is it menopause?

I am 47. I had an eblasion about 15 years ago due to extremely heavy periods. I became very sick and anemic and it was either a blood transfusion every month or an eblasion.

I have gotten to the point of horrible night sweats, nightmares, not sleeping,and even lost weight bc I am not eating much. I feel like my fiancé is talking to other women I get upset if he likes a girls pic on Facebook I’ve become so insecure and i definitely don’t feel good about myself. I cry when I look in the mirror.

I wake up I cry, I wash dishes or just could be watching tv and I have severe anxiety and start to cry.

I feel so emotional and at times a complete burden to my family. I honestly have had thoughts they would be better without me.

what is happening to me????????

I was not put on iron because after the eblasion my blood levels fixed itself. I was literally bleeding to death every period.

I will call my dr tomorrow I just was trying to see if it would pass first.

Sorry to hear you had to have a hysterectomy. I’m sure it has made your hormones crazy. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I definitely need some peace of mind

There is a huge amount of help and information now around peri and menopause. Ask to be referred to the intermediate gynae or menopause clinic locally- lots of help there and solutions to help you manage. There is a lot about it on the internet too -several menopause experts have websites and blogs or programmes you can watch but the best thing would be the referral. Good luck- many of us have been there done that and come out the other side.😁

Definitely need to hear there’s light at the end of the tunnel. I just want these feelings to go away and I want the dang furnace in my body to relax…. I get mad and boom my body is on fire. Has that happened to you??
