I'm losing my mind

[Lakeviewhouse]

Please can someone give me some advice. I'm 48 and as per my GP I'm perimenopausal. I'm on 50 Eastrodot patches and I've the marina coil for progesterone. I also take over the counter supplements daily. Hot flushes night sweats all stopped after I started the patch about 2 months ago.
But I feel like I'm losing my mind, like my head and body are separate. I'm stressed and feeling like I can't cope with children, husbands, Christmas, work etc. I feel I want to run away and just die or hibernate until its all over. I just feel I can't cope anymore.
I blew at DH over the weekend and said some really nasty things to him. At that moment I just hated him, life, everything and now he won't talk to me. It was a huge culmination of stress and I just exploded. This is not how I behave or act. Its so out of character for me. I feel like this is not me and hard to make sense of. I'm rambling now.
Anyone else experience this and can offer some helpful advice??

50 is still a fairly low dose. Could you maybe go back to the GP and see if it can be increased? I found that hot flushes were the first thing to disappear for me on a lower dose too. It took a higher dose to sort out the other issues. You might also consider swapping to the gel rather than a patch - according to my GP, some women absorb poorly from patches and do much better on the gels.

Good luck!

I tried 3 different types of hrt and had to tweak doses before I found one that suits. Like you I was going mad - go back to your gp and ask to be reviewed. Gp knowledge of hrt is often crap imo but perseverance pays off op. Good luck!
