Usually, when I'm menstruating, my menopausal symptoms abate and I get some relief from hot flashes and anxiety spikes. Except this time.
It's been not great.
I'm exhausted, because my hot flashes and anxiety spikes are worse at night, you know, WHEN I'M TRYING TO SLEEP. This detoxing-from-estrogen nonsense is BULLSHIT. If it was just the hot flashes and all the 'joy' that that brings, it wouldn't be so bad, but the anxiety is a lot. For those of you with GAD, my sympathies.
(And no, I'm not interested in hormone therapy, because putting this off until a later date defeats the point of going through this, which has to happen at some point, so... Yeah.)
