Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out because I'm feeling completely overwhelmed and I'm not sure what's going on with my body. I'm 45 and going through a pretty big life upheaval right now - new job, new city, and a nasty case of the flu thrown in for good measure.

On top of that, I've just experienced some incredibly hurtful family interactions that have left me feeling completely drained and isolated. It's been about a month since I've been able to work out regularly, and now I find myself falling asleep at the drop of a hat. I'm constantly thirsty, my body aches like I still have the flu, and I just feel completely exhausted.

I'm wondering if this could be perimenopause, or if I should see a doctor. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
