read Screaming to be heard by Dr Elizabeth Vliet, a bit medical at times, but you will see how the decline in oestrogen can start in our 30's sometimes, and it explains why we have the feelings you describe. It won't necessarily stop the feelings, but at least you will understand that you are not going mad.
Good Luck

Now I'm renowned for being a bit anti-SSIs/ADs on this site, especially if they're the only thing being offered by a GP to help what is clearly hormonal & perimenopausal symptoms at my age. But I would not be surprised if they prescribed them for you at your age!
I have personal reasons for my not wanting to take them as part of my perimeno care. My eldest sister has had long-term mental health issues, takes a ton of anti-psychotic meds and needs watching over by her sisters. So I truly see her need for them, just not mine as we're completely polar opposites in most ways, noticeably confidence- and personality-wise.
To be honest i can see the parallels of things like anxiety attacks/depression/ bi polar with the onset of perimeno: there are many similar symptoms.
I'll also say that you'll read testimonies on here from loads of women who have taken ADs etc for years, and not just to help with perimeno symptoms, wo will say they are life-savers. And they are, and I see is with my sister's better quality of life. They're just not for me right now, personally speaking.
But I think firstly you should go see your GP, armed with your list of symptoms. There are blood tests specifically to check hormone levels, but I get the impression they're not wholly accurate for all.
Plus I wonder if your thyroid needs checking?. When that's out of whack that can make you feel terrible, and after all' it is responsible for so much to keep us well and balanced.
There are lots of things that could be causing all your symptoms. It'd be so much easier to say' Welcome to our club, you've got what we've got!', but for me if I was your age, I'd want to rule out other health issues first.....then you'd only have perimenopause to look forward to :-) :-) !
Chin up kid, go get yourself checked out. What's to lose?

I totally get ya with the bereavement thing. It sucks. (Lost my dad when i was very (too) young and my mum and mum in-law within 6mths of each other!).
That was 14yrs ago, around the time my eldest sister got really ill.Truthfully, she had probably been mentally ill for years and years, aged 71 now they weren't too up on children's issues in the 40s/50s when she was a kid. As I say, she was the 'quiet one' in a very noisy, big happy family. Think losing mum tipped her right over the top
I feel for you kid. I do think in amongst the diamonds, there are some ar*eholes of Docs out there, especially when it comes to mental health issues. Fortunately, when my sis was at her worse, she had the most fantastic, sympathetic female GP, we as a family couldn't thank her enough :-)
Keep reading/posing: you'll get lots of support on here:-)

You could have an FSH test to see if you are close but the test is not very sensitive and sometimes doesn't show any change until periods have stopped completely. Hope you feel better soon.

My anxieties and depression were really high as I was going through menopause. I am on a low dose of zoloft 25mg You should talk to your doctor about being on Zoloft or something that will help you while you are going through menopause.
Hope you feel better
