Hi all
So looking forward to chatting all things perimenopause as I constantly think I’m going insane!!!!!
I live in Scotland and I’m 46 and the mum of a 6 year old. I’ve found peri quite hard to accept as my kid is so wee- weird to get my head around being that age! Lol!
Thanks for the accepting me on here.

Hi TambourineQueen.

I often think how did I get to this age. 57! 🙀 😂
Where did all those years go. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Time waits for no one. 😏
Anyway, someone’s always on to offer help, just ask away.

Aww don't put yourself down granny  runs quickly in opposite direction

   I'll never be a Granny  .  'auntie' as my nephew said last week, made me feel even older.  Had he been closer I would have clipped his ear.

Wait until you're Great Aunt CLKD

Doesn't look like it, both nephews can hardly put food on the table due to bad degree choices which haven't given them regular incomes.


 A 6 year old with be active as well as noisy - add peri symptoms into the mix and : nope you aren't going insane!  It's Life.  With extras 

I assume that the child is in School?

Welcome, @TambourineQueen - I know how you feel, I'm also 46 with a v young child. I've been in peri for five years that I know of - it took me a long time to realise what was going on as I thought the hot sweats were a result of running around playing with a hyperactive toddler! I'd not long finished breastfeeding when it all started - another hormone change that added to the confusion. I also found it very hard to accept as I'd never even heard of perimenopause at the time.
This forum is fantastic - people here are so helpful.
