You know people say that when you get older, you don't care about what people think? Well I feel like the opposite is happening to me.

I'm 40 and irritable. I let tiny things get to me. Friends and family who I love seem wind me up by saying the wrong thing. I feel Prickly and defensive all the time. I seem to have lost my sense of humour and instead of taking a joke I stew on stuff. I read into stuff things which probably aren't there. This isn't me, I used to be self deprecating and funny if I say so myself.

Is this a peri syndrome? I can't stand it and i feel like I'm not myself at all.

Yes quite possibly, sounds like anxiety.

Any advice on what to do about it?
