Losing the plot

Not sure whether to post this here or in MH area.

I feel like I'm losing the plot. It's like a fog has come down I've no motivation and I have fear/panic like you wouldn't believe. Yet i don't feel 'sad' like depressed.

I've had these bouts for the last 5 years or so but this is a bad one. They usually last a couple of weeks. My GP has put me on sertraline years ago and if I go back they just want to hike the dose.

I wondered if this could have anything to do with peri as I'm 46 and my cycles have changed from regular to either very close together or 38+days long with short bleeding. No other real symptoms though.

I really feel like I'm losing my grip as covid aside life is good and I have nothing to be down or fearful about.

Have you considered asking for HRT? Is this something you want to consider?

Very common symptoms during peri and medical advice is HRT for low mood not anti ds.
