Hi, I'm new to this site and am so glad I found it. I'm in Perimenopause and I didn't know what was happening to me and my body. Relief that i wasn't losing my mind. The fear sure feels real in the moment and is overwhelming. My husband just started a job in town after working out of town for almost 6 years, so I thought I would be feeling better. Never dreamed perimenopause could cause such turmoil. I'm on birth control but that doesn't seem to help. It's hard to staty in the moment when there is panic and fear. I felt really lost for awhile until I found another site with info and now this site. I guess there is no answer, just take it day by day and try different things to see what helps. I Just wish it would go away but now that I see what it is, at least I have some understanding. This site is Great and people are so honest.

You're definitely in the right place JV and you're not alone! Before I came on this site in April I was SURE that I had a brain tumor. I'm nutty at times. And I just can't help it. But being here really helps. Welcome.

It's like a door to sanity. I'm in anger now; just am. Going to go exercise to get the anger out. It's a relief from fear but powerfull too. Right now, I've got a bit of distance and perspective. Hurts though to feel all the pain from the past etc. I did a great program about 10 years ago, dealing with emotions and the subconscious etc so that has helped. It's getting through the moment of whatever is going on that is sooo hard. Thanks for the welcome.

I just ordered a book on letting go of anger by The Dalai Lama. Another good book is The Power of Now by E. Tolle. If we don't work through previos pain/hurt, it'll always come back to haunt us and the rage can get worse with each bout. Power of Now helps keep you grounded in the moment and helps teach you to keep control of the emotion in the moment. Not sure what you are going through, but perhaps you could look into one of these readings. PM me if you like. Keeping pain inside of you just wracks your body with pain held in. Somehow it needs to get out..
Hugs,
