Hello Lady E,

I'm so sorry you are feeling so out of sorts lately. How long have you been battling anxiety?? I think that anxiety, which can be caused from hormones or other physical and mental situations that come into our life, can lead to fatigue and depression.

Are you under any major stresses in your life? If so, that could be the cause.

I developed major anxiety, with several "panic attacks" daily at the age of 36. It plaged me on and off for many years. I still do get the occasional "panic" feeling once in awhile.

I know it's hard and depressing to not be able to be yourself, it seems like an endless cycle of feeling awful. If its not a physical problem, then I think it will eventually pass or at least will get better with time.

For me the only thing that helped was xanax, it's medication for the nerves, taking small dosages for me, helped beyond belief.

I will say a prayer for you, hang in there and keep your mind on things positive as possible, if you have children and things that are constantly demanding, I know how hard that is, so be kind and gentle to yourself. I hope you feel better very soon.

Hugs, Juliann

Lady E,

I honestly can say that I know exactly how you feel. Have you had any tests done lately to check your hormonal level? I know sometimes they are unreliable but perhaps once you have this done you will be better informed . I wish I could give you a hug just so that you know you are not alone. The truth is that if you see all the posts on this site you will realise that we woman are going through an awful lot. You are pretty young still and you have lots and lots to look forward to. I believe what you are going through will be temporary because I know how I felt at 35.

You honestly are speaking my mind. I too have a lovely family and hate the fact that I feel the way I do. I am seriously menopausal at this stage and everything started up again two weeks ago. I know one thing that everyone on this site is supportive of one another and so every time you feel this way just post and know that we are feeling your pain.

I will honestly pray for you that God will give you the strength to endure all you are feeling.

God Bless and if you wish to send me Pm go ahead

Love from

(((HUGS))) Sweetie,

You were feeling better, and you will again - as difficult as it is, this is a nasty "blip," and will pass.

I have cycled in and out of mood swings many times. It's at a point where I just do my best to let it go by, as sure enough, it gets better on its own.

Don't be afraid to ask your family and friends for support if you need it.

Better days are coming. Meanwhile, we're all here for you.

Let us know how you're doing, okay? Take good, gentle care of yourself.

Last night my husband held me while I cried and sobbed and yelled.I told him I needed help,that I felt crazy.He reassured me that this would pass and that menopause doesn't go away in a week.I love him so much.I also took a xanax and went to bed a little early.I feel better today.Not nearly as tense.I also discovered that the tension was causing the shotness of breath feeling,when the xanax kicked in it went away,I remembered having that before,so that settled my nerves.Thank you so much for the caring replies.Perimenopause is a terribly stressful time and I hate it,but with GODs blessings and the love of family and this wonderful board I know I will make it.

Yes, you will make it, LadyE.

And what a blessing that you have a good man. Tell him we at Power-Surge love him for being so kind to you.

Hang in, Sister - I've been in exactly the same place, ranting and crying and saying I need help. It gets better, truly.

(((HUGS)))

I sure hope your feeling better, I know just how you feel and so does a lot of these other very caring ladies. Just know we are here for you and we all can relate to what you are going through..... I have found that sometimes when I get up I just start thanking God for the beautiful day and having positive thoughts and that helps me a lot.
I will pray for you and you hang in there you will be o.k.
