Hi. I've never contributed to a forum before, so please feel free to correct me if I make a mistake. I'm 51 and beginning the menopause and it's my moods that are severely affected. I would love to hear from anyone who is going through this normal process and chat about it. I've never had close friends, but I do have a lovely partner and a 14 year old son, so I'm not completely alone. Thank you. :)

@Shell51 Hi I had a difficult time with my moods during perimenapause. These hormonal changes can be very difficult to deal with! I hope that we can support you here.
@Shell51 welcome to the community! I hope you find this safe place supportive and helpful.
@Shell51 Nice job sharing.
@Shell51- welcome and thank you for sharing your menopause challenges. I mostly remember tons of hot flashes and not being able to sleep- that probably led to mood swings. Take care of yourself - there are lots of resources nowadays about how to stay healthy physically and emotionally during menopause.
