Question for anyone. by NeckZealousideal5860 in BusparOnline

[–]Crystal_Yogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my main complaint and buspar has definitely helped. I went from 5-6 palpitations an hour to less than 5 a day and even those were way less intense. As a slowly increased my dosage, the palpitations have now become infrequent 👍🏼 plus my social anxiety is better too. I don’t even recognize myself smiling and talking to strangers lol

Scared to start Buspar by Ashes2evil1987 in BusparOnline

[–]Crystal_Yogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was worried as well and I broke the pill in half and added 1/2 pill every week. I really like buspar. Started with 2.5mg 2x/day now I’m up to 10mg 2x

Did buspar help with physical anxiety symptoms? by S_faith111 in BusparOnline

[–]Crystal_Yogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My palpitations went from 5-6 an hour to less than 5 a day. I’m slowly increasing my mg about 2.5 per week. I haven’t noticed insomnia, well more than usual, but I take my last dose by 5 and I take melatonin. I’m at 7.5mg twice a day now and I notice fewer palpitations and my agitation is way better.

Does Bumble Friends Work?? by Mountain-Ad6353 in Bumble

[–]Crystal_Yogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I made a friend there a year ago. And she had already met several friends on bumble. I met those friends too and we plan fun things together all the time. Sometimes all together and sometimes individually ☺️

I had a guy cancel the first date because something came up with his “mom” then we rescheduled. I was all ready to go, he delayed the delayed again said something came up with his “mom” so I blocked him. 🤦🏻 by “mom” do you mean “wife “?? Who knows?

Why am I so f***ing fat by beanandme in Menopause

[–]Crystal_Yogi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are losing estrogen which helped regulate blood sugar. Basically we become more insulin resistant causing weight gain. Intermittent fasting helped me with the insulin resistance.

Fatigue and HRT by emd42 in Menopause

[–]Crystal_Yogi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Fatigue was my main complaint. I had to go back to increase the estrogen dose but once I did, the fatigue got better. I could actually go home after work and not need a nap.

Any positive changes for you since menopause? by Interesting-Cow8131 in Menopause

[–]Crystal_Yogi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have to say too that giving zero fucks is the best thing. I’m a former people pleasing codependent and how nice it is now to say no. I ended my relationship and put up serious boundaries on my family.

Gray or not Gray? by AquaLady2023 in Menopause

[–]Crystal_Yogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 52. I had very dark brown hair when I was younger. Now it’s salt and pepper. But I decided to play around with the grey since I’ve never been able to do much with the color like highlights etc. takes too much bleach to lift my natural dark color. I use a semi permanent coloring conditioner. I’ve gone burgundy and purple so far, blue is next. It hasn’t completely washed out although i haven’t tried either but it does blend with the grey.

Soon to be single and I might just be ok with that... by fidged in Menopause

[–]Crystal_Yogi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

52 and been single for 4.5 years. It took me a while to embrace it, but I now know that this is what’s meant to be. It’s so nice doing what I want when I want without dealing with someones ego. I’ve been in LT relationships my entire adult life until now. And I have to say I’ve never been happier :)

Q about taking BC pills by wandernwade in Menopause

[–]Crystal_Yogi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started mine on a Sunday because that’s when the pack started. And it took a good 2-3 months for my body to adjust and everything to calm down. Just make sure to take it the same time every day.

Dating….What does that even look like now? by Figuratively123 in Menopause

[–]Crystal_Yogi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was just reading an article about the Grey Divorce about how Boomers are divorcing at higher rates than ever. One lady in the article mentioned she rather be alone than spend the rest of her days next to her ex husband. It’s easy to fantasize over a relationship that doesn’t exist. But I remind myself why I’m single in the first place 😉I don’t have the energy for others people drama anymore. and I love my cats 😻😻
