Hi! I found an anxiety centre in London, Ontario that specializes in treating these horrible cortisol surges. It is anxietycentre.com. They call what we have hyperstimulation. They know how to completely cure it.
@bumble81 I agree with you that my symptoms seem to be hormonal as well! But doctors seem to think middle aged women are depressed or anxious when their endocrine systems seem to be off! I’m 45, and 5 years ago I had my uterus and both ovaries removed due to endometriosis, and then about a year after that my thyroid stopped working properly, so I’m Synthroid now, as well as estrogen and progesterone.

It’s frustrating to have mental health conflated with physical health! I don’t get it? I wonder if it is a lack of knowledge in the field? Or lack of focus on women’s health? It’s super irritating to have to search the web to get any kind of understanding of what is going on, though...
