Am I peri-menopausal?
I’m 45 using nothing other than SSRI for anxiety. I went through a phase last year where I was so tired, I could not move. I don’t want to go out, I can barely get out of bed and have zero motivation, I can care less.
I wake up almost every night 3am ish and just lie in bed until 5am ish, fall back asleep and wake up just in time for work (I work from home). I don’t bother changing out of my PJ’s and when I do because camera on, I don’t bother with the usual makeup and hair, I look presentable but not great and actually don’t care what people think.
I agree to attend socials with friends, and immediately regret it and do mental gymnastics to figure out how to get out of it.
Today, for a while the absolute exhaustion is better, but the sleep, care and motivation is still present. I don’t know, should I consider HRT? Will it make a difference? I will go see my GP, I’m in New Zealand so healthcare is universal.
