I'm so sick of doctors saying physical activity is what you should do. Don't they realise that the depression associated with this is what stops physical activity. Having zero motivation to leave the house. Wanting it, but not being able to do it. So saying just go out and exercise is redundant.
I know that sucks to hear, and there are days I can't even get up.. I have alot of anxiety that makes it hard to get up , but I noticed when I force myself to get up and just walk..after like 20 min I do start feeling my mood get better...bless you ❤
I have a severe depression and anxiety which affected my entire life and I have no energy to exercise at all I am exhausted all the time I tried cognitive behavioral therapy for 2 yrs but it didn’t work, just now I realized why! So I’ll go back to the anti depressant please God help me and help everybody who’s struggling out there!
I'm here because I'm seemingly wide awake.. again. And i realized my period is late.. and has likely been late for some months. My sleep has been messed up for probably well over a year now, but it's not always because of night sweats, I just simply can't sleep, no matter what I try.. and I've probably tried it all. My pmt is worse, longer in duration - I'm more miserable than happy, more hormonal than "normal" and I've had a lot of feeling like it's better if I'm just not here anymore. I've always struggled with my memory, remembering and recalling, but this is way, way worse. I feel like an idiot. Repeatedly asking the same stuff or just asking people to repeat themselves.. and "did I just say that?" has become my no1 Q! I even considered dementia or maybe I've had a mini stroke and it's affected my brain.. I can't concentrate, I'm scattered, I'm putting the chopping board on the hob and the pan on the side (to chop on!), left my remote in the fridge.. things I've cooked every week for years I now can't remember the timings of, just odd, odd things. I've bought it up before, of course my gp blames stress or depression. Always with the "depression".
I definitely understand. I told my therapist that I thought I'd had a nervous breakdown and my family was afraid to tell me. She recommended looking up symptoms of perimenopause and that was life changing!! I had all symptoms with the exception of a couple! It felt good to know that I wasn't losing it! Ashwaganda has been great for me and helps me sleep VERY good!! I still have many symptoms but I'm trying to learn as much as I can to overcome the obstacles. Praying things are better for you.
I’m suffering and have reached an end. I just can’t take much more of doctors/therapists not understanding what I’ve been going through. Maybe I’m done. But please please hear this as it’s very real!
I dont know you, but reading the Psalms in the Bible helps me to know even men can weep and be weary over life situations. God will help you. Just ask.
It can help to get on some progesterone in the beginning. 100-300 mg of Prometrium at bedtime. It will at least reduce anxiety and improve your sleeping. Those seem to be things that women struggle with as the progesterone drops. The Estrogen drops later on... The Estrogen skin patches (Climara; Estradot, etc) and vaginal estrogen tablets such as Vagifem can be helpful.
I hope you are doing ok. I took me 6 months of going to multiple doctors and researching so much to finally decide on a doctor that worked for me. There is SOOOOO much misinformation and bias out there to wade through and doctors are not immune. It makes me incrediably angry that I have lose at least 6 months of career and life productivity to doctors not listening and believing. Sadly, this has done nothing but reinforce my viewpoint that I will only see female doctors whenever possible. Especially gynecologists! I will even go so far at this point to say I will only see female gynecologists over the age of 45 because I really don't think anyone can truly understand what it is like to have your mind and body completely betray you until you have experienced it.
Omg I’m passing through a very nasty peri menopause! Believe or not I’m in treatment with antidepressants but still … Crying a lot in unusual situations. Low self steam. Sense of guilt . Loss of appetite. I wasn’t feeling like this until the hormone changing. By nature I’m very sensitive and now it’s driving me nuts . I think I need more exercises.
Im 39 and in perimenopause. It's driving me crazy!!! To the point of feeling suicidal at times. I never had pms in my life and now I have it for 2 weeks at a times. I also have insomnia, night sweats, anxiety, huge blood clots with my period and irregular periods. The gyno said I am still too young for HRT since Im still having a cycle. I hate synthetics but Im getting back on the combination birth control pill to help regulate symptoms. Just know, there is hope and you are not crazy!
My symtomes started with 42 and my expierenced doctor said that it‘s not the age nor the blood test for him the reason to give or give not HRT but the symtomes are. Since on HRT most symtomes are completley gone. Just fatigue and mood swings here and there.
I live in Toronto, Canada. The MDs in Canada will not prescribe HRT such as Progesterone for Perimenopause or Estrogen for Menopause. Women are just given Anti-depressants. When people have low Thyroid or need Insulin, they are not given antidepressants. This is a sad state of affairs.
Plus ptsd fibromyalgia pain cfs insomnia anxiety incontinence depression traumatic experiences since early childhood, hypothyroidism, ibs, joint pains,dizziness, sinusitis, loneliness, hiatus hernia digestive disorders, migraines etc etc yet i still hang on 😢
I've experienced burning in my legs and back headache loneliness dizziness sleepless nights low appreciate low sex drive want to be alone i feel sometimes like a train run over me
I'm so depressed because my menopause is so bad. I love my partner but because everything is so overwhelming I get upset so easily. He is trying but I don't know if that keeps him out later and later each night. I do know that he loves me but he tells me that I am unbearable while I am having my episodes. He has installed a ceiling fan but I'm still feeling overwhelmed. He hugs and kisses alot more. I need any suggestions to get through this. Back story I lost my father last year to advanced cancer and my mom is sick with Covid. Please help. Prayers are needed 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Will keep you in daily prayer 🙏 I haven't experienced this yet personally but my Aunt went through it quite bad to the point she felt suicidal and said she felt like she was loosing her mind. I think the HRT was what helped her. I'm sorry for your loss and will keep your mum in prayer also.
Oh dear sorry for your loss … I hear you … I know the feeling sooooo well I’m in the same situation. I don’t know what else to do ! I’ll pray for you and all women passing through this. Blessings ♥️
This was so helpful. I have recognized the symptoms and as much as I hate it. I am grateful that these educational clips help me understand myself more. The symptom I hate most, the weight gain and mood swings. The worst ever. Time to get on the health wagon.
Because these things are just blaming women for their symptoms and are marginally helpful. They are talking about solutions based on actual evidence, not diet fads. There is ZERO evidence that cutting out sugar has any affect. Alcohol and caffeine do have vasomotor affects and cutting them is pretty much always a good idea so not really relevant. Adding the stress of a restrictive diet and cutting out things that they enjoy is not going to improve mood in anyone. Having to cut out things they enjoy because of this crap situation isn't going to make anyone feel better.
@@FortheBudgies eating for your health is part of an actual solution and just because you can’t or won’t cut out sugar doesn’t negate it’s effectiveness. An it does make people feel better to cut out the things I mentioned.
@@rebekah518 your suggestion assumes women are eating enough sugar to cause problems. Yes, cutting sugar would make literally EVERYONE feel better if they were regularly consuming large amounts of highly processed foods full of sugar. Even then evidence would support that cutting out processed foods is what helped, more than cutting sugar. Women who are already eating healthy diets with appropriate sugar intake are likely to just feel worse if they add more dietary restrictions to their lives. Restrictive diets are incredibly stressful to maintain. Also, sugar helps increase dopamine, which helps with attention and focus, so eating something like fruit or a small amount of chocolate could actually be a mood booster. Every time someone "helpfully" suggests to just adopt a highly restrictive diet as a solution to an already overwhelming problem they are ignoring the fact that dietary changes are incredibly difficult and stressful and very very very few people maintain them. This leads to "failure" and self blame that they will just have to continue feeling like crap because they could just cut out X food when the real treatment is medication. This leads to women denying life changing medications because of a very vocal group of people who say that is failure to take medication instead of sticking to something the toxic diet culture is pushing with zero evidence behind their claims. If cutting sugar, gluten, and dairy cured as many things as diet culture claims there wouldn't be disease anymore! No dietician would recommend completely cutting out sugar. Restrictive diets are not healthy for the mind, body or soul. They are disordered eating, plain and simple.
Actually most people do consume high amounts of sugar and processed foods hence the high rate of diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, etc. I apologize that I didn’t specifically say refined sugar. I never touted to be a dietician. It’s too bad that this subject has obviously struck a cord with you. I no longer wish to engage your obvious attempt to “stir the pot” so to speak. Have a lovely life.
@@rcquinones5094 this is not an obvious attempt to stir the pot but an attempt to bring awareness to the fact that restrictive diets are not the pangea to cure all health issues.
I don’t have periods or night sweats anymore but I do find I am not really interested in talking or getting together with friends. I’m not sad per say just not motivated to socialize. Does this go away eventually?😊
I'm 46.....Please which Doctor should we go do test for perimenopause?? Is it for primary Doctor??

You can watch menopause Barbie on UA-cam...a retired ob. And she also consults. Her information is amazing
I am 38 in one month and having massive wild mood swings, missed period without pregnancy, migraines and dizzy spells with brain fog. There are also moments of what I call “joyless”. I have also had massive night sweats so bad I wake up shivvering and have to change my clothing and this really annoying prickly itchy feeling all over my body. Vaginal dryness and sexual issues as in, no desire, no feeling of pleasure, hair loss and cant decide if I am hot or cold daly. There is also this weird migraine aura motor aphasia going on. I only had my first child 21m ago so, I cant tell you how blessed I am that I at least had 1 even though the thought pangs that he may be really lonely sometimes.
I had my only child when I was 37 and I was upset he maybe lonely -but he was and is fine. When I was 38 I started experiencing terrible depression, hair loss and skin problems.. I tried to explain to a doctor that something hormonal was happening-as I was getting 3 weeks of misery and only felt normal when I had a period..I was dismissed of course with antidepressants- I am now 57 and I have been through years of hell ..I am now on HRT for last 2 months things and slowly getting better. I pray you get the right help and don't suffer for years like I did. God bless x
I@luais-sheri5659 Did it take take 2 months for the Hrt to take affect I'm really suffering I am on Hrt early days yet haven't seen any improvement when I read comments like yours it give me hope .
I haven't wanted to admit that I'm that age, but lately I feel like I'm going through puberty again. I'm probably the subject of several well-deserved Midol cracks.
I literally just went to my OBGYN this morning to have my hormones checked. I’m 43 and cry ALL OF THE TIME! I’ve been seeing a psychiatrist when the whole time it never occurred to me that my hormones may be causing it. I’m now starting HRT. Hoping it works.
I’m a bloke watching this possibly going through the pre-menopause, my partner says she’s no idea what’s wrong with her, she’s 49 soon how do I tell her to go for a blood test, she has a GP appointment in 2 weeks, Wednesday she told me I may not be the right guy for her, then Saturday she says baby hang on in there I love you so much, she’s told me she hates college since her mood swings I’m getting to know a different person she was nothing at all like she is now, she says it’s not just me it’s everything, her family, college, myself she says she’s not even replying to people and that’s not like me

I am from Toronto 🇨🇦, any menopause doctors available? Please let me know. Doctors are not educated in this area but are easy to prescribe anti depressants wth!!!! 😮
Seek help? All they want to do is give prescription meds. I want natural herbs. I mean what did they use back in the day before all of these medications??? Im already bipolar, manic depressant and borderline. No meds have ever helped. Exercise doesn’t help. Neither does meditation. Anxiety and insomnia are hell. No meds prescribed help me. Im doomed.

I agree. I sometimes want to smack them.
Yes. Go and walk. ..only thing that they can say😣

That is what they always tell up but they dont know our feelings ..they should have been in our body.

I'm perimenopausal and everyone and everything gets on my nerves about 80 percent of the time. I am clear its hormonal related.
You summed it all up in one sentence! With that clarity…how do you manage (to not go full out crazy?)
I am crazy and angry and snap. I need a solution. Does the depo shot help?
Yes!!! This, exactly.
