Heavy periods, hot flashes, skin problems, and anxiety. Am i going nuts?

I am 42 years old and got my period twice last month. This is the first time this has happened. I had two full weeks of a heavy period (when they used to be light) and then in between a whole week of heavy dark spotting. Now, I have it again since yesterday. This is crazy. I've also had insomnia for about a year and a half (waking up early or in the middle of the night) and didn't realize this is one of the symptoms as well. I've also seen skin changes, eye changes, blurry thinking, acid reflux about a month ago (which I have never had in my life), and anxiety/depression. I feel like I'm going to lose it. How can one get through this? It affects you in so many ways. I'm really scared that I won't be able to handle it. Anyone else feel this way?
