Hi Maria, yes, unfortunately, over-thinking, being too anxious (almost having a mini-panic attack) and feeling almost like out of body/out of mind is not so very uncommon. A few years back when I was probably in perimenopause it spooked me out no end. Had no idea that it was peri. It is only now when I think back that I realize I was going thru perimenopause without knowing what it was. I was in mid-40's (now I am 50, and menopausal for the last year) and had no idea about perimenopause and all that.
Of course this transition is no cake-walk, but it becomes easier once you realize that most of the changes are due to changing levels of hormones.
Hang in there, it often gets better with time, though I still have get to that plateau. Still going through the long list of symptoms. Check this group often, you will definitely get answers to most issues.

Hi. YOU R NOT ALONE!
I’ve been this way for about 5wks now. I’m so anxious & I’m not sleeping, my body sweats, mind feels out of control AM hours r my worst time, & I can’t be still. Leg muscles, joints, back & neck ache and stomach twists and groans. Bowel upset also. I’ll be 50 in September. I’m seeing an Endocrinologist today and hoping for answers. Had a multitude of blood, stool, and other tests performed in last couple wks. All Clean...no tumors, cancers or imbalances. That leaves HORMONES??!!! How can THAT make me feel like I’m losing my mind & control of body....I will ask today for a full panel of Adrenal & Hormone testing. Many ladies in this link r telling same stories we r...all seems to lead to Peri Menopausal Hormone imbalances. Lord let this be figures out quickly and I hope you get to a Dr also. Not knowing makes the anxiety worse. The mind plays with us and anxiety isn’t healthy. I hope some good vitamins & maybe even talk therapy will help me. I’ll update when Hormone testing comes back. Good Luck &
Remember you’re not alone.

You’ve decided me almost ! Give it take a few differences ! I’m probably worse than you with the anxiety ? I have to take a Valium to attend ANY appointment . . Dentist, Hairdresser or even the doctors !! It has to be Hormones because if it isn’t we’ve all got the same damn illness ! I wasn’t like this before so I hang on to belief I will feel normal again xx Deb xx

Hi Maria, I have to say it saved me 🙏🏼 I could into a state 4 years ago and could not calm down. It was just awful . . . I’m fine any where as long as it’s not an appointment, that’s when I get uptight and feel like I can’t relax ? I hope they will let you have it or something similar ! It can be addictive so you really have to limit yourself with it ! I really hope you can fe better xx bloody hormones xx

Ladies
After many of the same symptoms I mentioned before my GI Dr found me healthy and highly recommended an Endocrinologist...found a female and went today. She listened intently and than requested an Ultrasound of my Thyroid, saying My GP only checked 1 level in Thyroid she ordered & Thyroid has many things to check. My GP said my Tjyroid was FINE!!! Endo Dr also ordered a multitude of nutrient, vitamin, hormone, blood sugar & Adrenal panels of blood work.
Most complete review & far More comprehensive than my GP ever offered or recommended. My GI did endoscopy/colonoscopy to rule out Celiac, Chrohn, IBS, etc. as I also have bowel issues!
I’m most impressed with the full bore approach of the female (of course!) Endocrinologist who heard my symptoms and truly heard my anxiety & concerns.
It takes a lady to hear a lady sometimes.

Its reallly maddening that doctors are telling a HUGE population of women that they are depressed when they are all menopausal.
Depression and anxiety is one of many SYMPTOMS of menopause and perimenopause because of our fluctuating hormones, diminishing hormones and the adrenals have to take over (which are ofcourse more important than the sex hormones so they get the back burner)
By no means is it the DX. There is ALWAYS a root cause of a symptom.
i have difficult life altering depression and anxiety and never really did until i hit menopause. 53 yrs and BAM I have depression and anxiety.
ALL of this is ENDOCRINE related and SHAME on the medical community for not acknowledging and firmly SUPPORTING this. If this was a mans problem, it would have been solved 100 yrs ago.
kudos to all of you tough women out there. Its day to day for me, so i feel you all..
