Menopause and feeling argghhuuuaarrggg

[auntyjude]

Hi everyone, just come back here after a long while (my kid grew up). I’m in perimenopause and just feel like I have completely lost my footing in the world. Can’t focus, everything bores me, I can’t even get into a good book. Help! Send help! I feel like a hormonal teenager having an existential crisis!!! Xx

Minimal or no alcohol
Consider HRT

Thank you! I’m just feeling completely lost
