Peri-menopause? Feeling no emotions

[redmountain]

Does anyone relate?

i presume i am in peri-menopause as over the last few months i have changed from being a quiet an anxious person to having not much emotions.

in some ways it is good not to be anxious and impacted by things easily - but in otherwise it is strange and i dont feel
like myself.

Almost like i am anaesthetized. Someone I know died in a very sad circumstances 2 tears ago. Today in work i came across a similar incident where someone was badly injured in the same way and is lucky to be alive. I wanted to fee something, to be reassured i am human! But i felt blank.

i have never felt more stable amd capable but i feel like i am missing human feelings.

Flat mood was a key symptom to me that my HRT needed boosting.

Are you taking any other medication? I had to go on Propranolol (blood pressure tablets) and this is exactly how they made me feel?

I am not taking other medication.

i am not depressed either. For my whole life i have had a tendency to depression and anxiety but now i am actually fine so perhaps I should be grateful but it doesn't feel natural.

i kind of imagine how this is how my husband has always felt. He just gets on with things, doesn’t worry about the future, doesn’t let things get to him.

i just feel ‘cold’. Like i passed a memorial for a young child who died and whenever i went there in the past i felt so sad for the girl and her family. Now i just know theoretically it is sad but i don’t have the emotions to go with the thought.

Me too… what is this about? Ever since being on the mirena coil and going through some trauma.
