Around the time I should be having my period my perimenopausal symptoms are at their height, is this pretty typical? Also I have a history of depression, stress and anxiety and feel that this makes the situation worse. For a couple of days I can persuade myself that this Is just hormonal but some months the feelings drag on towards a second week and I start thinking it's my old mental health issues coming back. So currently my anxiety levels are high, my chest feels 'weird' - panicky I feel like I can't cope and I'm near to tears on a regular basis. My sleep is also disturbed and I'm having hot flushes. I can't remember the last time I had a period, last time I got to 8 months and I had a period so had to start counting again. Once I'm in to the menopause will it be better or worse? I guess the fluctuation in hormone levels should even out but sometimes I worry which is the real me!
