Perimenopause symptoms
I'm 47 soon to be 48 and I think I must be experiencing menopause symptoms. I still get my period but it's not really regular, can be heavier than it ever was, skin is dry, i wake up earlier than i normally do, my face seems to turn red for no reason and I have sore nipples. All that is fine, but I often feel so tired, lethargic, and some days just miserable. I have some obsessive type thoughts. I am on medication for depression but I'm wondering if i need something more.
I heard other women joke about symptoms, but everyone seems to be themselves and carrying on. My mother could care less when i've told her how i'm feeling and she actually has said I'm probably not going through menopause because SHE didn't go through it until her 50's.
I have two kids who are 10 and 11 and I feel so uninvolved with them lately. I am there, but feel like I'm not really there. It's like all i want to do is run back to the couch to lay down. My husband is similar to my mother, shows little empathy. I just wish i had more energy. At the moment my back hurts for no reason. Am I crazy?
