46 and Perimenopausal symptoms?
Since mid-Jan. I have been experiencing my monthly cycles one month 18 days apart and lasting 7-8 days(normal to light flow) mostly dark brown. Next month, 31-32 days. I feel overly stressed from just stress of life from before.
Symptoms: Headaches,cry easily, sore muscles, low energy at times, depressed, short tempered, anxiety, overwelmed with things to do, vision is changing, and some facial hair is starting. I just don't feel myself. I have had no kids and am not on BC.
I do take: Soy Isoflavones, Vit. D3, Mulit vit, calcium, vision/ocuvite .
With research I have started to take Saw Palmetto to help balance hormones with facial hair.
Any insight for me would be helpful. Suggestions, or this is normal, how long will this last in this intense phase for me. I'd say this month has been the worse, but might be hightened to all the personal home changes going on.

You could be going thru menopause, which varies in different women, however, it could be something else. I would see your doctor. My mother had the same symptoms and figured it was menopause. She went to the doctor and found out it was a thyroid problem. One pill a day, and everything is fine. She is 53 and still has not gone thru menopause, and 46 still seems a bit young for menopause. See a professional.
