Evening All,
Following advice here I have given Femoston 1/10 6 months, also decided to engage in some CBT to assist with some of the anxiety I was experiencing. We did a lot of work on self-compassion and making time for me (difficult as a single mum of 2 under 12's who works full time).
But to be honest I'm uncertain if any of it has actually helped, still get anxiety, still bleeding twice a month, still a b***h for a least two weeks of every month, still feel totally overwhelmed by life, still exhausted, now have headaches regularly too (blood pressure is fine). Had a US scan of pelvis and nothing of note, new GP has referred me to a gynaecologist which is great but life is still pants, for a while I felt better but now feel I'm back where I started.
Been like this for a couple of years now and really quite worried that this is me, not perimenopause, the sheer effort required to keep house, kids and work rotating is just too much.
Not wanting sympathy, maybe some reassurance that this is "normal" and that it can improve, or some tips on survival.
Thanks for reading
