Feeling grotty. Period expected.

[HappyDaysAreAhead]

Sorry if this reads as though I'm feeling sorry for myself. I am. I don't have anyone I can talk to about these things.

Late 40s. Perimenopausal. Periods have shortened in length. Lots of perimenopause symptoms.

I feel like it's the joy that keeps on giving. I've lost the zest.

For the 2 weeks prior to a period I have so many symptoms. Somewhat different symptoms each cycle.

This time round it's itchiness, nausea only at nighttime (could this be panic?) and 1 burning hot boob!

Is this the way it goes?

Still feeling it. It's getting me down and I feel run down due to lack of sleep due to insomnia and worry.

Is it normal to feel so grotty before a period in perimenopause?
