Hello all! I am new and hoping to reach out to you lovely humans please!
I am 41 and beleive I am Peri Menopausal. My periods have been getting gradually very light (except for a heavy day 1) and cycles are erratic, between 18-32 days) for the last 10 months, always been 24 days on the nose since I was aged 11.
Always had to live with minor social
Anxiety but I now have whole host of new things which is starting to affect my mental health to the point I am concerned. I have a lovely husband and two young children and nothing has changed in my personal life to warrant the changes.
Main things are:
Anxiety (don’t even know why I am, just that feeling)
Few days, sometimes weeks where I am depressed and tearful
Moments of feeling rage
Obsessive thoughts
Dizziness occasionally
Palpitations or sweats at night (not all the time but vary)
Can’t get to sleep
Inability to focus
Forgetfulness (get lost when driving familiar routes, losing items in house
Forget words or what I was saying
Feel like I am going mad! I am generally a very positive person and it’s now affecting my relationship and my 6 year old is noticing.
Could hrt help? Would be great for honest opinions please. Thank you x x x x
