Hi, my name is Jo am 42 and i have been going through perimenopause for about 8 months now. Some days are ok but other day are bad and even my family are effected but are really supportive, i just don't know what to do. When my doctor confirmed he suggested to go back on the contraception pill (came off it in lockdown) which sort of balanced my hormones but the last few weeks its hit me and I've been feeling so low, and am struggling in work and anxiety. I share an office with a 52yr old woman and she is very cynical she thinks am not going through menopause as am too young, and she is so negative and constantly moans about everything and anything everyday which I have tried to say to ignore what's going on and look after yourself and even tried to be positive and make her happy but now am hitting a brick wall as instead of making her happy i have realised i need to concentrate on me. I don't know how much more i can take of feeling sad, is this normal? is this job worth it right now suffering and suffering again in this office 😦 or am i feeling like this because of menopause? i have tried supplements but nothing seems to work, please if someone can give me some advice.

Thank you.

    Hey Joanne,

    How are things going? Are you able to speak to your manager about how you feel?
