I am 42 years old and I am starting to go through my changes. I would really like to chat on line with women that are experiancing the same things that I am feeling.
It's not a chat room but I might be able to help you here (42 here too and same) I just recently signed up for a yahoo group called hotflash it addresses such things as this. I posted the link below hope this helps it's a start anyway.

i don't know any web sites, but i do know how you feel. i had a hysterectomy at 25. i'm now 41. i've had 15 years of hot flashes, mood swings, decreases libido, night sweats. i think i've run the gammut of menapausal symptoms. depression, low self esteem, yep. have you tried hormone replacement therapy. if you've just begun your change, hormone therapy can be quite helpful. don't be so hard on yourself. and you are just as much a woman as you were 15 years ago. some of my friends have looked at this as the beginning of somthing great. they no longer have to worry about getting pregnant and often no periods so it opens up a whole new field for "anytime" sex. they considered it sexually liberating. i didn't 10 years ago, but now i do. the hot flashes hae deminished considerably over the last couple of years. so have the night sweats. it may take a few years if you decide to go thru it naturally. but it's really not that bad on the other side. hope that hlps some, if not, come on back. i'm sure we're not the only ones.
