Most days I wake up feeling anxious - butterflies in stomach, feeling of dread, nausea etc. It usually improves as the day goes on, and I rarelyfeel anxious in the evenings. I also have days when I feel sad, flat, unmotivated etc. But my appetite is generally fine (except when I'm really anxious), I sleep OK, I don't feel worthless -and it never lasts more than a couple of days -three at the most, so I don't think I'd be diagnosed as depressed.
anyone else suffer from intermittent symptoms like this? I'm 50 btw, and in perimenopause, which obviously doesn't help! But I've had these symptoms, on and off, for the last 5 years and I'm so fed up with feeling as if I'm on a roller coaster.
