Evening ladies

Feeling so low at the moment. Think i am perimenopausal - first question, would a blood test or any other test confirm this?

The other thing is, this weekend i feel i have been so destructive to those around me. I have been constantly nit-picking at my son and have thrown a few snide comments in the direction of my partner and have been offish with my mum. Now, its Sunday evening and am sitting here with my mum and partner and how my behaviour has been has really upset me. I saw my son this evening and gave him a big hug but if they all mull over the comments ive been making the past couple of days it must be really upsetting to them all

I dont know who i am at the moment - so tired, lethargic all the time and going around in circles eating the wrong food, a trap i cannot seem to get myself out of. I feel so so sad, upset and alone x

Hello MazRia. Did you hear back from the Boots DR when you filled out the form you mentioned?

It sounds to me like you could benefit from trying HRT. In peri blood tests are unreliable as your hormones can fluctuate. You sound so sad and lost and I am so sorry to hear this. You are brave for reaching out and making this post.

I would say it would be helpful for you to make an appointment with your GP and tell them your symptoms. HRT is an individual choice but if a low mood is caused by anything hormonal then it would be very helpful.

This is probably hormonal, I would be OK for 3 weeks then something would trigger rages.  I would rant and rave; kick doors; throw things [though nothing of value]. 

Eating habits can impact on how our hormones behave.  Print off 'hints for husbands' and hand over.  Sit the family down and explain that you are in The Change: peri are the years leading up to the final period, years when we notice changes in mood, skin, hair condition etc.; if you need extra help around the house/garden, then delegate.
