What do I need?

Hi, I've got an appointment with my GP but I've no idea what I should be asking her for. I just want to stop feeling like I'm absolutely insane and half-dead.

My symptoms are:

Physical - periods every two weeks, exhaustion, fatigue, hunger, carb cravings, hot flashes, night sweats, itchy skin, itchy vulva, vaginal dryness, insomnia, weight gain

Cognitive - forgetfulness, scattered, can't focus or concentrate. I have adhd and it's like all my adhd traits powered up to 11.

Emotional - mood swings, extreme sadness, irritability, impatience, lack of motivation, constant pmt

I know there are others ( see "forgetfulness") but anyway, I'm sure I can't go on like this! Any thoughts on what I should be asking the GP to prescribe/refer?
