Totally unrelated to Fleecya… can anyone advise please? Lost in the whole menopause thing… anxiety at a huge high, lack of confidence and self esteem.. have the most understanding husband of all time ( if u know what I mean) I am on his back all day every day, he irritates me beyond belief.. rational me knows that it’s me and he has done absolutely nothing, honestly girls I have had a horrendous 48 hours, can’t and have not got outta bed, I am so done with life, how do you cope? Is anxiety normal? Is lack of intimacy a thing? I am sooooo upset and don’t know how to fix it all, is it normal to cry like a lunatic? Help me out girls please… I am lost, is it normal to be like this? I wish I could drive into the sunset and get rid of these sh###y feelings… have the patch, it controls the sweats etc.. but my mind is gone… help me out girls, please, not suicidal, but the struggle is tough… I like a wee drink but don’t because I am worried about adding to my sh##. I have cried all flippin day.. ( post here is a huge cry for help)

MP is so overwhelming! especially when you're getting hit with all kinds of symptoms all at once. But please know you are not alone in these feelings! make an appointment to see your GP/healthcare provider ASAP. If you can't even bring yourself to even make the call (this was me!) Get your other half to arrange it for you, and take you to the appointment if needs be! You do not have to feel this way!
If you're in Ireland, there are a few MP /WOMEN'S HEALTH clinics that deal specifically with MP. There can be a waiting list to see them unfortunately, and they can be expensive, but if you can, consider signing up for an appointment with one.
In the meantime there are many things available to you, which hopefully your doctor should be able to help with in the meantime.
For example I started hrt gel, worked for a while, I then changed over to a patch and have increased my dosage on this a couple times since starting, I say this so that you know it can be hit and miss until you get the right balance. There are many reasons why different combos will or won't work, your doctor should be able to go through options with you.
but it's important to go and get help, no woman need suffer unnecessarily when there are options available to you! And if your doctor is no help, go to a different doctor!
and most importantly mind yourself! I hope you get sorted soon
sending you lotsa hugs
and support is available, you just need to find what works for you, and it will work! And when it does you will feel so much better,
now go ring your GP/health care clinic ....
