last December I was diagnosed with early signs of menopause , I'm now on the peri-menopausal at 44 yrs of age. As a single mum of two boys aged 10 and 14, I find it hard and struggle with housework, school runs, out of school activities, homework , full time work and very rare social life. it's never ending.
although I have very few close friends that I meet for coffee whom I could get advise and listens to me, there are most nights in the evening that I sit on the sofa and then tears would come out suddenly.
I feel really down on weeknights before bedtime when the boys are tucked in bed.
I'm in a very new relationship with a man that I met online who seems loving and caring and also has a son , but I'm sceptical and careful of venting it out on him as I am apprehensive that I might scare him away. I have casually warned him about my moods and so far we haven't had any major arguments, but there are times that I misinterpret his actions I.e. not calling or texting me during the day, I become paranoid !!!
Last week I had panic attacks that he hasn't called me over 24 hrs thinking he is distancing away from me and will dump me anytime. My anxiety levels is getting worst. I would wake up in the middle of night with sweats and cry.
GP suggested HRT and still getting used of side effects.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I hope someone out there can relate to my experience. thank you.
