Post by: nthwales123 on October 09, 2020, 01:51:23 PM: Hi all
I'm 46, not had any tests but from my moods and negative sleep pattern I think I may be peri menopausal.

I've been with my partner for almost 30 years and I'm feeling constantly irritated by him, the slightest thing, and feel I'm almost looking for fault.

I don't think covid and lockdown etc helps but I don't want to blame anything on that ad use as an excuse. I'm questioning myself as to whether its me and my hormones or whether I'm feeling, is this is, am I happy to settle for this?

Any similar experiences i would love to hear from you xx

Unrest is common I think. We get to a certain age and do wonder ...........

Browse round. It's The Change, does what it says on the tin ::)

Some find keeping a mood/food/diary of use. To chart progress. Date of your periods etc. to see if your moodiness is cyclic.

I have loved lockdown but I realise that it exacerbates issues for some. Maybe he has always been irritating but you were able to remove yourself more often without even noticing?

I giggled at sage commenting about the club... to be fair none of us would join it if we had a choice but all us girls are kinda in it together. Least we can pool resources and share info here. So welcome once again.
