    The anxiety thing is so real. I’ve heard of hot flashes of course, it’s the stereotypical peri/meno thing. But when I had my first one, I was surprised that it was a combination of feeling like I was on fire plus almost… panic attack type feelings? But without any emotional element, just purely physical. I was shook up for like 10 minutes after my body cooled down.

      Yeah, those are awful! I haven’t gotten them too severely of a day time, yet. Apart from waking up in a pool of sweat, because I’ve had one in the night and it’s woken me up. Ugh. I’m on hrt, and I’m almost starting to feel like myself again, sort of.
