Hope,
I am 52, last year I had a dnc and ablation. I had prolonged periods. It took care of them, no periods. I still have hot flashes, I am not on any meds. for them. I still have hormone imbalances from time to time. I sometimes have the night sweats and wake up wide awake too. I think it will settle down, all my Drs. say it will. I am a person who has always been anxious, and a negative thinker. I still think some of this is hormonal. I remember as a teenager feeling anxious, no one ever called it a real problem, though. They would say you have growing pains! That was the old term...growing pains! LOL...
They may be right? We are growing, and one thing I know is everything changes. So why not wrap our arms around these changes and hope for something positive, rather then say our best years are behind us. Maybe just maybe there are just as good ahead.
I think this time of life 45-55 is a reflection. We do need to look at our lives and let go of the things we can't any longer use. But the big thing is keep going, find new interest, learn new things, go new places. Keep involved with life.
These are things I see in my own life anyway. I working at home, have isolated myself from so many things, not on purpose of coarse. I didn't allow myself the importunity to grow. Then I tried things and had panic. Then I dwelled and put myself down, when I got sick or had a health problem, I would get fixed on it and worry.
I'm working on all of it, and feel so much better, but I need to keep on working it as all these bad thinking habits are still hanging around. I have to make the choice all the time to stay the coarse.
I'm glad your working it too. A little bit every day...Thats what we do! Good job!
