Perimenopause mood changes, or something else?

I'll be 45 end of November. The last couple of months I've just not been able to cope and it's just come out of nowhere. I had my DC late and I'm suddenly completely overwhelmed by them. I'm low and irritable, I'm constantly worried about money (we are not wealthy but we manage, have a home albeit an older one in need of repairs), I feel inadquate at work. I feel like the DC would be better off without me and I don't deserve DH. My libido is zero.

I had some depression as a teen but nothing like this. Does this sound like perimenopausal mood changes? Or something else going on? It's really come quite from nowhere and I'm baffled (and feeling absolutely rubbish.)

Yes it's most likely peri.
