Feel like I’m loosing it/Help me enlighten my DP - are there any good sources of info for men?

[NoMoreLimbo]

I honestly feel like I’m loosing my marbles at times and like if I am watching myself from afar being hugely reactive/torching my relationship with DP. I am normally of the (over) sensitive type but now I have reached a whole different level. I surprise even myself.
Even the smallest of things I can go off on a stratospheric crying two hour tangent on.
DP is walking on eggshells and is waiting for the next explosion to come.
I started HRT 2 weeks ago and really hope my mind will come back and emotions stabilise (pretty please say they do).
My DP is of the open and willing to listen sorts of humans. He listens when I talk of how I feel and think and does put in an effort to be understanding. However…I fear my emotions are putting a wedge between us.

Would one of you lovely ladies know of an independent info source for men re how peri menopause symptoms affect women that I could share with him?!?

The podcast by Louise newson is good for men & women, and the book called menopausimg.. good luck!!

Thanks @dreamonlucid I will search for that

Your emotions are a manifestation that f who you are and where you're at, aren't they? What else could they be?

My husband read a book.

Hope things work out for both of you 🙏 I can't relate to much but during pms my moods are all over the place, i do find Ashwaganda herb beneficial as it helps with stress & anxiety and sleep and relaxes my mind. Also make time to go out for walks nature really helps.
My heart goes out to you, it's not easy dealing with hormonal changes and behaviours, take some time out either by yourself or with your partner, do things that make you happy, Good luck ❤️

Thanks all. @dreamonlucid I found the podcast and it’s really good.

@Watchkeys work, single parenting, elderly ill parent and so on.

@Safxxx I actually found some research that said if one had mood changes around periods, post natal depression etc then one could be more likely to also suffer with mood changes during peri/menopause.

@NoMoreLimbo oh goodness I've had both and I'm so dreading the menopause phase, but I decided never to take HRT I'll be sticking to natural remedies 🙏
Ashwaganda does help with mood swings, and I'll take what ever else that will help with the symptoms.
Again I wish you all the luck and pray your troubles eases off 🙏❤️

So your emotions are the emotion for work, the emotion for single parenting, the emotion for having an elderly ill parent etc? Or they are your personal response to those things?

@Safxxx I will check out ashwaganda and see if that’s something I can take.
I hope you sail through this phase and have less troublesome symptoms than you may fear ❤️

@Watchkeys I have been pondering your question…. I guess it is my reaction to those things as it can be a bit much at times and too many plates to spin. Then when I do not feel 100% it’s just too much. Too low. Too reactive. Etc and so on 🤷🏼‍♀️

OP I could have written your post myself ready to no advice for you but 🌷
this menopause is like a rollercoaster
