Hi I'm new to the Forum and would appreciate support as I really don't understand what is going on.
Where do I start? It's fine to say at the beginning but that would take an absolute age. However, in short, I suffered with Panic Attacks when my marriage broke up 10 years ago - it was to be expected I suppose. Then I remarried a wonderful man who means the world to me and I'm putting him through hell. In the last 5 years we've lost 5 family members (4 with Cancer) including my Mum and Dad, we've moved from the UK to France, had a house built (with all the stress it entails) and left behind our children and grandchildren whom we endeavour to see as much as possible. However, for the past 2 years I haven't felt so good - tired, dizzy, weepy, hot flushes night and day, clammy skin and I could sleep on a clothes line. After a hot flush I feel exhausted and of course, worry about it. My doctor says I'm experiencing all the symptoms of the menopause - something else to worry about !! I just wish this would all go away and I'd feel my old self and in control. Does anyone else feel this way?
