Hi,
I’m 55, last period at 50 apart from a one off bleed so post menopausal. I’m doctor and medicine avoidant unless it’s critical, then I’m not daft. So the physical menopausal symptoms so far I’ve handled okay, but I’m now crippled with emotional swings, depressions, lethargy...so badly I honestly feel I’m going mad. Coupled with dire insomnia, it’s a miserable life.
I just know that it’s linked to the menopause ( I used to go a bit mad monthly so I’m hormone sensitive ) and don’t want to get batted away with anti depressants
Anyone else experienced this? And if so did HRT help at all? And if so what particular type? And can this be done without a return to bleeds?
I’ve finally made a gp appointment and am reading up online but I’d really value people’s personal experiences if you’ve got the time. Thanks
