Any other #perimenopause adjacent folks struggle with #anxiety surges in the morning? I keep waking up in a panic, and it feels very physiological -- like there don't seem to be any thoughts at all associated with it. From what I've read, lower estrogen levels can lead to higher cortisol? I dunno, but it's extremely unpleasant.
