Hi, I’ve been really struggling with my mental health (anxiety, depression, mood swings etc) for months - I have a long term mental health condition for which I take medication.
Now I’m having physical signs of Perimenopause - periods getting closer together, extremely heavy (to the point of making me anaemia)
Saw my GP last week and she was brilliant and has started me on HRT to see if this helps with my mental health etc.
Ive been given progesterone tablets and oestrogel cream and due to start tomorrow.
I’m now getting anxious about starting taking them incase they make my periods worse/heavier or any other issues.
Did others feel anxious about taking HRT - or am I overthinking due to my anxiety (which the HRT will hopefully help!!?)
Thanks
