Just looking for support and understanding and to reach out ! Im 48 and have struggled with extreme heavy periods and depression, I do mean suicidal, neurotic and not myself, I had such heavy periods that o couldn't cope at work I was not taken seriously by my gp, I went Online to order the mini pill, have used it for 5 months as desperate to slow the heavy periods, it's helped and periods were normal, I have hair falling out, before on my head and now all over. I guess this is menopause and normal , but my moods are so bad and I'm so foggy with my thoughts and not myself in any way , shape or form, I can accept this and move on, it's just the extreme anxiety and I don't know if anyone else felt this way, just wonder , will it pass? Thank you

I'm so sorry to read this...it sounds awful. I can relate, I was similar in terms of mood/anxiety etc. HRT has helped hugely, as has reducing sugar/carbs, taking magnesium supplement, and doing yoga.
Could you talk to your GP again and try HRT? I have no medical knowledge, but heavy periods are horrific and you need support.
Sending love and strength x
