My cycle started becoming erratic in 2009, my depression returned after an 8 year remission in 2010. My cycle is now super-crazy and so is my mood. Anxiety has been a real feature of this depression, that's not been such of a problem before. I definitely think that the perimenopause has made things worse for me. I've not really had many physical symptoms like night sweats, just the incessant bleeding and the mood swings plus depression. I'm having an ablation next month. No more periods - hurray, I'll be able to wear pretty clothes again.
