I’m 48 and have not had a period for 6 months now and have light hot flashes. I just don’t feel anything emotionally. I feel neither happy nor sad most of the time. I feel like a alien in my own body. Is this a normal feeling? It’s hard to feel emotionally intimate with my spouse. Is there a happy juice I can take (Ha!)

Feeling like an alien in your own body might actually be a sign of depression — or the very least having emotions that are different than your usual outlook. Here’s a good article on menopause and depression, makes the point that the same hormonal imbalances that result from menopause also trigger depression. The key to feeling good is to hormonal balance… Link: Depression and sadness in menopause and perimenopause
Honey talk to your doctor. Menopause is the worst time! I am still fighting it and hate it. You are emotional and the hot flashes will get worse and you burn from the inside out. You can be sweating one minute and freezing the next. Your bones will suffer from this too so start taking a double dose of Calcium Caltrate 600 with vitamin D. The vitamin D is in it. You need that.
yes there is life after menopause. But if you should talk to your doctor and see about medication. You can take it for five years…and when you go off of it it should be better. Mine is lingering….probably because of the cancer and forced menopause. It wasn’t a gradual thing. I have been off my medication for menopause for a year and half and other than hot flashes and not being able to sleep well because of it…I am much better than when it started 10 years ago.
There are things you can do …talk to your doctor. I am taking the Estrovan Extras Strength.. four of them a day..not two..and it really helps…believe me. I take two in the morning and two at night and I can sleep better that way.
It is difficult to feel intimate…that is why you need to talk to your doctor and tell him that. You do not have to suffer through this….so talk to him…
Hormone replacement therapy hon and you’ll soon be your horny self again.
