Depression and Menopause


19 years ago 0 53 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hi, champ! Never dealt with menopause, but I have had depression and pregnancy and depression with menstrual cycles. Its tough. The hormones make the depression worse and vice-versa. I have found that regular exercise, sex, and evening primrose oil combined with cranberry juice daily helped with taming things due to hormones. Dunno if this works for menopause specifically, but it sure can't be unhealthy! Hormones and depression really hurt! I have noticed that there is a monthly cycle right along with my periods that makes me more emotional, especially when I'm not taking care of myself. Hope this helps, Liz

hey champ sorry to hear things aren't going so well. i don't have any experience with menopause but i can understand how frustrating trying to deal with your feelings and a spouse who doesn't understand what you're going through can be. just try to remember there are people out there who do understand and feel for you!
