Perimenopause stinks!!
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi everyone! is it possible that perimenopause could make me feel this bad?! I've had every symptom on the list but the fatigue and loss of interest in everything is terrible! Is that normal? I was always on top of everything. I'd make a list and get it done. Now I don't have any interest in getting out of bed and oh geez the anxiety is crippling!! The health anxiety makes me over think every symptom and have myself convinced something is seriously wrong. Anyone have any tips what worked for them and is this normal to feel this way? Thanks everyone!

I hate to say it, but your reply made me feel better. I have all of the same issues. Am so disappointed and discouraged with this period in my life. Take care!!

same. it is horrible. this covid just makes my health anxiety even worse. i know this is how it feels for some women. the unfortunate women who get all the symptoms. i wouldnt say feeling like this is normal but it is what we are handed. the only thing that helps me is going to church and relying on god. other then that... nothing helps at all for me.

I don't really have any tips, but I can totally relate. I had a big, sobbing cry this afternoon because it has been three solid weeks of extreme fatigue and unwellness. I wish I could help! But I feel for you And for me!
