Perimenopause at 38?!

[Evie3821]

Hi all

Just looking for some advice really, for the last year or so I've felt like something has changed in me.. I just feel flat. My confidence is zero, I have no interest in arranging anything socially. I am fine when with my kids, taking them out places at weekends etc but just no interest in arranging anything for just me. I feel I've nothing interesting to say or contribute.. I don't think I'm actually depressed but I do suffer from social anxiety and low self confidence.
Could this be perimenopause or just a midlife crisis?! I wondered if my pill could be the cause so came off it 5 months ago but I feel no different and last 2 months I actually feel worse as pms is back.
Not sure what I'm asking but be good to know I'm not alone in feeling this way in late 30s. I also wondered about peri menopause as my hair has also thinned to the point I can no longer wear it down.

Thanks

I'm feeling a bit like you OP. I'm 44. Definitely thinking it's perimenopause. It does not sound fun!!

Wow I could have literally written this post. I’m 38 and have felt like this for a while. My anxiety was so bad I started Sertraline 4 months ago which had helped a bit but I still continue to have the flat, don’t want to do anything, wish I could stay at home all the time feeling! I had bloods etc taken yesterday but didn’t even think about perimenopause! If these bloods come back fine then I’m definitely going to ask about this as my mum and gran both when through the menopause in their late 30s (I just asked her). My cycle was only 19 days this month, having gone down from 26 days this time last year! The last few months it’s been 22/23 days!
