Feeling completely invisible.

[Cliffedge25]

Peri menopausal so there has definitely been a big shift in my emotional brain functioning capacity.

But I’ve noticed over the last 12/18 months that to everyone around me, I am invisible, insignificant and just unimportant.

An introvert, quiet, people pleaser. I am and have been struggling with insomnia, anxious thoughts & brain fog.

I’ve got a bloody fantastic job, married with kids. I travel a lot for work, just got back from 3 days away and I’ve checked in with everyone, how are they, how have they been and what have they been up to… zero back from any of them. DH, nothing, not a single solitary enquiry about my time away.

Family & friends too, not a text, WhatsApp, message from a single person for around 3 weeks now. Not a single communication from my own mother for 6 months now.

If I died tomorrow, I don’t think any one would notice or care.

Feeling very fed up, taken myself off to bed, said goodnight and no one even replied.

It all makes me want to just disappear.

I know exactly how you feel, im post menopause, its been 4 years and something in my brain has changed. HRT gave me horrendous vertigo so I cant take it but I feel very different to before, I guess thats why it used to be known as the 'change' there was truth in that simple word!

Take your bloody fantastic job - excellent starting point - and then build a life for yourself. Fill your time with things you’d like to do, abx with people yoy want to have at your table and whi wang to be at your table. Stop doing everything for everyone in the house - the domestic version of quietly quitting.
