Feeling emotionally unstable like a teen

2 replies

I'm 43 and have been having peri symptoms for about a year but lately I seem to have regressed to being a teen 🤦‍♀️ I have horrible acne again, am watching tv and feeling overly invested and dramatic about the characters and now even when ovulating (or not ovulating, as the case may be) I'm all over the place emotionally and unable to stabilise my mood.

Anyone else feeling like this? Just hoping I'm not going mad!

Yup. I was exactly like that at 43. All over the place. HRT sorted me out and quite possibly saved my marriage.

“I feel like me when I was 13” are the exact words I used when listing my symptoms to my GP and was the ticket to getting HRT which definitely helped hugely. Not 100% but a lot. Are you able to take HRT?
