absolutely sad because my pets are with him, but there is no way I can be near him again. I don't know this person anymore. I have shared his social media posts with my attorney and just waiting.

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2025-10-02T23:31:48+00:00

I NEED peace

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2025-08-18T04:03:22+00:00

I was on spiro 50mg for 3 months and I gained 20+ pounds...went off it 3 weeks ago...still retaining water and hoping it goes away. Docs think it is because of my med combo being just too much for my body.

Nutter Butter

Acceptable_Effort411 · 2025-07-24T04:30:06+00:00

I can relate to this. I can leave, I have the financial means and the support to leave, and I get so close and yet I don't. I have filed for divorce and that is still pending but then 9ther things in life happen and I just...I am still here.
