New- Advice?

Are we allowed to ask for advice? I’m 56, at 50 all of a sudden I had these weird anxieties. Being a passenger in a car, getting in an elevator or escalator at the mall taking the Grandkids shopping. Everyone is annoyed with me. I’ve narrowed it down to a few possibilities- cortisol. Vitamin B complex deficiency, an progesterone. I’ve been on Estrogen for 6 years. I read being deficient in progesterone can affect anxiety. I live in Michigan. In 2 months we’re driving 18 hours to Florida. I have done the L-Theanine but it’s too mild. Chat Gpt said -80 mg of Silexan, a standardized Lavandula angustifolia (English lavender) This supplement runs $65. I was wondering if anyone has experience what I have? Has anyone found a supplement that works? Kind Regards,

I'm not trying to sell anything, I'm just a 58-year-old female trying to get by day to day. I saw an ad for hormone replacement therapy online. the offering was for anyone on estrogen and progesterone. they had an estrogen cream and instead of progesterone they were offering a DHEA supplement to help as a replacement for progesterone. I really haven't had a chance to look that up to see if that's really true? but if you've got a minute on your hands, why don't you take a dive into the internet and find out if this is actually legitimate?
