I feel like I'm nuts!! - Menopause Message Board

Hey Rheanna if your out there. I went to the doctors and had my hormone levels checked and they came back fine. I am so upset as to what my problem is?!!!! I don't want to admit it, but I have to be honest and wonder if I have resentment towards my husband and thats why I lost interest and feelings for sex?! I went on the addiction board and mentioned my fioricet use and found its quite common!! Great! But I fell so great and normal when I'm on it!! I was going to mention it to my doctor, but I chickened out!! It's the only thing that makes me feel normal and I don't want to give that up!!!! I'm so ****ed and confused. I know I'm hooked on it, but dam it, it seems like the only thing that works!! Help anyone?!!!!!!

Hi Rheanna,
I totally agree. I am going through the empty nest thing in a big way. All my children are in school , and when we moved here, my oldest didn't want to come with us, which killed me, but I have to understand he's 22 and has to live his own life. In a way, I'm proud of myself because my own mom can't let go, always getting the guilt trip!! But now he's talking about coming down!! My husband said give him 6 months and he'll be here, its been 3!!

I can tell he misses us when we talk on the phone, but I always tell him it's his choice but he is always wecome!! I'm just so use to the mommy thing and now there all gone!!! I keep going through the " I want another baby phase" I hear its normal, but God, the feeling is so strong!!!! But I have to realize, it's not a replacement, this should be my time now, I started having children at a young age-17 and its all I know!!! I missed out on alot, but I just don't feel I'm done!!!! Can anyone relate? Do I try to get pregnant again to feel complete or am I just being selfish?
