Everything I'm wearing feels gross and my hair is somehow both greasy and dry as straw
Everything I've picked up has immediately broken or fallen.
I feel like a giant mess, my knees are creaky and I felt 150 years old when I had to kneel down to do my shoelace earlier.
I don't need solutions as I am already doing strength training, collagen etc etc blah blah

Just wanted solidarity!!!

Menopace supplements. They do one with omega too. Yoga. Hydration. It will pass.

It’s a relief how everything seems to settle down to a new normal once the hormonal merry-go-round finally grinds to a halt. OK, it’s a dry, stiff, achey, insomniac normal, but you get used to it.

Oh hang on a sec. Nope, today’s a greasy day. Oh, I slept well last night, but I’ve sprouted a zit. Yesterday I was on fire; I booked our holiday, negotiated a new insurance package, and built an Ikea wardrobe. Today I dropped a teapot and forgot…what was it?

Another day of masses of hair falling out, wondering if I'll be bald any time soon. Solidarity.

I feel exactly the same today so solidarity!!!

it’s the worst.
My hair is also like straw. Everything is dry and itchy. Any get up and go I had has gone, and doesn’t seem to be coming back.

I also have strange irrational anxiety that is irritating and debilitating.

And breathe….
