Hi. I'm from Australia and I have menopausal insomnia. I've tried all sorts of HRT treatments and they work for a little while, but eventually stop working and my insomnia returns. I have good days and bad days. I'm lucky that today is a good day because I did manage to have a good night's sleep last night, but tonight could be an entirely different matter.
That's how my life goes I'm afraid, I have to seize the good days and get all the things done that I have to do, because a string of bad days could come along and I will just feel like curling up in a ball and hoping that the world goes away. I'm sure all of you can relate to those feelings.
Anyway, I'm currently single, and I'm the mother to two cats. Generally I prefer animals to people, because you can rely on animals, but I'm so sure about people. Since my menopausal probems started I have learned who my true friends are, and frankly I've realised that I don't have that many of them. Basically the friends who can't relate to what I'm going through don't bother about me much because I'm a drag to be around I suppose. However, I am lucky that I do have a few good friends who understand my problems and support me. A lot people don't even have that.

Welcome to the community, Robskie!
Quite a few of our ladies have suffered the same, so I'm sure you'll fit right in and maybe find some tips and advice that helped the others!
I'm the same, I prefer animals to people. I'm a vegetarian, a huge animal lover (and no, not in the way you're thinking Martin !!), I've got a Jack Russell and two cats, 3 rats and soon I'll have a ferret joining my little happy pack!
Hi Martin and Tommy
Thanks for the welcome. Animals are great aren't they? You never have to wonder if they have any ulterior motives. They just love you because you are you….lol…

I am not sure if that applies to cats – they definitely have ulterior motives!!! I think ours chose us, rather than the other way around!
