Perimenopause, depression / anxiety or summer hols

[wombpaloumbpa]

Hi just wondered if anyone has any ideas what's actually wrong with me.

• I feel worried 24/7
• thoughts seem to always be negative and heavy
• got no energy really although I do get everything I need to done
• quick temper
• exhausted
• just so tense, aching neck muscles
• occasional insomnia
• not really taking care of myself

Is this the start of peri? Or a mental health problem or is this just Mum burn out? Kids 3 and 5. Back to school and preschool tmw.

What do I do? See GP? I'm 41.

Could be any of those. It's a tiring time when the children are that age and the summer hols can be so draining. Hopefully you will feel better once you have more time to yourself but see the doctor if you are worried?

Thanks. Yes I think I'll wait a few weeks after school is back and see how I feel then. Maybe things will have lifted a bit.
