Extremely paranoid

Hi everyone.
I've just had a perimenopause diagnosis after being dismissed for ages by my gp as I'm early 40s and apparently too young. I've been prescribed HRT but haven't been able to start taking it yet as I'm still breastfeeding and I need to stop that first. I am unbelievably paranoid at the moment and feel like everything I do and say is wrong and everyone hates me. I'm sitting here crying now about this. Is this part of peri? Did anyone else have similar? I'm absolutely exhausted because I don't sleep, the insomnia has been an issue for about 2 years now and I think I might be at the end of what I can take on that!

I experienced the same, I have HRT but also take a lie dose of sertraline and find them helpful together.

Yes. I felt this way too. It was all part of a lovely bundle of emotional/mental symptoms. Anxiety/paranoia/panic/low mood/low self-esteem/despair.
Much better now on HRT.
Good luck.
