| I think I'm in menopause or just approaching. (I have an IUD and don't get a period, so I don't know for sure) For about a year I've felt really....nothing. I don't think I'm depressed, I just have no desire to go anywhere, do anything, see anyone. I just feel flat. Is this menopause or just me? |

| It's 100% perimenopause and/or menopause. Please treat it with MHT or SSRI's and self-care. I've had it too. Hang in there! |

| Also, therapy, reading IG posts on it, and podcasts help immensely to know I'm not alone. |

Why do you suggest that? (no snark) I have it because I had terrible pain from fibroids. It will come out in 2 years when time's up. Do IUD's cause flat feelings? Fwiw, I have had IUD for about 5 years and this flatness started in the last year or two. |

I feel this hard. I’ve been suffering a variety of symptoms, to include significant anxiety and I suspect depression. I just started Zoloft for the first time (no idea if it will help but it’s not yet). And starting the “process” with my OBGYN. But it’s not been easy or fast. It’s amazing how fast and strong this has come on. And how I was not expecting it. NO ONE talks about this. |
