Yeah, I hate to ask the question being of a certain age myself, how old are you?

I'm 49 and my last period started with spotting and lasted for 6 weeks, getting really, really heavy by the end. Eventually, I had to have a hormone treatment that stopped the bleeding but really triggered my depression and paranoia. You have to work with your doctor on this one and get a referral to a gyn.

Before the peri-menopause hit, I found hormones always triggered my depression and my normal cycle used to be 22 days so I was rollercoasting the whole time, I'm actually relieved that the longer cycles have levelled out that aspect of my mood and I actually look forward to the menopause because it will put an end to all the uncertainty and hassle.
