    Sounds like you are peri.....it comes and goes. I just do as much as I can when i feel ok. On the flat down days I just hibernate. You feel like you have lost your mojo.Keep in touch on here as everyone is really supportive and have great tips for getting through this stage.

    yes thats it.     its comes and goes so you will get better days.  

    Since ive had peri menopause - ive had so many symptoms all that others such as yourself have,  the worse being low mood and anxiety, all part of hormones changing, i too have a temper, best to divert yourself away and do something that you really enjoy AND learn somekind of relax technique.   all the best
