I'm late 40's and on hrt.. still not balanced and the rage I feel towards my
Partner this evening is off the charts.
I know I'm being illogical but I get hurt over the smallest thing.
He is loving and I feel adored normally.
Anyone ?

Yes same situation. I have adhd which may not help. Have never known this feeling before. The rage feels like a volcano about to erupt.

Comfort knowing we are not alone.
I hate feeling like this.

This is exactly how I feel and I've only turned 40. I've been wondering if I'm too young? My mum had early menopause but I don't know how early

It's shit.
For example: I will be in my bfs town shopping tomorrow morning and have an appointment there. He is busy with a work thing. I got so cross( privately) that he won't come to meet me DESPITE me seeing him tomorrow evening when he travels to see me!
I know it's irrational and illogical but I feel so bloody hurt.
Ridiculous .

This is me. I could actually have written this

Would my gp think I was mad to suggest I could be peri at 40?

Absolutely not@essex956 . This is the likely beginning of the drop in hormones. This is when I actually saw my exh for what he was and couldn't tolerate anymore disrespect.
The fuzzy warm mass of oestrogen declined rapidly and with it , my tolerance for bullshit from him.
He fucked off and had an affair.
Biggest favour ever.
Get on hrt asap!

@essex956 A lot of people go on about perimenopause now, even some women in their 30s say it as an excuse for weight gain or explanation for depression.

As your mum had early menopause though (is she around so you could ask when?) maybe you are about to start menopause (there's no way for any of us as non-doctors to know.)

In a way it doesn't matter whether the person is in perimenopause/menopause or not. If someone has any mental/emotional or physical health problems, they need to see their doctor, follow their advice, and keep going back until they find something that works.

Are there any new stressful factors in your life?

I feel like this often (actually just had a clash with DH about his comment re DD’s eye). Even if I have a point it’s difficult to address as I’m never slightly annoyed or disagree, I’m moving to full rage straight away.
I’m peri menopause close to menopause, don’t take anything yet. Emotions are very high in our house not only rage but anxiety too.

I actually posted on here a couple of weeks ago under a different name as I was having constant rage and losing my temper with DC for slightest reason, and I said it felt like constant hormonal mood swings but never ending.

I have a mirena coil so wondered if it was related to that. However having the coil also stops me noticing any changes in my cycle. In fact, only had the coil fitted due to increasingly heavier periods.....it's all a viscous cycle.

But I do feel like a volcano waiting to erupt!!

I'm in a newish relationship with someone with ASD/adhd and I've been getting frustrated with this but I think it could be a bad combo......
