WIBU to contact this interviewer?

[Ohthisisimpossible]

I had an interview (Zoom, 8pm) to join a professional committee last night, a voluntary role but one that’s quite important for my career. I’ve noticed that my menopause brain fog has been bad this week and I’ve struggled in meetings to articulate myself. Last night interview was a shit show, I stumbled and blustered and really did not perform as I ordinarily would.
Would it be ridiculous to email the interviewer, thank them for their time and apologise for my incoherence, mentioning that I am struggling with the fucking menopause?

I mentioned the time of the interview as it was after a full day at work, usual chaotic kid stuff and a therapy session so my brain function was not at its peak!

Have you even heard whether or not you've got the position?!

Either way, though, don't email the interviewer.

If you've heard you didn't get the position, then you gain literally nothing from contacting the interviewer. Think about it - they would have interviewed lots of people for the role, some of them good and some of them bad. They can only pick one person. It doesn't really matter to them why you didn't give a great interview. The only appropriate follow-up after you've been turned down for a position is to ask if they would mind giving you some feedback on why you didn't get the role so you can learn from it.

If you haven't heard anything at all yet, then it would potentially be detrimental to contact the interviewer. For all you know, they might be considering appointing you, and you'll look really needy and unconfident if you then contact them to say you're sorry you gave a shit interview. Alternatively, if you start telling them that you under-performed because you're menopausal, it will look like you're making excuses and trying to guilt them into giving you the role. Or, if you were still in the running for the role, then telling them you've got brain fog and struggle to articulate your thoughts at the moment is probably not going to help your chances.

I also think that discussing your personal health with someone who simply interviewed you for a position is probably oversharing a bit. I think if I'd interviewed someone and they felt the need to contact me afterwards to tell me about their menopause (or their PMT, or their irritable bowel, or their hay fever or their OCD or any other health complaint), I would think they were being a bit odd.
