Help - I am going mad!

[Jjcrackers]

I'm definitely in the throws of perimenopause and was planning to get HRT and then lockdown started...

My head is all over the place. On top of the general anxiety of corona, I have on-going paranoia about everything I say, do, even think...I feel I have lost a sense of myself. Every time I send a WhatsApp on a group chat, I get the fear and wish I hadn't sent it, every conversation I have with my DH I feel like I sound like a horrid, whiney witch, every piece of work I send it I have sleepless nights about it not being good enough.

I'm snappy with DS and continually feel like I am suppressing the rage with a fake smile on my face, when all I want to do is scream/shout/cry.

I never used to be like this!

Has anyone got any tips on supplements to help. Or mind tricks to help me gain perspective and get my head in a better place?

You could still get HRT. Phone the DR for a telephone consultation to discuss. They do generally like a BP reading so if you have a monitor or have had a recent health check at work or something it would be useful.

I was very similar prior to my HRT. Paranoid about everything I did, many sleepless nights. I am less of a ranty, hysterical witch since I was put on HRT

This was an eye opener for me with regard to my hormones and anxiety...

On top of being perimenopausal, the fight/flight chronic stress thing makes everything HORRIBLE.

Exercise and really cutting sugar helped me. And Oestrogel. Def get on to your GP.
