I'm 49, haven't had a period for 3 years and prior to that I had one a year for about 3 years.
At the moment i feel really emotional all the time to the point where I am constantly tearful and feel stressed and upset about stuff that wouldn't have bothered me in the past. I also seem to be getting quick to anger and then I wonder why I was so angry afterwards.
I do have a busy life and work full time as well as juggling a house and two teenagers and my DH has depression issues from time to time.
I feel tired and stressed a lot, i'm getting headaches not sleeping well, overeating and really can't be bothered doing things but then get annoyed that things aren't done and life is flashing by. For example it's our holidays in 3 weeks, we have time booked off and have had for months but still don't have anything booked because I can't make a decision and no-one else is either......then i get upset that nothing is booked and then feel unloved and uncared for - it doesn't really make any sense and I hate feeling like this. :(
I can't really talk it about it with my DH as I feel that once I do I'll get so upset that we'll end up splitting up - which isn't really rational either. :(
Is this normal post menopausal stuff that should pass or do I maybe have depression?
