Hi everyone I'm new to this forum just really hoping to connect to some like minded ladies who has some form of idea what I'm going though. I'm 38 been having peri menopause symptoms for 12 months or so I have been on HRT since June I feel so alone since the docs just gave me patches that's it but I feel like I'm an alien in my own body, I don't regonise myself any more my thoughts n feelings I feel like I can't trust them am I just hornmonal or is this how I feel I find myself asking myself all the time. 1 min I'm crying feel like a mess I can't stop eatting I have no motivation I'm so anxious most/all of the time my skin is hornedous my hair is always greesy n falling out my Brain fog is horrendous to the point i left a pan on the stove wasnt untill the smoke alarm was going off that i found i had put the carrots on but can I remember doing it NOPE n its so scary cause ive got 3 daughters im so snappy with them & my husband im no fun any more i bearly have any motivation i sit on the edge of my seat most of the time looking for things to do yet dont actully have the energy to do it. Heart palpitations, lack of sleep or feeling like need to sleep all the time, bloated uncomfortable belly n my periods stop for months then a bout of 2 in 1 month the list is endless the symptoms did get better after few months of being on HRT but slowly a few things started to come back I just started taking vit b I don't know what else to do now.
Feeling like you don’t know who you are anymore

Hi. Im Sharron and Ive just joined too. Im 54 and i know exactly what youre talking about. I cant remember when I started having symptoms - they just creep up on you. I think it was about 4 years ago I started noticing little things. Getting anxious, mood swings, etc. The brain fog was the worst though. I went to the gp and they didnt really listen to me, just suggested hrt. I didnt want to go down that road as I had heard lots about how it can increase cancer risks and we have a family history of cancer so that was a definite no for me. About a year ago someone told me about lions mane supplements for brain fog so i started taking them. I have noticed a difference, they have helped a bit. What gets me most though is the feeling of being alone, not knowing who to talk to. Sometimes i feel like i just need to talk but i have no one i can talk to. Its a horrible feeling. Makes you feel isolated.
