And I wonder if I could be on perimenopausal ? I sweat a lot even when not moving but not at night. Spotting, dried vag, low libido, but the worst is the mood swings and that despite taking anti-depressants, betablocker, the pill so I dont get my period and dont get awful pmt, I eat healthily and I have stopped drinking alcohol to try to stop triggering anxiety. Yesterday was really bad, I spent pretty much all day in tears with suicidal thoughts…saw my therapist yesterday and I spent the whole hour crying! I meditate a lot too! Could it be it ? I’m 43. Thank you

Anxiety, sweating & the mood swings that I was suffering from age 41 we’re awful. I wish I had started HRT earlier. I actually thought I was losing my mind, I would be a complete wailing banshee at the tiniest thing. I even had CBT for my anxiety.

My moods stabilised really quickly & my anxiety improved enormously on HRT.

I should have gone to the Dr earlier, I only started HRT after having a hysterectomy age 46.
