      Helen, sometimes I go into another room so I don’t bother my family with all my issues. Yes, I feel so sensitive to everything too. Take care Helen. Thank you for posting.

    Hi Helen, you are not alone!  The anxiety I have right now is the worst I’ve ever experienced.  I’m 47 and almost 4 years into peri.  Try to do something to distract yourself.  Keep posting, too.  We’re here for you. 🌸

      Oh Liz, the anxiety is the worst. It keeps me from enjoying life and I lose motivation. Distraction is the best way to get through it. I've also been able to go to an anxiety group and that has helped too.

    When this first started 2 years ago I really thought something was terribley wrong.. I was scared and just couldn't imagine that it could have remotely been because I was entering menopause... I had skipped my period for three months..which I had done before so I wasn't too concerned ... but I felt like I was having one...bloated, cramps just like a period but no blood.. that happened several times through the first year... then the motion sickness feeling started last year.  Not too many hot flashes , but yes to the night sweats... I wake up in the morning and my heart pounds with anxiety..and panic... 

    can anyone relate to this?  😪
