Is anyone struggling with emotional issues?

Thank you all for your advice. This day was a particularly bad one for me. I've been dealing with this for a year and a half. I've had my ups and downs. This day, I was feeling very alone and dealing with some family issues that are intensifying my emotional state. Thank you for responding.

Yes, I plan on implementing a new routine for myself that includes yoga, lifting weights, cardo and meditation in the coming weeks. Also trying to focus on my diet. Luckily, I work at an elementary school and have some time and a quiet place where I can try to focus on myself. I've learned that menopause (both with and without breast cancer) has been very difficult on the women in my family. At least it's a relief to know I'm not crazy...or alone.

Thank you again. I appreciate you all.

I also work at an elementary school. 4th grade teacher. The stress of the state of education today doesn't help us, does it? I'm sorry you are struggling with all of this. It sucks. I am 2.5 years remission and I've been taking Zoloft, 75 mg, for 1.5 years. It's a great drug. I don't know how I would be without it. It's great that you have this summer to focus on yourself. Reiki massage and Acu helped relax me, and 20mg of Melatonin every night helped me fall asleep when depressing thoughts were racing through my mind. Yoga is awesome, good idea. Looooong walks are also great. I have been taking the AI Letrozole for 2 years. Other than joint/bone pain, it works for me, and I take it right before I go to sleep. I hope you know that you are not alone.
