Anyone had this? Weird virus or stress?

Has anyone been feeling like this lately. Can’t put my finger on why? In my 40s and relatively healthy.

I feel like I am living in a haze. My body doesn't feel mine. Constant brain fog and can’t concentrate. I feel hormonal all the time and want to cry. Feel quiet and want to avoid crowded places. Been like this for a week. Feels like I do the day before my period, which I can manage as there is an explanation and coped like this for 30 years. My period is due, but never felt like this for that long. My period is late by a few days, but had the covid booster which previously messed up my cycle. Last cycle was lighter but lasted longer.

But I can snap myself out if it and put on a mask if needed. People round me have noticed I am not myself. I am sleeping ok.

i do have a constant cold at the moment and overly tired. I have diabetes and my sugars are high, but manageable. I am stressed at work, but nothing I haven’t coped with before. I don’t think I am depressed or have anxiety. It’s just constant brain fog.

what is this? not too sure if I have a weird virus. I need to shake it off as I have lots of lovely things planned. Any advice or anyone had similar?

Sorry, not an answer to your question, but I have diabetes and my sugars are high, but manageable

Please, please show more discipline. I live in a country that is one of the top countries for coca cola consumption and consequently one of the worst countries for diabetes. If you don't control your diet, you can go blind, get gangrene or get kidney disease. If you do control your diet there is no reason why you shouldn't live well until you are 90.

Ask for blood tests at GP. Ask for
Ferritin
B12 and folate
Thyroid
Vit D

After tests,even if B12 comes back as 'normal' still try taking over the counter B12 as the tests are really inaccurate. Basically what I was told was that if it says B12 is low, it is but if it says is normal might still be low.

I felt like this for 3 years before my periods went haywire. Def sounds like peri I started at 42, now 48 and all finished.
