Moody McMoody - oh, perimenopause
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi, so happy to have found you all.
I am so horribly moody and anxiety-ridden I cannot deal with myself at all so really glad I'm single. I'm 48. My doctor does feel I am in perimenopause - for the last couple of weeks I've been a walking hot flash, plus I have the mood swings of my worst version of PMS...
I actually quit my gynecologist in a huff because her assistant was maddening on the phone. I work from home, fortunately, in a high pressure position, and am barely able to keep it together right now.
I just started Pro Gest cream and am hoping for a good result.
Basically though I'm shocked at these emotional issues I'm having. I've never been a shrinking violet, for sure, but I feel like a walking ball of rage. Please tell me this gets better...(I know it's all individual)
I have almost quit my job via phone so many times in the last couple of weeks I can't even tell you.
Perimenopause for me seems to magnify my emotional reaction/response to a situation that really is negative, but can be reasoned through under other circumstances.
I feel like a screaming infant :-/
So thats my story...wish I had a few more years before this! Look forward to reading everyone's posts.

Wow, great responses, all - so sorry you're going through the moodiness too!
I don't know how I'm going to get through this workweek of a crazy project and a really, really difficult coworker. Have been struggling greatly to respond appropriately - would under any circumstance but right now it's more of a challenge!
