Hello everyone, I'm new here and just need people to talk to really.
I had a very stressful year last year and I feel like I've been under a black cloud for over 12 months now.
I'm turning 41 in March and just feel like crying all the time, over everything. I'm hyper-sensitive to sadness or criticism. Tired all the time, can't sleep at all or I'll sleep too much. I've no friends really and spend all my time with either my partner (together 4 years ish) or my 14 year old daughter.
I've lost interest in literally everything I used to enjoy. Even when we went abroad last summer I couldn't relax and was super tense and emotional.
My PMS is getting worse to the point where in day 2 or 3 of my last period I had a massive panic attack.
I just don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know myself any more. Has anyone else experienced this in their early 40s?
Sorry to go on x

Sorry you're going through this, OP. You may have more luck on the Menopause boards, there's a similar thread currently there:
