Thread: feel like a crazy lady

Hi my name is robby i am a 42 year old female. I have a problem and not real sure what to do. I started having what i think to be pre-menopause symptoms, about 2 months ago. I am moody, i am so stressed out its unbelievable! My sex life sucks, and my periods have been almost completly brown the last 2 months, needless to say they lasted on and off the whole 2 months. this month theres nothing.Hot flashes like theres no tomarrow! My 1 sister went through it at the age of 43 my other said she went throught it in her 30s not real sure and my mother said it was in her 50s but i remember it in her mid 40s. I feel like i have no self worth, i cant do anything im depressed all the time, my mood swings have everyone around me crazy! Now heres the thing, my periods have NEVER been normal. But my sex drive was like i couldnt get enough, now i never want it and at the point i try my best to avoid it! Needless to say my fiance dont think its real funny. Hes wonderful but ya hes a man! Is this really pre or maybe just reg menopause? I really need to know if this is what i am going through or a nervous breakdown! I started a job first day next day i didnt go back! I felt like i was going crazy, i keep forgetting things, like i knew how to do the job, just freaked out and couldnt remember what i was supossed to do!Any way any one have anything simular please help! Anything on this right now would help so i dont think im going nuts!Thanx! Robby.

I truly thought i was going crazy. I've also had thyroid problems and though i was in a thyroid storm. I am naturally a very happy upbeat person, i was having severe bouts of a deep depression, and look at me wrong and i'd cry. My pcp prescribed hormones. At this point i'd do anything to feel like myself again. as of today it's been three weeks. and i can get thru the day with only may 2 to 3 bouts of gloom and doom. the hot flashes are now bearable and i'm hoping that things will continue to get better. if not i can't live like this. teh spotting on the hormones is annoying. anyone elese out ther experiencing the sam. any suggestions or comments appreciated.
