Hi all. I’m relatively new here so this is probably the wrong place for this thread but I’m wondering if I’m losing my marbles or being overly dramatic. Sorry if this is the wrong spot.
I’m mid 40’s and not diagnosed as perimenopausal but I suspect I’m somewhere in it. The problem is the psychological side of it for me. Im anxious quite often (which I know is a symptom) but I also have days which are like PMS but usually coincide with the first few days of my period. I end up incredibly down, feeling massively negative about myself and my levels of self loathing skyrocket, I’m teary for no reason and often really push my partner away emotionally at this time. I work hard to combat this throughout the month and address this, and I’ve just read every self help book and played just about every type of sleep hypnosis going that encourages self worth and positive thinking but I’m thinking life is too short to feel this Crap so often and why the heck can’t it just bugger off and let me be?
Do other people get this cyclical peak and trough emotional rollercoaster going on?
