Is this perimenopause?
Hey guys, I am really struggling right now. I'm hoping I can at least find some people who understand me. Maybe that will help.
I'm only mid 30s (but with a family history of early menopause). Recently, I can no longer tolerate ANY caffeine. I have severe anxiety and intrusive thoughts. I cannot fall asleep OR stay asleep. I can't concentrate or finish tasks. I'm tingly all over. Most food grosses me out. I'm getting crazy acne around my periods that I haven't had since my teens.
I'm a mess, and I don't know what to do. The reason it occurred to me that it might be hormonal was my singing voice. I know it sounds weird, but my singing voice has always changed right before my period. Recently, it has stayed in that "before period" range constantly.
Any advice or anecdotes would be appreciated. Feeling a little scared of my own body :(
