Inky, here's the link: https://mysupportforums.org/women-focused-support/
It's located on the very first, long page of all the Forums this site hosts, entitled HEALTH & OTHER SUPPORT (it's the fifth banner down). |

I like this thread! I'll need to come back when I'm more relaxed and have dealt with my hunger, LOL. But I am in my late-40s and don't know if I'm dealing with undiagnosed perimenopause or if I'm waiting for the symptoms to come full force ahead! I worry about my mental health worsening, too.

@sarahsweets - thank you!
In the article you shared, I found the following quite helpful in delineating what perimenopause is: Quote:

I wonder if the sudden surges in estrogen in early menopause is why some women unexpectedly get pregnant at around 40.

It explains why I felt my personality would switch really quickly! ..and I'd forget stuff more then think people were accusing me of things as I'd forgot what was said. Hence the beginning of thoughts that there was 'another me' coming out.
Apparently 'Menopausal Schizophrenia' does exist which can also be triggered after giving birth! (then called Post-partum Schizopherenia) It does make you wonder ...if it can trigger schizophrenia in neurotypical women what are the effects going to be on someone who already had MH issues and conditions such as Autism etc? No-one seems to be studying things like this! Mine seems to be settling down now. I just wish I'd written down the date of my last period as I don't seem to have had one for months but can't remember exactly how long it has been! |

I use an app to keep track of mine. I haven't missed one since I started. I was almost 15 though, so started late.

When I was a teen, beepers were in fashion. Cell phones were not yet widely available; I think car phones were for the rich who could afford that. Apps weren't invented yet either.
