What got you out of the menopause slump?

[lechatnoir]

I'm sure my feelings are familiar to many: totally lost, shadow of my former bubbly outgoing self, stopped all form of exercise - I literally have zero motivation for anything added to low mood, occasional rage, irrational tears, uncontrollable comfort eating and no libido. I want to shut the world away.

But I don't really. I want to find that spark that will make me go back to running & yoga, make we want to socialise, eat better and find me again. So those of you that are exercising and doing g all the right things to support a tricky peri journey, what helped you get started? I'm on HRT but probably due a review as I'm definitely getting worse not better!

that made me laugh!

Ok so I'm swopping progesterone to vaginal, religiously logging symptoms on Balance and have managed a few short yoga videos and went to my first fitness class in a long time yesterday. Can barely move but really enjoyed it and realised I need to get out of the house more !

I don't really drink much so not feeling a huge need to give up altogether but diet could do with some tweaks. I'll take a look at some of those supplements mentioned so thanks all for the messages or support, encouragement and advice. Lots to work with and a glimmer of hope
