BPD AND MENOPAUSE
Hi Everyone
I'm currently going through menopause and the pysch and gp have told me that there is no doubt it impacts on mental health. Lately I have found I'm going through many emotions within one day and not sure if this is because of it. Especially as I have not had a period for about 5 months so far.
Just wondering what experiences others have had and what strategies or things you found have helped. Last night I was extremely manic for no reason but also found I was getting lots of sweats so just wondering if this is connected?

Re: BPD AND MENOPAUSE
THANKS @pip
Yeah I tried those over the counter herbal ones didnt make much difference. But yes I just think it does exaggerate my moods somewhat. Yes I have spoken to my gp but I dont want to go the HR way as there is cancer in my family so dont want to take the chance. As long as I know this is normal thats fine, I may try those herbal ones again as when I was taking them I was still having my periods so maybe now that I'm not it may help. This is the 2nd time I haven't had periods for about 5 months. I find when I do I dont have the symptoms but when they stop all goes crazy! The joys of being a woman.......
