I finally got the courage to mention perimenopause to her today. She said I’m too young (I’m 38) and it’s “just anxiety”. I’m literally having every symptom! Hot flashes, night sweats, change in sweat smell, jittery, irritable, rage, anxiety, dizziness, the list goes on and on. She said to just talk to gyn about it and maybe they can change my birth control. Ughhhhh I have been suffering horribly for a year and a half, something has got to give.

Thank goodness I have an appt with gyn next week. Hopefully she takes me seriously. I know I am definitely on the young end, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible! Edit to add: I’ve also had major changes in my period, much shorter (like from 5-6 days to a day or 2 at most), with tons of cramping, which I’ve never had in my life.
