Going through something

Hey, I'm tanya, 48, and started feeling perimenopause symptoms about six years ago. First, I lost a lot of hair and it grew back wavy (stick straight since I was a kid), then my deodorant stopped working and I was sweating constantly. Then anxiety, rage, and sleeplessness set in. And brain fog, and other weird symptoms too. I also now wonder if I was never diagnosed with ADHD either. (Eldest daughter, overachiever, massively independent, etc)

I finally got to see a specialist two years ago. On top of the bc I've been taking for years due to a hormone issue, they added Prozac. I didn't realize that it made things worse, and a month ago I lowered my dose and feel a lot better. But still not myself.

I'm here to learn more, figure out where to get help from, and also just take comfort in knowing that there are many of us out there experiencing this when I feel like I'm going batsh*t crazy most days.
