As someone going through this, living alone, with no partner or children. I can tell you that it is brutal. I've suffered with PMDD for years, which has damaged a lot of friendships, and few of those remain intact. Perimenopause and the growing awareness of undiagnosed ADHD/AUDHD is a living hell.

After being self-employed for years, I now find myself unable to work and most days I struggle to get out of bed. Honestly? I have never felt so lost and alone as I do right now and I'm wondering if there's any point in being here at all. I don't think anyone would even notice.

I am so sorry to read how you are feeling 🥺. I can’t begin to imagine what it is like to have PMDD in perimenopause and the challenges that brings. I am sending you a massive hug through the internet. I know this feeling of what’s the point and not wanting to deal with feeling so awful anymore but please hang on in there. When the hormones settle the light comes back. Xx
