Anyone Else Getting Butt-ugly During Menopause?

Use Marijuana oil for the Vaginal dryness.
It is amazing and gives you more intense organs.

Agreed- ageing totally ruined my life. It made me so ugly that I got really depressed. Social life- gone. Hobbies- gone. Career prospects and ability to do job properly- gone. I dreaded all the things I used to love-every holiday, party, day and night out was ruined and was like torture. I lost interest in everything because every day ageing was there like a spiteful bully, ensuring that every day was ruined. If health professionals think that this is just a superficial problem then they really are ignorant. I have had to learn face exercises which have helped thank God!

Why is it that the answer is always to just accept it?! If you google 'I hate ageing' all you ever find are articles on how to accept ageing or how wonderful and liberating it is and that you are a selfish person if you think otherwise. No one ever admits that they hate it or offers up any useful advice on anti ageing. Society judges women for not being beautiful, then judges them for trying to change that. If a woman complains about losing her looks she is called shallow and vain, and yet if she somehow manages to not age she is praised for looking young. I like Peta on Facearobics Youtube channel-she just says it like it is, how she hated looking old and how it scared her. She is over 50 and is beautiful because of her face exercise regime. If you hate aging you are better off just googling 'anti aging' or 'non surgical facelift.' That at least will give you loads of advice that is actually helpful and non judgmental.
A few other things you could try that wont break the bank are Cleo Q and Rio 60 second facelift.

I hate it how it's acceptable to be depressed about every single other symptom of the menopause except this one. If you hate your life because of hot flashes or mood swings there is loads of sympathy, but God forbid that you should have a mental breakdown over wrinkles and sagging! If you say you hate your face you get told off for being 'unkind to yourself' and that you should 'celebrate your wrinkles as badges of honour.' BS! Why on earth would we want to celebrate ugly sagging jowls and bulging eyebags and the total destruction of our lives, mental health and self esteem?

Thank God I googled and found this thread. I’m 48 and feel crazy and at times “butt-ugly”. I go from one extreme to the other emotionally. Happy, sad, chill, irate. I feel insane. Last week I had a legitimate tantrum and ran out of a restaurant like a nut case? SMH. Anxiety ALL THE TIME.

I’m physically active but still get down in my looks. The hair is thinner. Too bad the stomach isn’t. I’ve been doing Noom and it’s helping with my mind and body. I’ve lost a couple of stubborn pounds. That’s momentous because the weight don’t budge, but I’m exhausted. Skin loose with the texture of a Pringle potato chip. Three WRF lines between my brows. A freaking mustache. I SHAVE. My vagina’s dryer than the Sahara. No sex drive. My husband is so kind and supportive, always cheering me on mentally and physically — and I have been meaner than hell to him. Then I feel shame and guilt. I just want to feel relaxed and more like myself. I plan to add meditation to the list. I’ve been on Zoloft for years, it’s no match for this.

As well as dieting and cardio you also need to do weight training to build muscle tone. The reason people get middle aged spread is because of loss of muscle mass-they sag and look less firm but also burn less calories- but if you tone them you can keep your figure more easily.

I absolutely am planning on doing just that. Right now I’m looking at getting a nose job and facelift. I refuse to look like this any more!

I feel the same way. I can’t even look at myself in a mirror. I look more like an old man than any form of woman. I’m angry at God for this crappy life.

I agree-if you dare say anything negative about getting old on Quora you get shouted down for being vain, selfish and shallow. Yet I bet these people have made negative comments about someones age at some point in their lives.

I dont even feel like a person when my face sags and turns me from a beautiful young girl into an ugly old hag fit for a fairytale. Thankfully Im doing face yoga which has given my face, confidence and will to live back. However, I do love this forum where we can be honest about how we really feel instead of having to pretend its wonderful or having people tell us off for 'being unkind to ourselves.' I could tell myself Im beautiful till Im blue in the face but that wont change the glazed stares or downright rude treatment I get from men which proves that Im anything BUT beautiful. But since getting the hang of face yoga Ive suddenly had men hitting on me again. And YES, Im not ashamed to say it is a GREAT feeling! It makes me feel better about myself and I dont care what all the judgmental naysayers say about it, it's my life and I have the right to feel good about myself, however I go about it.

Thank you for this… everyone else is being so negative, and even though my body is changing, I am so grateful to be alive and healthy. Growing old is a privilege not everyone gets to experience.
