I was lying in bed this morning thinking about life in general (as you do) and I realised that I have never felt truly happy since the menopause. I am aware that there is so much sadness and suffering in the World and that I have a good life in comparison - 2 lovely daughters, 4 gorgeous grandchildren and yet! It's as though a portion of happiness has been removed, almost as though my joy of life has lost the top layer?? I am nearly 61 and can say that I haven't felt that true, joyous happiness since my mid 50's, which was when I started the menopause as well as becoming Hypothyroid and anemic. I have both those things under control so why am I not fully joyful?? I am not depressed, reasonably healthy but I just don't seem able to feel complete contentment/happiness/joy. I am aware that pre the menopause I had more feelings, it is as though I have been de-sensitised to life? So, is it just me or do others suffer from this - any ideas how to get my mojo back?? I have thought about taking up running - I used to walk 5 miles every morning before breakfast but that has fallen by the wayside (there is always an ache somewhere to give me an excuse not to) - is it that simple though, can exercise make that much difference?? I take supplements, tried |HRT which didn't help - surely the rest of my life won't be this continual 90%?
