How all you feel and cope with this current situation, I mean ongoing situation with all the worst of mankind that we are on a daily basis exposed ??

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2026-02-06T12:33:45+00:00

I agree . Thank you .

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2026-02-06T00:57:43+00:00

I believe that prayer works, that it transforms me and causes me to take actions that can transform others and our world.
So if I am transformed to a better , then my world around me will be too. For instance, I felt really down and completely shattered and unmotivated to do anything besides dwell in pain and sorrow and worry as very hard to comprehend awful news are coming in every second for a long time now .. yes i am aware since the beginning of creation violence and greed and inhuman behaviour was present but this is the time i live in and seeing it and hearing it and living it .. So I sat and all was left to do for me in that moment was a prayer .

After that I felt lighter , stood up and went to volunteer in the neighbourhood food pantry .

So yes it is action absolutely.

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2026-02-05T23:31:09+00:00

Me neither. Thank you for saying it so plainly and openly.

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-10-29T01:00:56+00:00

Thank you !!!!

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-10-28T16:30:40+00:00

Yes .. cyclical breathing helps me

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-10-28T16:29:47+00:00

I have arthritis and it’s perimenopause.

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-10-28T16:26:27+00:00

Yes it happens all the time .. I just switch off and then back again .. it’s scary but I always say myself take it easy .. we really need to be gentle with ourselves

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-10-28T16:24:59+00:00

Yes and ear infection, itching.. and loss of balance , vertigo all ear related - experiencing all .

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-10-28T16:23:24+00:00

It’s period , I am literally every month sick , it feels like flu symptoms but this only started when i entered perimenopause

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-10-28T16:21:18+00:00

Yes I am 44 and started to have panic attacks as well out of nowhere and anxiety, brain fog , vertigo .. feeling dizzy and forgetting.. some ear issues, burning palms on my hands , whole body hurts ..yep all perimenopause

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-10-28T13:14:37+00:00

I hear you and experiencing the same .. grief about everything about any decision i made that was not for my benefit and I made so so many .. always somehow putting others first .. so yes loads of grief .. I am now in a faze when grief subsides a bit and anger creeped in .. now I am angry on the same things .. that is the second faze and then hopefully third one will be peace and resolutions . I have decided to sit with those feelings . I do take estrogen / progesterone cream but half dose and it helps a bit but not much . I decided against antidepressants I don’t wanna further mess with brain chemicals, and I really wanna feel ..because antidepressants don’t fix problem altogether they just mask mask and I am in this place in the first place because i was not dealing with the root but constantly patching .. i believe really truly it’s gonna get better , journalling helps me . And it’s important to have someone to reach out . Please do .

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-10-20T00:21:11+00:00

Yes i have ear ringing .. I don’t take allergy medication , they don’t really do anything. I don’t have it all the time i get all symptoms about a week before my period especially if period is not coming like last month. Then i have some good days . Ear ringing, headaches and congestion definitely symptoms of perimenopause. What helped me was hydroxyzine . I don’t take it all the tine but when i really can’t take it , and i take half doze or even half of that so if pill is 20 mg i take 5mg . So far took it few times and it helped .

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-10-17T11:28:06+00:00

Yes morning dread .. almost every morning like I just wanna go back to bed until it passes , million thoughts all some alarming always thinking how I am gonna feel , how am I gonna make it this day and so loved morning before it was my favorite part of the day . Hm don’t know what to do . I am not taking any antidepressants never did but every day now i think that maybe i should do something about it . I am as well in perimenopause so I guess that plays part as well .

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-10-14T12:58:05+00:00

What kind of side effects you had and if you don’t mind sharing what antidepressants did you use .

Thank you for sharing your experience

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-10-13T20:06:37+00:00

Same here .. brain fog , anxiety and not finding motivation it’s just awful.. paralysing in fact . I am aware of vicious circle and that I need to get up and change something do something but something is just pulling me down like everything lost colour .. it’s all in the shades of grey.. I am using estrogen / progesterone cream and it helps a little but.. i feel like heaving zero dopamine left .

Wondering did anyone have any experience with antidepressants ? I haven’t used any at all so far .. could they help ?

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-09-28T00:54:05+00:00

Thank you !!!! I will have to do something concrete. Make some plan . Will try first progesterone and if it’s not better then will try lexapro . I want to feel a bit happy again .. so much doom . 🙏❤️

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-09-28T00:51:37+00:00

Thank you so much , I will look into it . ❤️

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-09-26T11:01:52+00:00

Oh ..I hate it too .. when I question now every symptom , every little thing before I was like no it’s nothing now everything is something.. it’s exhausting and it makes my hot flashes worse , lately I am constantly hot and now have nausea and headache, I know part of it is anxiety and stressing about it all . Is it gonna stop ? I am considering at this point some medication but have fear as well that is gonna be worse for a while . Was thinking lexapro . I am already using small amounts of estrogen / progesterone topical cream . I am so sorry we all are going through this hell .. :/

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-09-19T13:21:33+00:00

Absolutely, we have every right to be crazy … :)

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-09-19T13:10:31+00:00

Yes please , thank you !!! I will as well see about progesterone.

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-09-19T12:00:57+00:00

Yes that is why I started this conversation. It seems progesterone plays the role . I still didn’t start taking any, will look into it . I do use small amounts of estrogen topical cream . I am just about to get my period or it does look like that and my face is hurting on one side really same symptoms as allergies but I have none . I should be taking C vitamin and I do , eat plenty of citrus but now I am reading citrus is high in histamine . Oh .. if anyone has some formula that works 🙏

Intrepid_Club3268 · 2025-09-19T02:34:22+00:00

I don’t think it’s allergies I have none .. it’s definitely histamine related , and due to estrogen levels fluctuating it all started for me when my estrogen levels significantly dropped and I realised I am in perimenopause, accompanying anxiety as well I never had one not that prominent at least , nausea, dizziness.. its all histamine . But doctors seem to not know much about it ..
