To think this is the worst age Ive been

Late 40's

For a few years now, I've just not felt the same, regularly feel a strange mix of being a bit down and tired, but also completely bored and bored of everything.
Want to change career but likely too late and also cba

God, it's so eurgh

Anyone else have/had this?

I hope you’re prepared for a shedload of replies telling you (rightly or wrongly) that you’re in perimenopause.

It’s not too late. My best mates on my university degree are both in their 50s.

Yes I must be, it's so crap

Any other symptoms OP? Mine was mainly low mood but I also suffered joint pain and insomnia. Maybe it’s time for HRT?

Same, bored senseless at work but am main breadwinner so nothing I can do there.

I do aqua aerobics, swim once a week and walk a lot which helps but everything seems a bit meh

I’ve waited a long time to be bored, so I’m actually focusing on enjoying the peace and freedom that comes with it. Although I do always feel tired as my sleep is all over the place but I do still have 6.30am daily wake ups to get teenagers off to school, so this explains it. Late 40s too.

It most likely is perimenopause - unfortunately you don't always recognise the signs yourself, I didn't.
Speak to your GP - HRT may transform you. I wish I had.
You've plenty of years left in you yet!

Could have written this myself. I am late 40's. Likely perimenopause but it's crap.
