Hello, Sisters. I'm just having a very difficult adjustment and becoming acclimated. Perimenopause is more than just the body..it has been negatively effecting my mind, soul, spirit, and emotions. It's the sudden realization that I am aging and very soon I will be considered an elder person. It's very difficult for the last 3 days. I came on my period two days ago, expecting a regular period..but on day two I was barely bleeding, and sometimes the bleeding had stopped completely. I'd wipe, and nothing was on the tissue. It saddens me, that my best friend since age 11, is going to permanently leave me, perhaps sooner than later. My womb is dying off. The womb that never housed, developed and nurtured a person. I never wanted children, but knowing that my reproductive organs were working properly and youthful was always comforting. This may be sensitive content...but even when I look at my once full and vibrant pubic hair, that has been falling out, and the remaining follicles are grey and some turning ..it saddens me.. Once full hair, is thin oily and patchy with bald spots, skin is sticky and thinner now, not attractive and attracting anybody now, lifelong insomnia amped up and has me very wired, hyper, and exhausted, always perspired alot, now it's a huge increase, daily laxatives, appetite has decreased significantly, off balanced a little, paranoid, lifelong anxieties amped up significantly, regular bowel movements turned into needing daily laxatives, itchy skin, etc .. I think of all the missed opportunities and "life" I've never partaken in, that have gone by ... The body, health, sleep, mind, etc ... That I once had...long gone ..I'm deeply depressed. Aging sucks.
