Hello, I was diagnosed peri menopausal earlier this year. Said I didn’t feel like I needed hrt but now waiting for my appointment to see the GP. Stopped taking sertraline after a taper, know what I’m doing so not stopped on a whim but had heart palpitations and felt like I didn’t need them.
Been having brain fog and memory issues. This cycle things have ramped up mentally. Just before my period I was feeling short tempered and like I had little patience for my family and wanted to be left alone. Although I obviously love them. Day 2 of my period something was said at work and it sent me into a massive spiral of anxiety. Went back on the sertraline and ashwaghanda but only 2 days ago. The anxiety has tapered but still there a bit. I can’t tell what’s a real worry. I feel absolutely exhausted but otherwise ok but yesterday I was so confused and messed up at work. I’m actually quite scared. I had a sense this would happen after I had severe anxiety when I was pregnant. Sorry for the ramble. I’m just looking for some hope.
