Lately I've been experiencing some bonkers perimenopause symptoms that likely include anxiety, panic attacks, joint pain, irregular periods, low libido, and debilitating ADHD of the Inattentive variety. I have not felt like myself for the last year and a half, but especially over the last month.
I want to write about this experience, but I'm not sure where to start or how to enter the story or even whether people would care about it. Sometimes a good prompt gets me unstuck, which is where you come in. Curious about perimenopause -- in general or about my experience? Ask me anything about it and I may work it into a future essay series.
Some facts: I'm 52 years old, I have a uterus, and I'm willing to talk about anything, so don't be shy. This includes men, because I know there are perimenopausal women in your life that you love and care about.
