Symptoms are so crazy!!

I am literally losing my mind! Ok so i havent had a period in 255 days.....i have had all 66+ symptoms of perimenopause and then some. Most people who have read my posts know that i have tried antidepressants, herbal treatments, probiotics and vitamins to no avail. But in the past 2 months ive been having "good" days here and there when i feel like my old self (not enough if them tho) but then right after i have a good day BAM i wake up with intense nausea, extreme lathergy, depressed mood and awful headache....that will go on for 1-3 days then all the sudden i wake up normal feeling again....i can eat, absolutely zero depression or anxiety, no nausea tiredness or headache but it only lasts for like 24 hours at most then its back to my hell again. What in the world is going on with me!? Is it hormone related or is it mental illness i wish i knew for a fact cause then i would suffer through the months of debilitating antidepressant side effects so i could get more better days. Can anyone else relate?

So have your periods stopped? At 42? I'm seriously almost there I think. Were yours super light right before they stopped??

Yep as of right now my periods are gone. The way my cycle went is the last three years my periods started becoming lighter, but same length i had always gone...7 days, that went on fir a year. Then my periods started slowly moving farther apart......they would be 36 days a part for a few months, then moved up to 45 days apart for two months then 60 days apart for a few months....during thus whole time they were lighter with less cramping but i would be dizzy alot with hot flashes too. Then a all the sudden last year i only had 2 periods 6 months apart....and this year nothing yet! i havent had a period since last july.

My estrogen is within the normal range. Have you tried Soy and Chasteberry. That has helped me some.
