PERIMENOPAUSE For MEN 

Thank God for the men that want to understand.

Fantastic informative video. I just send this to my Dad and my 22 year old daughter, who I have lashed out at twice this month. The guilt eats me alive. I used to be a really caring and loving Mommy. Hard to be good at anything when you feel like crap...sick in the head. Suicidal. So scary. 51 now. No period for 8 months. It will be one year on Mothers day. I use to have such a zest for life. Im hopeful it will all balance out once Mothers day roles around and I celebrate one year period free. I lost my mind. I was a lunatic. Depressed. I slept for 2 depressing years. Thankfully some man has been saved because im single, lol. Oh my sweet daughter though. She will need some therapy. God, please forgive me. It wasnt me. Was it? Like you, I thought....oh menopause can't be that bad. Its BAD. God bless us all...men and women....Kings and Queens...we are in this together. Much love.

Amazing video, best one I've seen for a while. Forwarded to the husband ❤ thank you for sharing what I could not articulate x

Preach, sister.

It’s intolerable at times and I need to be close to her but I am being pushed further away

My kid's mother is going through this. She's only 35. She's insufferable. We went from sleeping together to me, sleeping on the couch, to eventually moving out altogether. I've tried very hard not to take it personally, but I can't when everything seems like a personal attack on my character. Small disagreements turn into hugely drawn-out arguments that last days and even weeks. I feel like all she wants me to do is shut up and deal with it because she "has to." Anytime I react to her disrespect, it becomes about my reaction more so than what led to that reaction in the first place. I'm constantly being called a narcissist, mostly because I don't allow her to intimidate. I'm at my wit's end, I don't know what else I can do besides leaving and staying away.

Been dating a woman 48yo the past month. Every night she would cry and think of her past. Keeps telling me don’t be with her I deserve better. I really love her and want to help her.

22 years married, I love my wife more today than ever. Any tips on how to be more compassionate to her during the perimenopausal times without coming off like a simp? I want to be there, want to understand but I feel like I can't make the right move

I just want to help , how do I do this ?

THEY ARE THAT WAY IN PMS YOUTH.

Yeah, sums up whats happening to my wife...she is 10y older, we are together 15y+ but the last years its just a different person, and its hell whats happening to me slowly ...

My wife of 30 years (she's 51). Is in menopause. She's been in it for 5 years now. She does not act crazy. She has an amazing memory. She's thoughtful and kind. Her only symptoms are loss of intimacy and hot flashes. What is all this talk about becoming a crazy person? Are we/ or she, yet to experience this?

Try intermitent fasting ....but only in the first part of the cycle ..... I have learned a lot from Dr.Mindy Pertz ....search for her on RU-vid .... She is talking about this intermitent fasting but adapted to us women......and also for perimenopausal and menopausal women..... ❤

Me too ....joints pain..... Actually ...most of the symptoms ......ufff

My girlfriend turned 52 this past August but when she turn 51 She told me that her periods were lighter and she skipped sometimes since then up until now I have noticed mood swings anxiety like crazy and I've had her tell me to get a room when I was coming to see her and I never got a room before I always came to her house never has been an issue She told me that she felt fear and pending doom. Anyways she's got all the symptoms listed everything from hot flashes anxiety dry mouth She has it all going on well when she turn 52 she came to see me and we were to not buying the house I said you know we're doing this right? She said yeah I know well she came to see me she was there for 2 weeks and then the third week I don't know what happened It's like a switch flipped but it wasn't a switch I noticed the mood changes I noticed vaginal dryness that I never really saw before and the anxiety I could see it in her She told me she wasn't quite ready I'm assuming she's talking about because of going through menopause does that sound about right we don't live together we're not married we live separately but she's been doing everything on her own no help from nobody it's always just been her with her two girls and so me trying to step in and let her know that I'm there to help her and I've got her back I feel like it's sort of taken away her independence and her mind. Not really but you know what I'm saying I think the perimenopause mood swings and anxiety and everything has escalated everything else but my ultimate question is before now she was doing sort of the same thing She would go for about 2 months without talking to me and then she'd reach back out to me and it was like clockwork I didn't know what was going on didn't know this time either until I had to actually sit down and do my research and put everything together but again my question is would you reach out to her or would just let her come back around? I did try to call twice I wasn't blocked just no answer so I left it at that

Sorry .....the doctor' s name is Mindy Pelz not Pertz.....😊

That's is crazy my wife has all those symptoms and she was driving me crazy😢

So if you tried everything explain to your partner to go to the doctor and she refuses to whats is the man to do or should do that's my question cuz I'm on my wits ends right now and I'm complating a separation or a divorce because I'm already putting up with this for 4 years and I'm tired of it. she only works 2 days and I work 7 days a week I'm 55 years old already have suffered too heart attacks and I'm at my wits ends. She is a nurse so I don't know what the problem is.
