Laura-
My perimenopausal syptoms were essentially that everything got worse, more exaggerated. I was more overtly desperate, felt hopeless, hyper, etc. to the point that when (in this period of time) I finally got a real diagnosis, it was initially 'mixed state'.
I have always been 'hormone sensitive', but I gather that a lot of women's underlying psych symptoms are increased by the big changes in progress. Perimenopause can begin as early as late 30's.
I started the low dose BCP's before real HRT and they did help me to even out. But we aren't all wired the same.Good luck,
Cece
