Looking for insight

I am so frustrated. 40 year old female… I’m currently on:
200mg progesterone (taken orally at bedtime)
.5 estrogen patch
Testosterone cream
Estrogen cream
Vyvanse 30mg

I take all the supplements too, vitamin d, magnesium, omega, coq10, etc.

Almost 2 years ago I had a horrible sciatic attack and have been struggling since.
I had my yearly recently and mentioned how I’m spotting before and after my period so my dr ordered an ultrasound.
At the ultrasound they found fibroids, a polyp and an ovarian cyst.

From what I can tell this could explain the sciatic pain… I’m waiting on the surgical team to let me know my options.

So on top of all that, I’m angry, overwhelmed, and want to just run away by about 5pm everyday- meaning my family gets the worst version of me… also, my family is allllll men and mini men. I don’t want them growing up and remembering their mom as an exhausted snappy witch.

And my sleep is horrible. I fall asleep easily but I am so restless and hardly get any deep or REM sleep.

There was about a year after started HRT and Vyvanse where I truly felt like I had my life back, and now I’m back to clawing my way through everyday.

Please tell me any ideas/options/experience you have! I would hang upside down and eat 10 limes if it would help.
