Help me I am so fed up

[Parsley1234]

I am 54 no periods for 4 years am on estrogel 4 pumps up from 2 plus the utrogeston tablets 1 per day since taking theses for 3 months I feel no better in fact I feel more pissed off more tired more weight gaining abd less inclined to do anything except feel shit and moan. My question is please dear god what can I do is this my lot in life now ? My biggest issue is my mental health I feal so low but I accept it’s been a terrible 18mths I’ve had two friends diagnosed with MND one has died, my bf and I split up due to a young onset dementia diagnosis, I lost 3 businesses and am working for UC to pay last two years of school fees, my son is leaving for uni next year so empty nest, not sure where I want to live and of course the pandemic

Hi OP, didn’t want to read and run. I am peri menopause and have awful anxiety. I am on HRT but as I am progesterone intolerant, the days when I take Utogesteron are really bad. I have finally given in to antidepressants while I wait for a gynaecologist appointment.

You could probably use antidepressants to help you through - you have had a very tough time at a time in your life where you need some time to adjust. Perhaps talk to your GP again?

Thank you @Annasgirl I’m not sure I have a pretty gate menopause therapist I’m seeing her this week I just feel so low😢 but the weight is the worst
