Hi all,
I have been reading through the site and think you all sound so lovely and supportive
I am 27 and have had night sweats almost every night for the past year, hot flushes for the past few months, anxiety, depression, tiredness and just down right feeling like I am definitely not in my twenties
I have not ever thought to look up the reasons for my symptoms, my husband and I have joked in the past year that Im probably going through menopause (totally naive to the fact that this does actually happen). My friend told me yesterday that I should probably look into my symptoms (I know googling your symptoms is probably the worst thing to do!!) and now I have Im worrying myself and was hoping you guys might have some advice.
I don't feel like I should go to the GP im only in my twenties and they may not take me seriously as I have been struggling with mental health lately. But I am terrified that I may not be able to have a family, its the only thing I have always really wanted and just the thought of it not being possible making me panic.
My periods have been a bit up and down lately but have definatley not stopped. Therefore im not sure if I am just worrying myself for no reason?? Previously I have put the variation down to the fact that I have not been taking the pill for the past year due to other stressors in our lives making it irrelevant.
Im sorry about the long essay. Look forward to hearing your opinions. I think your all amazing at being there for eachother and you help so many people.
