I just don't feel like me and feel lost ...

[Meltinthemiddle]

I'm tired all the time, experiencing Brian fog, memory loss, headaches, weight gain, black heads and spots along jaw line, hairs on chin and neck. I'm emotional all the time and l have crippling anxiety which really is affecting my daily life. I've quit my job of 9 years and now I'm on my third job but still not happy. I feel like I don't have a purpose. I took a job with less responsibility and less hours but didn't feel happy or satisfied. Now I'm working more hours with more responsibility I feel stressed. I just can't settle. It's like I want something but then I don't want it. I'm 41 and my kids are teenagers so not sure if it's a mid life crisis or if I'm menopausal 😭. Did anyone else feel like this? Im not suicidal but some days I just feel like I'm done, like what's the point or my purpose. I don't even enjoy things that's I used to enjoy anymore either. I have the coil so don't have periods as such so no really changes there but I just don't feel like me.

@Krazykitty I really hope it makes a difference to you, I can really sympathise. Sending love.

Thank you @Trixiefirecracker. Hope you continue to feel a million dollars 😊

Just a bit of feed back. I try Her Mind supplement as advised on here- only a few days in and do feel better!I take a multivitamin too. Feel happier and definitely feel like more energy which was/is my problem. Not sure about brain fog yet.

I also tryied Tyrosine - not sure if it was that or not but terrible nights sleep, almost like I didnt need to sleep, had felt good that day. Felt fine the next day. Havent taken another yet.

I take most of the supplements.

Anyone have digestive problems and lots of burping?

HRT. It's a lifesaver. I started taking it at 41 and I'm still on it 8 years later. It literally saved me.

100% this (despite my username! I'm just changing doses)

@Meltinthemiddle are you me?! Feeling same😊 turn 42 next month and relate to what you said. You're not alone.
Interesting to hear about vitamins. Will try that.

Totally forgot I started this thread. Thank you😊. The last few weeks I've been suffering with tired, heavy and aching legs like I've walked miles. Its also a struggle to bend and put shoes on without groaning which maybe due to weight gain. Just feel like a old lady at 41 how will I even cope at 60 😭

Hi all, this thread is reassuring, thank you although im sorry we are having problems in different ways. I thought I'd posted earlier in this thread under a different name but I can't see it.

I'm mid 30s and have had the following over the last 2 years:

Dry mouth
Dry eyes
Gained weight which won't go despite changes to diet and activity
Palpations
Brain fog
Anger but this was brief
Being too hot a night but this is not regular
Hot flushes
Anxiety

The anxiety has been the worst part. It's a bit better now but difficult to predict, can be up and down in a day and it suddenly goes or it comes on.

I saw my GP who was very thorough but everything came back clear. He thinks I have post viral issues. I've never knowingly had covid. He's out me on forceval supplements to try. He said he'd repeat bloods in a month.

I know you aren't GPs but I wondered how my experience related to yours please? I'm sceptical of the viral suggestion but maybe it's a covid thing.

Thank you.
