I've been putting off this GP appointment for months because every time I try to explain what's going on I end up sounding vague and then walk out with nothing. So I've actually started a notes page on my phone this week. Cycles are the main thing. They've gone from 28 days like clockwork to anywhere between 22 and 38, which started maybe eight or nine months ago and I never wrote it down so I'm having to piece it together from memory. Lesson learned. Also on the list: the anxiety that wakes me up at 3am for no reason, the brain fog that makes me feel like I'm doing my job through cotton wool, and the fact that I've been so tired I cancelled plans three weekends in a row. I keep second-guessing whether this is even worth bringing up or if she'll just say it's stress. I'm 42 and I feel too young to be in this conversation but also too old to keep ignoring it. Writing it all down at least makes it feel real x
