Sounds like my 5am disturbed sleep. Every morning hot-flash feelings and followed by stressful, overwhelmed feeling dream "snipets"....Very uncomfortable. Been going on for 5 years since some traumatic life events, including a hysterectomy for early stage cancer. I know some of this is hormonal, but the psychological aspect is very hard. I 've resisted going on psych meds ,so I try all kinds of supplements but nothing seems to help.

I’m sorry to hear you’re going through that.

You need to check with your doctor of course, but I wonder if you have ever tried bioidentical hormones. They helped me immensely when I was going through perimenopause and after. I used the cream rather than taking anything oral. You can use a very small dose sometimes. I used progesterone only for many years and then added a little bit of estrogen. If you use estrogen, you have to use progesterone with it. I, too, have the stress/physical problems cycle and it's so frustrating because it's difficult to know which is which. They're definitely linked! Good luck to you! 💕
