Penny Becomes Emotional As She Shares How Menopause Has Affected Her | Loose Women

No one tells you the long list of symptoms you’re going to have not only physically, but also mentally. It’s a great shame it’s treated as such a secret and rarely discussed in families.

Brain fog, weight gain and sweats but also the ignorance of others especially at work .

Its the depression i cant cope with

i have been going through all these things as a 60 year old single female. doing a devotional/ meditation each morning like the 23rd Psalm and it gives me strength and perspective.❤

I’m having perimenopause and the night sweats and nightmares are frightening sometimes

I was so touched by Penny’s reaction to what she’s been through and for the tender way in which she shared her experience with us - thank you ❤

Yep; stress, lack of confidence, lack of sleep, weight gain, internal combustion of heat..no sweats ...but the brain fog !! Quick to temper was horrible , for everyone 🤦‍♀️ However, Hrt oral + then patches have been a great help !! It's a case of asking for support from anyone + everyone tbh...GP, hubby, kids, work too !! It will get easier 🤗

Thank you for that im just going through bad time and as a OCd suffere it makes my perimenopause even worse

You need to continue to discuss this..

EARLY? WE SHOULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE MENOPAUSE THIRTY YEARS AGO ALREADY!!!!

I’m almost into menopause here in the states and just recently like a week and a half have had such crazy anxiety and depression (something I struggled with throughout my entire life) and it’s been awful. I don’t want to do anything with myself and I feel bad about everything of where I am at in my life. I’ve lost interest and I am very alone. I don’t even know what the point is. How frustrating that I am dealing with these feelings all over again in my life at 52 yrs old. And I have searched everywhere and can’t believe that there are no supports groups for menopausal women near me. It’s very very frustrating.

Hello ladies, 55 here. For me is not being so bad. I take good care of myself and I am more active than ever so don't overworry. In my case no depression, some sweat and hot flashes, but other than that happier than ever. I am divorced, no kids. I like my job, I study and make art, I have a good life. It is not the same for everyone!
