43 and I genuinely don't know if I'm falling apart or if this is just... being 43 with a full-time job and two kids who still need me for everything. Periods have gone a bit weird in the last few months. Used to be like clockwork, now they're showing up early, then late, then really heavy for one cycle and barely there the next. I've started writing it down because I kept forgetting what had happened the month before and then sounding vague at the GP. The anxiety is the bit that's really getting me though. I've always been a bit of a worrier but this feels different. Like it's not about anything specific, it's just there when I wake up. And I'm SO tired but then I can't sleep properly and my brain is just foggy all day. I've been wondering if food has something to do with it because the weeks I actually manage a proper dinner instead of whatever's fastest feel slightly less grim. The thing is I don't know how to bring this up at the GP without sounding like I'm just describing being a tired working mum in 2024. Like, is that all this is? Am I going to go in there and they're going to look at me like I've wasted their time? I'm 43. I keep reading that's too young but then I read it's not?? Does this sound familiar to anyone here x
