OMG! my hair is thinning, and im only 13 years old! im a girl btw. my worst fear is to go bald, like im afraid ill have no eye brows or eye lashes or going bald! my dad is bald, cuz he had hair loss, and my mom hair some hair loss on her crown. But, i heard hair loss starts after menopause. my mom said its just the cycle of my hair, and im stressed out which adds to my hair loss. i read that eating stuff with more zinc prevents hair loss, like meat or seafood. I haven’t had my period for about 2 months, maybe thats a reason? I usually wear my hair down, then after school i put it into a bun. my mom says i brush my hair too hard, so im trying to stop brushing it too hard.
what should i do? im scared.
please help me, im so scared.

Menopause has been called the change for decades, women don’t discuss it & so when IT happens it’s crippling, to say the least!

My mother SUFFERED from it tremendously & always stated: "It’s just a CHANGE all women must go through!"

Change is an understatement. From what I’ve read & seen first hand, below are SOME of the menopausal symptoms:

PMS, stress, depression/anxiety, panic attacks, extremely moody, rage, body odor, negative thoughts, irrational thoughts, suicidal thoughts, lack of sexual desire, vaginal dryness, itching, hair loss/balding, halitosis, isolation, fear… etc are SOME of the DEVASTATING symptoms of menopause, why must women experience these relentless symptoms?

I’m 31. Three years ago I would have really bad days of complete emotional chaos-not just sadness but anger, fear, and any other negative one! Anyway, last year due to it causing relationship problems I began keeping track of these few black days and found that they are always two weeks in between my menstrual cycle *two wk before, two wk after*. From the research I’ve done this is the approximate time of ovulation.?? I’m more into natural remedies and am hoping to find something to help keep me balanced through this time. I would assume it’s hormonal? Is this a symptom of early menopause or just some major pms??

I'm 40 years old.
Hot flashes, mood swings, anxiety/fear, heart palpitations, nervousness, insomnia, digestive problems, heavy periods with clotting, hair loss, getting 1 giant pimple the size of a dime each month, dry skin, and generally feeling frustrated and hopeless? Tell me I'm not losing my mind… so I can tell my husband his wife is not going insane.
I just started hormone replacement and I was hoping I'd feel better quicker. How long do you suppose this will last? It probably started much earlier, but since I was on anti-depressants for so long, I didn't feel the effects of most of these symptoms. Thanks
