To be fed up of my life being dictated by stupid hormones!

That’s it really. Approaching 50 and in the perimenopause/ menopause stage of my life. It’s affected how I see myself, my family, my friends, my work. My life!! I keep trying to find ways to lift myself but I feel weighed down by lack of motivation and confidence. I’m seriously cranky and moody and can spend hours staring at the clock, feeling low and unproductive.

I’m on HRT, antidepressants didn’t work and I’m trying to get fit. I just feel I’ve gone from feeling ok in myself to feeling I just need to hide away from everyone and everything.

i think it’s my hormones as that’s what I keep being told. Anyone else feel similar? What is the answer? Really need some tips on getting back to feeling human and not an empty shell😰.

Go back to your GP, you might need your dose adjusting. Menopause does suck but there are multiple methods to try before you give up and accept it.

Thanks for your reply @MatildaTheCat 😊

I’ve tried increasing and it gave me hip pain! I’m not sure decreasing would be the answer. Is there anything else I can do? I’m still undecided if HRT is right for me
