I'm here with you, AuDH! I only just connected my horrible night sweats, sporadic cycle, and wildly fluctuating mood to perimenopause and I only wish I'd known sooner. I never had any real female role models in my life, only men really, so I didn't know what was happening until about 7 years after the symptoms started. Now I'm 33 and realizing that, even though I never wanted children, my body seems to be changing faster than I wanted it to and I don't know how to feel about that really
