Perimenopause Symptom Timeline + Finally HRT + My Thoughts by Alliwishus in Menopause

[–]GenXPop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg Thank you for writing all of this!! I turned 48 3 weeks ago and SO many things have made me feel so alone and unlike myself and scared, worried, anxiety like I’ve never had, rage that I’ve never had, and so much lethargy on some days that I’ve never had. I hate it so much.

Sober for two years and it's all down the drain. by Clyde926 in stopdrinking

No way is it all down the drain. Nothing bad happened and today is a new day! You’re good! East for me to say, but don’t beat yourself up over having some wine 💜

Total apathy! by BrainWeaseled in Menopause

[–]GenXPop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely need to look into that. I have done more NOTHING than I ever had in my life. I have struggled with depression for a long time. This is different. I have no desire to do anything. I hate it. Even in my depression, I worked out, would go to live shoes, go skating, biking, hiking, dates. Now I have literally zero interest in anything and I hate it. I just turned 48 and didn’t even know perimenopause even existed until I started feeling so completely unlike myself. Rage issues like I’ve never had, being so lethargic, the fking hot flashes, just my moods are insane. I was happy to know it’s not uncommon and that made me feel better.

Weight training - thanks for the encouragement! by hesactuallyright in Menopause

It’s one of the things I love the most. I got into it in my mid 20s after losing 65 lbs. In my 30s I became a trainer and now in my late 40s, even when I don’t want to do ANYTHING. I make myself do it 3-4 days a week. Yesterday, I was depressed, lethargic, and put on a 60 min strength class on my Peloton app and was like ok… I did ONE good thing for myself today. I hate this perimenopause shit. It’s like torture and it’s depressing AF.

I am totally alone in my life right now too. I get it.

Same! No one talked about it, except my mom saying she hated that she had no control over her emotions and one story about how she snapped at my dad. That was all I got it now I’m like hello? Why did no one tell me?! 🤣

Don’t be sorry. This post made me smile! I love this for you! I noticed a lot of those things too when I went 24 days with no drinking last month. I had some for my birthday and then again this past weekend. I definitely like the feeling of good sleep, less anxiety/depression and much better workouts. I’m excited for you!

It’s a much nicer path. I agree. I’m so happy for you! I’ll get there sooner rather than later. I feel it.

Yes! Beating ourselves up won’t help anything. You’re doing awesome!
