I feel like I'm on a roller-coaster
Hey y'all. I'm 43. I'm pretty sure I'm in late stage Peri. I started to notice symptoms about 4 years ago. My anxiety went through the roof, I stopped being able to sleep without drugs, I was having lil hot flashes at night, my armpits started smelling different, my skin was dryer than normal, my periods were acting up...i just skipped two months..it showed up again the beginning of this month. I got diagnosed with ADHD which honestly makes sense..the random rage and crying fits have been outlandish..and the belly fat out of nowhere...but all of a sudden..things are slowly getting better..anxiety subsided..I can sleep with zero help..armpits are less Italian..my ADHD is being controlled by a strict routine....but this makes me feel ..crazy. Why did everything chill all of a sudden? Is this the calm before the storm is it going to get worse? Im freaking out because I can actually sleep now.. i want to attribute it to me working out every day, eating better and regulating my nervous system but my brain is like girl this is the eye of the storm watch out.. I do have a therapist and I will be seeing my gyno next week.. but has anyone dealt with this?
