About Me
I have 5 kids (4 boys, 1 girl) and 4 step-sons. My girl is the baby at 16. I am just realizing that the symptoms I have been having for the last few years are apparently due to perimeno. I've had episodes of depression in the past that lasted several days to a couple of weeks, but had no idea that they were brought about by this life change. I thought maybe I was just going nuts. After many, many long hours researching on the internet, I've come to understand these horrible episodes are caused by that hormonal imbalance and am extremely happy to know that I am not alone in this, that I don't suffer alone. Not that I would wish this on anyone (except maybe my ex), but to know there are others out there and I'm not completely crazy.
Interests
When I'm in a "normal" frame of mind, I enjoy helping my daughter with her career endeavors, playing puzzle games on the internet and any type of crafts, though with the peri I seem to have lost my creativity somewhere. I'm currently trying to organize 30 years worth of photos of the 5 kids to put into scrapbooks, while keeping the scrapbooks current for my husbands 4 grandkids. Talk about a task of major proportions!

Hi Vldiller you did give me encouragement, I just get emotional when someone cares. I have anxiety problems aswell and her partner doesnt try and understand he just makes things worse by telling her I am crazy, I have my grandchildren a lot I love them to bits but they are very demanding they are 15mths 4yrs and 6yrs old and i get very tired. When we have a falling out I dont see them her partner tells her to stay away.I dont know why he doesnt like me I have only ever help them.I havnt seen them for 4 days now.Thanks for talking to me.

LOL, I have thyroid problems too. Have been on meds for years. But, can't blame my thyroid being underactive now...my labs were done and everything is A okay in that deprartment. The doc did tell me it is too soon to draw a lab to confirm the menopause! So I suppose losing my mind and having hair on my chin is a normal thing? giggle. It appears God added some more things besides the "pain of childbirth" after Eve took a bite of that apple. She was probably hungry because it was before her period! What does the good book say about menopause? Nothing! Shoot, now I am hungry too! Why didn't God put some coco plants near Eve to give her another option? I mean apple or a Hershey Bar? I am sure she would of made a better choice!
