I'm a crazy person.
I'm losing my mind.
I keep having panic attacks. That are becoming more frequent. Like once a week. I am not sure if this is because my hormones are all over the place because of perimenopause or something else.
Can perimenopause make you bipolar?
It's always at work or public places when I have these panic attacks. I think I might have agoraphobia now. I'm not sure what is triggering them. Everyone keeps telling I'm doing too much. I personally think I am not doing enough. I have always stayed busy to help with my anxiety because it kept my mind occupied.
I've been pretty depressed recently and I haven't had much energy or motivation to do .....anything. I feel stuck. I feel weak. I feel useless. I hate myself.
I don't want to be here anymore.

Perimenopause can make depression and anxiety worse! If you can, see a doctor or mental health professional. I was having panic attacks at night, but I’m on the right medication now, and while I still have worries and anxiety around certain things, panic attacks are less frequent and milder, if that makes sense. My therapist helps me reframe my outlook on those feelings of not doing enough or being enough. She taught me tools to help me through the bad thoughts.
You are enough and you deserve to feel better.
...It ook me forever to get an appointment...but I am seeing a therapist now.
I have anxiety and recent acute depression because of my BF passing in November. I have been on the the same antixyolitic for years. But now it isn't working. I almost feel like it made my anxiety worse.
Thanks for your input. This is SO frustrating. I just want to feel like myself again.
My sympathies for your loss, and I wish you peace and comfort.
I tried many different medications over the last 10 years. Some of them didn’t work, some did make things worse, some might have worked but side effects were terrible, and some of them worked for a while but stopped working over time. I gently encourage you to ask for something different, especially if you are feeling worse. I don’t think any of them will “cure” but the right one can help ease the worst parts.
I can help you with detoxification and Reishi mushroom microtherapy plus Vit C
Peri menopause can cause symptoms of anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. It can feel like your losing the plot in life but I can be improved
