hormonal soup

I'm 45 and starting menopause?  How is this even possible?

How I know:

*  the absence of the obviously main thing....for months now.  ??
*  more cranky than usual.  That's a hard one to track, really
*  mood way up, way down, way up again.
*  trouble sleeping.  Tension in my body
*  HOT FLASHES.  Not flashes, tho.  Long periods of burning fire.

I don't know how to navigate through this part, and I didn't think I'd have to be doing it already.  I had great plans to already be in excellent shape before I entered Menopause (it should be capitalized since it's like its own country) because from everything I've heard, losing weight/getting in shape is ten times harder after Menopause.  But instead of being in fantastic shape, I managed to actually put ON some of the weight that I recently---at great effort---had lost before summer.  Way to go, me.

I'm thinking there must be a club for women like me?  The Menopause-Too-Early Club?  Where is it?  How do I join?  

Sign me up.  Please.
