I won't be coming back. You ladies have been wonderful in trying to help me, but I think I'm treatment resistant. Maybe there is more going on than just peri, but I don't know what. It seems my symptoms are so much worse than many women here. I mean, I don't think anyone else has anxiety so bad that an article in the paper about someone dying creates more anxiety and fears. The same with reading something about illnesses and diseases. Plus, all of a sudden, I'm afraid of being alone.
My life has become too messed up to be peri, because It's hard to believe that a few hormones can cause all those problems. Do I believe that life will get better when things settle down? Not anymore. Plus, I understand that the anxiety is going to get worse once the periods stop, and I just can't handle anymore of this stuff.
Thanks to all of you; you have been wonderful. I'll be forever greatful for being there when I needed you. :angel:
Much love,

CAT I don't know if you'll come back to read this post, but I just wanted to let you know that everything that you expressed about the anxiety, the fear of reading anything negative or seeing anything negative, the fear that I'm quite ill, the fear of being alone, not allowing my husband to go to work, or having my children remain home with me because of all the fear, the spacey feeling, I've had it all. Like yourself I also thought no one at this site fully understand or has felt the fear and depression that I've dealt with, but I was extremely wrong. I took a brief medical leave of absence from my job because of the constant panic attacks, fear, and everything that you expressed. Now I'm back at work, doing well, preparing to return to college and continuing with my life. If it can happen to me it's possible for everyone.
I tried many antidepressants and although they got me off the sofa they didn't help me to feel like myself. It wasn't until I applied that first hormone patch that I felt a peace and wellbeing that I hadn't felt in months. My doctor kept telling me that it had to be something else since the antidepressants weren't working and she was correct. Thank God for hormones.
Yes, it's difficult to believe that hormones could cause this, but for many women it does. Of course it's wise to see your doctor and have blood work and other lab work done. I could write you a novel about what I've experienced because of my hormones. Recently, my ob/gyn called me with the results from my blood work and my estradiol level was <15, the range is 19-500. Mine was so low that it didn't register. I was soooooo glad to hear the my level was <15, because finally it was registering what I've always suspected.
I hope that you read this post, and continue to seek support from others who understand, if not here then somewhere else. I pray that you regain you health, peace, and joy.

I am so sorry you are feeling like this. Everyone experiences symptoms differently and everyone has a different threshold for this stuff.
WHen I had my bout of anxiety, I was terrified to go out and even getting in the car was horrific once we got out of the driveway. I never took meds but told DH that if it lasted any longer I would. I am not sure what happened, but as quickly as it came, it left....I cannot believe it wasn't hormones. I've had a few brief episodes, but know that feeling well....and yes, reading about something or even noticing a mole that wasn't there before can set you off to worry beyond belief.
I hope you speak to your doctor about this....life should be enjoyed and I know you are not alone.
Thoughts and prayers to you for speedy resolution.

Cat,
My thoughts and prayers are with you...I went through almost a year of what you are going through now and it's not pleasant. I too thought I was messed up beyond belief, thought I was dying, thought every little lump, bump, mole, ache, pain, EVERYTHING was a symptom of something horrible. There were days when I wanted to go to work or to my son's to visit only because I knew there would be someone there to take care of me when I died...seriously. I haven't been to the doc in over a year, not because I feel wonderful, but because I just don't care much anymore, what's gonna happen is gonna happen and I'm tired of tests and meds and counseling. For me it just makes things muddier. I do know that we are living in such an "information" society that every day something new is on TV or in the newspaper/magazines that is said to be harmful or deadly to us and I for one just feel overloaded with all of it. It's not easy some days to get up and get going and there have been lots of days that I couldn't. In my case I think it was the hormones that started it and then anxiety caused by the unfamiliar feelings made it worse....no matter how hard you try, sometimes you can't make your mind and body do what you want until they're ready to. I for one have a really hard time accepting that.
I know that isn't much help or comfort, but I just wanted you to know that you aren't alone in this and I'll feel bad if you leave this list, but I understand. I just hope someday you'll come back because you are always welcome here, I think of it as a safe, reassuring place.
Take care,
Conni

CAT,
Please don't leave us. I know you must be so confused right now. So am I! :confused:
Maybe I've not conveyed my symptoms well, and I don't want to try to equate them to you, but I've had/am having sooo much of what you describe. You are not alone! :wave:
Only a month ago I was feeling SO down and so scared...the slightest noise was sending me through the roof... I couldn't STAND to read or watch the news or any movie with sadness or violence. Only comedy and 'feel good' stuff, and even then it was hard to concentrate/enjoy.
In a period of about a week I went from feeling fatigued and nervous to feeling hopeless, like 'this will never end',very shaky and and having to try so HARD to to deal with normal every day stuff. Just before I went to the doctor, there were a few days that I think I only managed to hold it together because I had to function for my kids. Realizing I needed some help just added more fear and anxiety, and depression. But it did start to get better gradually.
You're very wise to consider that peri may not be the only thing going on. My sister is dealing with all this too, and she firmly believes it's not just hormones, but anxiety disorder triggered by hormonal changes. My mother also had some anxiety problems at my age, and didn't go through meno til 54.
I began to think maybe I should go to the mental health boards instead of here, but I realized that these two things CAN go hand in hand. Doing some reading, I've learned that our 'emotional brain' is separate from our 'intellectual' brain. The emotional brain controls things like fear/sleep/ anxiety, hormones, etc. It has very little 'crossover' into things like language and analytical thinking that humans have developed over thousands ofyears.
All of my symptoms have been with me for several years in PMS form, just not as severe,or long lasting until the last few months. I don't think it's a coincidence that after a few weeks of feeling better, I'm having a couple of bad days now, just before my period is due. I feel like I could sleep for a month, but as soon as I close my eyes I seem to have NO ability to relax or calm, like my brain doesn't want to turn off. So the docs and I still have some work to do to achieve therapeutic levels of treatment.
You're having some bad days, and sound so down right now, but please don't give up. I encourage you to explore everything you're going through with the appropriate doctors. And PLEASE stay here and let us know how you're doing, and just to vent. It DOES help. Even if we can't all identify with your symptoms, WE CARE ABOUT YOU! :angel:
Take Care of Yourself,

Cat, you shouldn't give up. I was like you and the others here for about 2 years. Those two years were the worst. That is when my periods stopped.
I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I didn't think I ever would again and felt like you.
Things do improve. I have many more good days than bad. When I was where you are now, I didn't want to leave the house for fear of dying and didn't want to be left alone for the same reason. It was so depressing and I cried non stop and was a very difficult person to get along with. I had non stop anxiety, and all of the other 35 symptoms mentioned. My grown children thought I was a mental case and really didn't know what to do.
I explained to everyone that I needed to get through this and I would. Just let me be. Don't push me. They did and I am here now much, much better.
In fact, my children came home for the holidays and were amazed at how well everything went and how I was back to my old self. They were here with me for three weeks and there were no disagreements. I was relaxed and let things happen. I could not have done that a year ago.
Give it time. Rest and read and take care of yourself. This is your time.

Hi Cat,
I really hope you are reading our responses to your post! Today is the day you're going to start feeling better - it's Jan. 10, remember? It's not a day where you're telling me you're not going to post anymore!! Hey, I went thru EXACTLY what you described ! Staying here will help you but I can totally understand if you feel so bad that you can't even sit in front of the computer! I found this board after I started to feel better. I also thought no one had it as bad ...well, here I am telling you that I really believe you are feeling the way I did. And, it does get better - your hormones are trying to get use to its being out of wack (your body is reacting like you were a drug addict having withdrawal symptoms!), you will start feeling better!! Please know that we are here for you if you decide to get back to reading the postings.
Don't listen to any bad news, tell everyone and anyone that you don't feel good and that you don't want any stress at all and don't care or worry about anyone else but yourself. Do you have family members near you or a good friend? Get someone to take care of your cats. My sister had to stay with me couple of weeks. I was also constantly on the phone with her - calling her all hours of the day/night (I knew she didn't sleep b/c of insomina). I wish this board wasn't so restricted so that we could at least get on the phone or know where you're at - I would be there in a second!
Your mind can do a lot and make things worse - so don't start thinking you have some other disease either - you went to drs. and test results came back fine. You DO NOT HAVE SOMETHING ELSE - it is MENOPAUSE RELATED!!! I did the same thing to myself! I am fine now so it's living proof that it does get better!! Soon you will be feeling 'normal' again like me too!
I have gotten to know you and so many of the other women here - we are meno sisters now - we have to stick together and maybe one day, we can all laugh about it. My thoughts are with you - kiss and hug your cat for me...please keep in touch..
Hugs,
molly

Cat,
Let me jump in here, too. I don't post much these days because I am one of the post-meno gals and am doing better now. So you see, it does gets better. But let me tell you, I was in terrible shape. I think I posted once about how 2 years ago I was trimming the Christmas tree with tears streaming down my face because I was sure it would be my last Christmas, that is how bad I felt. I was also, just as you, very susceptible to bad news and actually just quit reading the newspapers altogether, stopped listening to news reports, but still it would set me off on a downward spiral if someone would tell me something, or I'd see a headline at the checkout in the grocery store. You just can't avoid that stuff completely. Please don't give up. It really and truly will get better. Molly gave some really good advice, and also described it as our bodies going into "withdrawal" from the shift in hormones. That is so true.
Please stay in touch and take good care of yourself.

Cat,
I hope too you are reading these posts. I have not been on in awhile and it is weird I would have chosen this week to do so and seen your post. You and I have had similar symptoms as I know others have too and we exchanged some posts a few months ago.
I do understand your frustration and being upset. And the dwelling on the negatives in the news, etc. ...yes, I have been there...all of it seems to affect us more at this time. I know it is hard to believe that our hormones can do that but just think of what our hormones do during PMS and then quadruple that if not more , for peri.
I was at the height of my frustration with all these peri changes in Feb/Mar of last year right before my 50th birthday in April. I was so low and depressed and thought that every symptom was going to be my demise. Even just the doctor saying casually that with my 50th coming up to at some time schedule a colonscopy (routine, just like other routine exams, but guess one should have one when they are 50 or in their 50s); set me over the edge. I fretted over it and got myself sick over it. Never did have it as I was so upset about the thought of it. I know I will have to have one at some point but I stoped obsessing about it as I knew it was the peri situation that was making me go nuts over it. I get my mammograms and also get nutsy about those too but I do them every year. I always imagine the worst for every exam and that is worse now in peri. My point in bringing up how I reacted to just a routine thing that didn't even have to be done for a reason nor did it have to be done at that time, he was just saying have it some time in the next year or so...made me just get so upset I was not functioning well. It was like that during that time with other things too in my life...I would react in a very negative and anxiety ridden way to it seemed everything.
I have a friend who also turned 50 at the time I did last year and she was not going thru this at all (still is not, lucky her!!) and so I did feel it was just me until i started coming to this board.
It is not just you and please do not think that. You are not alone. I do understand as I know others do though that if you need to just not check in and take a break from that, you have to do what you need. But do not isolate yourself from those that are in your life and feel that no one can help. Being with people in your life that you love and care about and love and care about you is so important for support.
With this board you will also get support and I hope that you will come back on occassion to check in and say hello and just to vent if you want to. I think that helps to much to just voice how one is feeling.
Please take care!!

I just saw this!! How are you???? I have thought of you often and wondered and know others have too. I hope you are doing better. Believe me I had a relapse of my symptoms this year in Feb/march and was a real mess, anxiety wise so I understand. I somehow have been better as of the past month or a bit before and keep praying I won't get like that again. But who knows with the hormones all over the place.
Just wanted to say I was glad to see your name in here and hope you'll post again and tell us how you are doing.
hugs to you,

Lotsa love and hugs!

Cat,
So glad to see your postings!!! I read your other post that was in my birthday wish thread but thought I make my response here so it's more directed to you!
I am so sorry to hear about all your losses! How horrible for you! My dad passed away in 2000 and there isn't one day that goes by that I don't think about him. It is very hard when you lose a loved one, and it is totally understandable why you have been feeling anxiety and depressed. Please know that we are here for you! A big {{{hug}}}}...
I hope you know that I've thought of you often. It is so good to hear from you even tho you are going thru a bad time. Healthwise--I hope you are doing better. Give yourself time to heal and do take care of yourself too. I'm sure you are having family support but remember we are a family here too so come back and stay with us here too. There are some really great ladies on here!
love & hugs to you,
molly
