In peri and just cant be bothered

[justnorthofsanity]

Hi. I am 52 in peri. I have lost all motivation for anything. I know i need to do something to sort it but am struggling to do it. I was exercising regulary but started c25k and pulled my calf muscle. Motivation since has plummeted. It has not healed yet. I have mostly been a sahm for the last 12 years (have part time office work 6 hours a week) would like to work more but every job advert i see just makes me want to not bother. How do i pull myself back up. Tell me i am not alone. Also i cant stop bloody crying.

You might find this thread comforting, OP:

Have you considered HRT?

Thanks..i shall have a read. Up until i hurt my calf i was doing ok ....i had heavy periods in my 40's due to fibroid but since had an embolisation and they are much better. Yes i have thought about hrt...but think is all i do..then cry (again)

Oh bless you, I was the same! Now on oestrogel and Utrogestan. Not miraculous for me but definitely helps. Wish I hadn’t delayed it for so long. You are definitely not alone.

Thank you...that thread was helpful. I know i need to see the gp
