Hello
I’ve been in HRT for around five years for peri. My main symptom was mood swings. I would have two personalities for half a month each. It was awful. Probably close to PMDD and something that had increased from one day PMS when I was younger.
HRT has been a miracle for this. But I’m just no fun anymore. I don’t laugh or have fun with my young children. I just exist and get through each day. I’m on holiday atm and I can see my children just wanting to be fun with my husband. I just want to sit and do nothing. I know there’s the stereotypes which apply here - I get them dressed and put their suncream on and make sure they eat etc etc. So Dad is left with the energy to play and be the fun parent.
I’m just wondering if, after going through all the rigmarole of getting HRT, anyone found that anti-depressants are probably the best option?
