Perimenopausal / increased anxiety/ SEN mum

I’m feeling totally overwhelmed at the moment . The heatwave is not helping. Does anyone else around my age 39 feel more anxious when they’re around 1 or 2 days before their menstrual cycle ? . I also just think I’m exhausted as my son has autism and that comes with different challenges . I don’t want to take HRT but I can definitely feel the hormones fluctuating. Women’s life is not easy 😭😭

Anxiety at our age is not great. I mean I am older than you by a few years. I too have an autustic child. 2 actually. And the burnout is strong. I have trying hard to find mums to talk to around my age with fluctuating hormone with Autustic children. Its so bloody hard. Especially when you don't have a village to help .

Advice please

My now husband proposed on June 23, 2023. We were married on Oct 1st same year. The morning he proposed we made love. We had been together for a year prior and only had about 6 times of intimacy. When we met and started dating he told me that sex was something he enjoyed and he had a slightly kinky side. I had never experienced that before but he assured me it wasn’t crazy. Well, those times we were intimate were anything but kinky. They were just normal intimate moments. So I thought he was waiting so he wouldn’t scare me off. Fast forward to today; we have not had any sexual contact since the proposal. None. Zero. Nothing. When he is home I have made advances. I have hinted. I have walked around nude. I have tried talking to him. Nothing has worked. The other day I found little blue pills in his nightstand. Yes, I counted and what was a package of 48 individual packs… it only has 32. I don’t know how to approach the situation. Where do I start?
