Just turned 50 and in pitch battle with menopause. I think I have always been an introvert that craves connection with people, but I've never put myself out there, don't want to bother people. I have a few good friends but I won't want to burden them, I always try to be the reliable shoulder when they have problems. I keep quiet about mine. On paper I'm happily married, great kids, no money worries, despite menopause I'm in good health and so are my immediate family. So what the hell do I have to feel so miserable about??. I know that menopause has made it worse, but I have always been like this. I'm exhausted, hate moaning and myself. What can I do to help myself?
