I thought I was losing my Mind

Sorry this is long . Well, I was surprised I had lost any weight this week but then I have strictly been following my eating in the last week. But I will confess, I have found watching and caring what I eat hard and I couldn't be bothered. In fact I was fed up with everything and had been for months and felt that I desperately needed a holiday. I was feeling moody and down. My feeling down was so bad that I mentioned to my mum that if my due holiday did not work I was going to the doctor. But just before I went away, I was talking to a friend and work colleague about things in general and mentioned a couple of things and then she went on to name a few other things that she was going through and it is was me to a tee. And then she asked me my age and we are close in age and then she told me that I was going through peri-menopause and to look it up. And that she was on natural health pills that were helping her. So I did and went on the same pills and after two weeks of taking a slightly increased dose, I woke up feeling my old self. Now I know what I am contending with and understand why I was and am feeling the way I do at times, I am now able to focus. I have had support from my work colleagues and other friends who have gone through the same thing. I am 45 and was told by a few people I was too young but it can start at any time. And I can say it has made my life hell and could have cost me a lot. So anyone of you out there feeling not right and you are female don't discount menopause if you think you are too young, it can occur when you are considered "young".
