I've always been very upbeat, happy, optimistic and enjoyed good health & a strong relationship with DH and our wider family. Honestly life has been good to me and I'm very lucky.
But in this past year I feel like a different person. I've stopped exercising and eating shit (so put on weight and don't like the way I look) but the main problem is feeling like a dark cloud is constantly hanging over me. Nothing significant has happened in my life just a few tricky things - awful teenager, parents not too well, finances tight - but none of those life altering.
Is this peri-menopause (no other physical changes although periods slightly heavier) or is this just my charmed life catching up with me? And more importantly how do I snap myself out of it and get my life back on track before it starts impacting my work and family life. I keep telling myself to start exercising the better et cetera but I last about a day before going back to where I was!
Help!
