What are the things you have exprienced during menopause?
I am looking for personal experiences with Menopause. The reason is the websites can give you a clinical explanation but experience is always better than what can be read in a book. Please if you are willing, share your personal experiences with menopause with me. I think mine may have begun. Yikes!
I didn’t have hot flushes during the day, but woke up sweating during the night. I also suffered from depressions, broke out into tears for no reasons until I decided to to hat a grip of the situation.
I kept a journal with my thoughts, changed the way I ate and added a lot of soy to my diet and generally foods that are rich in phytoestrogens, like beans, legumes, seaweed, yams, apples, potatoes, and carrots.
To fight my depressions I took a yoga class and also danced a lot whenever things went rough.
Eventually things calmed down and looking back I think it was not so bad after all.
I didn’t gain weight so far (its five years now) and feel as attractive and as alive and young as before. All the best!
