[quote=Anonymous]I read about mood swings during menopause, but nothing even remotely prepared me for the reality.  When they hit, I know in my head that I am feeling irrational, but it overcomes me.  I yell and say things that i dont mean and can hardly believe come out of my mouth.  Unfortunately or maybe fortunately, i almost always keep it together outside my home.  But honestly, I'm not sure my marriage is going to survive menopause.  How crazy is that?  We survived college.  We survived in law issues.  We survived the death of parents and crazy moves for jobs.  We survived teenage hood with kids and a severely ADHD kid who, while beautiful and lovable would drive you nuts sometimes.  But, menopause is likely to do us in.  And it's only been like six months.  I exercise, eat right, and maintain my weight (though the belly fat thing and the bloating have not been strangers).  So it's not something I can control with lifestyle.  I'm trying to learn to walk away and be by myself when I feel the craziness.  Is there anything else I can do?  I am managing the night sweats, increased allergies, insomnia, bloating and everything else pretty well.  [/quote]
