hi
i had never thought that i could be perimenopause as i still have regular periods but after reading different post on here im beginning to wonder.
my periods are heavier and have more clots than they used to be, i have more pmt and mood swings than i used too. i often feel hot at night but not night sweats or hot flushes. im a bit forgetful and the kids often tell me that they told me something and i will argue that they didnt but now im beginning to wonder if they did and i forgot.
i had a horrible anxiety attack last Sept and but i managed to get thru it. i now find when my period is due i feel anxious.
im due my smear test now and have an app for tomorrow but im also due on my period any time now, but my anxiety has gone thru the roof and im so scared about the smear and scared there is something wrong. up until 10 days ago i wasnt worried but now im a wreck.
im 45 nearly 46
does this sound like perimenopause?
do others get anxiety / health anxiety with it?
is this normal?
im finding it hard to think straight at the min so looking for any advice or reassurance that this is normal?
thanks
kellie
