Can't make decisions anymore

[SilverDoublet]

I'm 45, probably in peri menopause, and in the last few years I feel like I can't make decisions at all. I go round and round all the options in my head, make pros and cons lists, but cannot seem to stick to a decision. It's stressful and wearing down our marriage.
I feel like changing my mind all the time. Is this a menopause thing, will hrt help with it? I went to my gp asking for hrt on Friday as I think I am going mad and afraid I'll lose my job now too. She's making me wait 2 weeks while they do blood tests but I feel like I'll crack up. We have some big decisions to make also. Is hrt going to do anything for me?

I am the same. I have lost all decision making ability. I research stuff (holidays, a tutor, home repairs) but never actually commit to anything. I frustrate myself enormously!

Did you try Hrt? Is it the magic cure we need? I'm afraid I'll try it and be even worse.

I’m the same age as you. I also find it very hard to plan and make decisions that affects my life more than a couple of days in advance. I find it difficult to commit to things more than a week or two in the future. I do it because there’s no other choice and my procrastination affects the rest of my family but I don’t like it. Mine is mostly an anxiety issue, the more anxious and stressed I am the more i hate being asked to make plans. The anxiety is party perimenopause I believe but there are other factors. I am ashamed to admit I rely on my DH to do a lot of organising for me - he forces my hand to make decisions! We’d go nowhere a lot of the time if he didn’t!
