Ever feel like you’re losing all your marbles?
I don’t know about you but from time to time I feel like I’m going crazy! Nothing makes sense, I can cry over nothing and everything, no one understands and the world, my world, is coming to an end!
There are so many things shifting and changing; physically, mentally, emotionally, socially. It can feel like life is out of control or is heading in that direction.
There are days when getting out of bed is a feat. I have a long list of tasks but feel like I physically cannot get going. Where’s the “ON” button?
Other days I am such an emotional wreck. It starts,……just a few tears at first,…..they’ll stop soon,……I have this under control,….but nooooooooo, here comes the hysteria. Most times accompanied by an uncontrollable tsunami of sobs and tears for absolutely no apparent reason and they can seem to be never ending. The minute you try to figure out why you are upset, or sad or crying it gets worse and you get to be completely irrational. Some days it can happen several different times, often with no warning. I am looking to having all these hormones balance out so I can get back to normal……whatever THAT is.
So how do YOU “Calm YOUR Crazy?” Do you have any special tools or techniques that help? At least a little bit?
What other “C” words can you come to mind?
Chaos. Confused. I have tried Dr Bach’s Flower Remedies which seem to help somewhat… An interesting theme, an important phase in a woman’s life that is often ignored or taken for granted.
YES Archana (lovely name) It IS often taken for granted. Its one of the reasons that I created the Menopause Fairy so it can be acknowledged and celebrated! I like your choices: chaos & confusion…..so true. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Hi – I can imagine it must be very difficult .. and there’s no way – but to see it through .. take care and all the best – Hilary
Hi Hilary. Yes seeing it through seems to be the only way. Its not all bad though. Thanks for the well wishes 🙂
Reading helps me get balanced after a bout of crazy haha. Usually the best tactic for me.
Good luck with the 2015 A to Z Challenge!

Thank you so much! Wishing you all the best as well. I like to read but my crazy has to come way down before I can open a book lol. Thanks for the post. Have a great day!
Minion Carrie dropping by to cheer you on! Keep up the excellent work! 😀 Enjoy your day off tomorrow and have a blessed Easter!
🙂 Thank you so much, you do the same!
Oh yes…the crazy…and I am only in perimenopause! To tame my hormonal beastie I like a few different tea blends. The first is rose petals and hibiscus flowers, and the other is golden assam with lemon verbena. Both have a very soothing effect for me.
Hi Tracy! I like your “hormonal beastie” comment lol! I’ll have to look into the golden assam. Do you recommend a specific place to get? I have recently (2 weeks) started to take FEMMENESSENCE, a natural Maca supplement and I have to say that it has really taken the edge off. I feel more relaxed. My hormonal beastie seems to be on a leash and I can set her free or tell her to relax and it works! It’s like taming a dragon 🙂
I think that what saved me going through menopause was running. I swear I was a nervous breakdown ready to happen … then I started running … not a small undertaking for someone who couldn’t run to the corner … but I did.
Quite frankly, I think it saved my sanity.
I’ve been running now off and on for almost 15 years. I can’t say I like running … but when I stop, I miss how it makes me feel so I always end up starting again.
Thanks Joanne. I understand the heading for a nervous breakdown feeling……think I may start walking again….I’ll start slooooooow. Thanks for a great idea! 🙂
