I think i’m starting the menopause
Comment:
i’m 42, I think i’m starting the menopause, as after 25 yrs of regular periods, i’ve now started skipping the occasional month,i feel so touchy all the time,have mood swings, feel really frightened by the knowledge that i’m getting old,even thougth i’ve had a tough life at times, i’ve never suffered depression, but now i feel like crying often, feel ugly and undesirable (even though married for 18 yrs to a great man) i have no references in my female relations to go by, so i feel at a loss. I do hope that i start feeling myself soon as this is really heavy going. Bye for now & thank you

Yes it may be, and the fluctuating hormone levels cause imbalance, and all of your feelings listed are typical of menopausal symptoms, your not alone, talk to your husband or close friend to express how you feel and ask for there understanding and help
Take plenty of excercise, a well balanced diet will all help at the time of hormonal change, and a new phase of your life
