Perimenopause or just extreme anxiety

[SunshineaftertheRai3]

I've been suffering from crippling anxiety, awful dreams and extreme worry since April and just want to feel myself again. Never really suffered from anxiety before. I'm 39 and recently wondering if this could be perimenopause. Just wondering if anyone had experienced similar.

I didn't experience any of that (plenty of other different symptoms) when I went into peri, but all women are different. Are you having difficulty sleeping?

I know people have experienced this at the same time their estrogen is declining. The key thing is you shouldn’t have to feel this way. Speak to a GP and hopefully you’ll turn a corner shortly with the right treatment.
