Hello everyone,
I've been looking at the forum postings for a little while but haven't found the courage to post until today. First of all I'd like to say how much I have appreciated the wealth of information, support and upliftment available on this site. I have found it invaluable and comforting.
I have been perimenopausal for about 2 years now and my symptoms at the moment are mainly night sweats and awful emotional upset. Its tough at the moment because at 48, I also have a teenage daughter with severe anxiety and phobic issues for which she has thankfully started to receive treatment and an 86 year old Mother-in-Law who lives alone, 130 miles away and is ill with near kidney failure. We, my hubby, myself and daughter are the only family and I don't think she has long. Suffice to say I feel all over the place with it all and would like to know if anyone else can empathise?
Its not that I desire misery as company you understand, but just that someone else might have been where I am and can understand. It would be nice to know that you got through it. I'd like to think that I will too but some days, especially with DD, seem really tough. I take 1000mg of omega 3's and 6's and am contemplating St John's Wort but being sensitive, I can't tolerate SSI's too well. Don't really want to go there if I'm being truthful. Thankfully I am having therapy and it is helpful.
I hope you don't mind my honesty.
Love to you all. X
