Try to slow down some, take a good vitamin, plenty of water, fresh vegetable and good proteins and carbs. Get in bed and get a good 8 hours of sleep. Take some time for yourself. And believe it or not, don't over exercise. This is a very difficult time. Your body needs all the help it can get.
At times, long and heavy periods (especially with clotting) can indicate you could be having anovalutory cycles. Meaning that your progesterone could be low. But at 46, it's also quite possible that your estrogen levels are also falling. Hopefully your physician might be of some help.

I don't think you are crazy or dying. I have tuneed 46 in August. I have been suffering from lots of emotional ups&downs thinking it is due to personal matters. Lots of aches and pains on my legs&ovaries. But I now realised that it is the PERI PERI GP was very happy to proscribe me antidepressants! But I said no. What is very sad is that many women go through it not not much research has gone into it and therefore not much help there for us. GPs could provide group sessions, support & therapy to women. But let alone this GPS has little understanding in the matter. Women has to suffer in silence but get on with every say chores. Good luck to all my lady friends.

had mine for years( not said to depress you)
very irregular cycles and bleed amounts.
its good to see gyne - rules out any internal problems causing it.
recommend vitamins B in breakfast cereal or supplements as might help with energy and 'what did i come in here for' moments

You should take some time to yourself get away
Learn some yoga or relaxation take time to take care of your own issues
