Dread

The feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach feels like it’s going to swallow me whole.

The world seems terrifying and dark. I worry so much for my kids.

Im fairly sure I’m in Peri menopause and this dread is hormone related. I’m only 37 though.

I just feel like I can’t smile.

Going to have some blood tests soon to see if that highlights anything.

Anyone experience this?
I really don’t want to start any medication or anything, but the feeling is quite persistent for a couple months now.

I'm similar and riddled with anxiety/panic attacks. I wondered if it was hormone related but I'm 37 as well 🫤
