    I'm 50 and am going through perimenopause. I'm on medication-assisted treatment for previous painkiller dependency, and my biggest side effect to the MAT has always been heat intolerance. So it was hard to tell where the medication left off and the menopausal heat symptoms came on. Then I figured the pandemic was adding to my feeling depressed. And I suppose it was, but then the crying spells started. Usually they're triggered by nostalgia (childhood memories, songs I love and connect with pleasant events), and they come and go quickly. This video is helpful and reassuring. So is having my mother's support, and my husband's understanding. Talking about the changes really helps.

    Down and vulnerable I agree with you Eileen. I have a heightened sense of emotion and really notice how in depth I think about things what people say and actions throughout the day. Also in the lead up to my period 2 weeks before I'm so down an tearful. X

    This is me all the time these days. I use to be Good and could hold on for about 2 weeks before an outburst, but with the anxiety being so bad since july and feeling ill everyday , i have cried and cried everyday at some point everyday now , it does give me some relief . I just dont want to feel like this for the next 10 years or however long this bastard thing goes on.

      @AvogelCoUk  5 лет назад +2

      I’m so sorry to hear about your symptoms and how distressing it is for you. There are lots of practical things you can do about the anxiety, such as staying well hydrated, avoiding all caffeine/ alcohol, and getting out in to the daylight every day. It’s often hard to get started with more self-care when you feel so bad, but every small step you make will help. If your mood is really bad, you may like to check with your doctor or see a naturopathic practitioner who can take a detailed history and design you an individualised programme.

      Hi
      This is a really common feeling in the menopause; I often used to wish I could just fly away into the horizon and never be seen again! However, this does pass and, sometimes, just being aware that it is OK to feel like this can help you cope with it.

    Thank you for this video! I was searching RUclips for any shred of comfort and I found it. I'm 47 and believe I am perimenopausal?? I have noticed extremes in my emotions lately and knew it was probably "The Change" but I did not know how utterly overwhelming the emotions could be. And I work a lot, so unfortunately, a lot of my "outbursts" have occurred at work, which is mortifying. Mostly just co-workers walking in to my office to ask a question and finding me weeping at my desk. One time though, about 3 months ago, I raised my voice during a conversation with not just a co-worker but one of my superiors. Even as it was happening I was mortified but couldn't stop myself. It took a few days but I finally found the courage to apologize to them but I still feel anxious about that interaction. I'm sure everyone thinks I hate my job or something, which couldn't be further from the truth. For the first time in my working life I actually love what I do and am excited to do it and am really good at it, or at least I was excited until about 6 months ago, since then any excitement in life feels hard to find. I still love my job but I am worried about what my co-workers and boss must be thinking with my moodiness and tears. Then I beat myself up the whole night/forever for how I handled myself during the day and that makes me cry more and intrusive thoughts about being fired creep in. This was the first video I saw that addressed dealing with menopause in the workplace and I am so grateful. I was seriously starting to wonder if women just quit their jobs when this happens or how the hell do we get through this?! Your video gave me some solid action items on how to manage my menopause and even suggestions on how to get these tough conversations started with co-workers and loved ones. Thank you!

      You're welcome Kim, glad to be of help. Have you checked with your HR Dept to see if they have any menopause at work policy, many firms are taking this up now and can offer extra support? If not, why not start your own group at work, other women there may be having issues as well but don't know what to do.

    I have felt like total c**p for the past month. Crying spells, anxiety, memory & concentration issues, hair loss & depression. There have been times when I've wanted to end it all because I simply cannot function normally. I had a hysterectomy (kept both ovaries) so I must be going through the dreaded "change of life". It's funny though how all things like this start with "men": menstruation, menopause, mental health. Oh no! I can feel another crying wave about to hit! 😪

    I have BPD and bipolar and I'm also going through early menopause and I cry all day everyday to where I have to where sunglasses if it's necessary or not because my eyes look so puffy and their raw I never expected this with menapause. I haven't taken meds for my bipolar for over 2 years because of weight gain and I lost all kinds of weight but I might have no choice but to get back on my meds because dealing with menapause plus BPD and bipolar , it's no joke !! Edit : second time watching and second comment I just relate with this video to help me realize it's just the menapause

I keep crying, having burst outs and can't cope with stress. Started HRT and now want to take some natural remedies because doesn't seem to be enough. Can I take Sage and HTP1 with estradiol gel and Utragestan. Is it safe.

      Hi Valia
      Sorry to hear that your struggling just now. Unfortunately, we do know that stress can have a huge impact on menopause symptoms. Sage can be taken with HRT but you would need to check with the manufacturer of the HTP so see what their advice is.
      I would recommend a magnesium supplement as this can be very helpful for stress, approx 200mg twice a day.

      Unfortunately, I don’t know of any specific ones, sorry. I would suggest checking some of the health and fitness magazines as these usually have ads at the back for retreats etc.

      Valerian or menopause support there. Just relax more sleep. Eat healthy eliminate so sugar, nightshade and gluten. Stop smoke or drink. Meditation and yoga breathing.
