Unusual outcomes of peri and menopause?

I've been peri since I turned 40. I was 44 last week.
Since then, but esp in the last year or so I've felt no joy in or need to cook for my kids and Dh.
I am a decent cook...can bake too.
But now...It wouldn't bother me if I never cooked a meal again!
Is it just me?
Will it change?
Obv I do feed my family :) but I get no pleasure from it. Its a chore and one I'm increasingly feeling resentful of :(
Anyone else?....

Same here super
Both my mum and sister (and most aunts and cousins!) had hysterectomies by the time three were 40
I tick pretty much every box for peri
Inc heart issues and itching and zero libido
It sucks

The start of a cycle is day 1- that is the first day you bleed.

Ah right so that's good timing then! Smile
