Going throught the changes: Perimenopause
I am 49 and starting perimenopause. I an very depresses. I missed my period for one month, but suffering severe old symptoms. I got my period 26 days late and it was a bitch. I finished it but still having old symptoms bad. Bloating, breast sore, weight gain, and depressed. I also stopped taking Zoloft due to side effects I could not deal w. Anyone help me. How did you adjust to all of this? Is this all normal things happening? I try and be active and eat fairly clean

Hi there. Think I'm going through similar process. My period is about 9 days late. Getting bloating, cramping, weight gain too. Now cramping and dark brown discharge but still not normal period yet. The hormones have been up and down / mood swings / irritability for about 2 weeks now. Really horrendous. Have to keep going to work and being 'normal' whilst all these bodily happenings or not happenings are going on. Miserable. Like you say - being active and to some extent exercising mind over matter is one way to deal with it.
