I cried in the bathroom again today.
Not because something big happened.
But because I couldn't handle one more tiny thing.
The toast burned.
My phone kept buzzing.
Someone asked me for something… and I just couldn’t.
It’s not the toast.
It’s not the text.
It’s that I’ve been running on fumes for weeks.
No rest.
No space.
No time to just be without a million tabs open in my brain.
Mental exhaustion doesn’t always look like dramatic breakdowns.
Sometimes it’s quiet.
Invisible.
Just… tears behind a locked door because it’s the only place you can breathe.
If this is you—know this:
You’re not “too emotional.”
You’re not failing.
You’re burnt out.
And your body is begging you to stop ignoring the signs.

You don’t have to carry it all alone.

Have you felt like this before?

You’re crying over a gum ad, yelling because someone left the cupboard open, and five minutes later you’re curled up wondering why everything feels so loud and so hard.

It’s the kind of emotional chaos that makes you question if you’re just too sensitive…
Or maybe broken.

Alot of us have felt this way before. You’re not broken. You’re burnt out.
And your hormones are waving a giant red flag.

When your nervous system is constantly in overdrive,
When cortisol’s in charge, and your oestrogen and progesterone are out of place—
The tiniest thing feels like a personal attack.

If you experience symptoms like:
-Brain fog
-Mood swings
-Gut issues
-Zero patience
-Random tears

This isn’t just “PMS.”
It’s your body yelling: “I need a breather.”

If you’ve been feeling like this lately and thinking,
“Something’s just off and I can’t explain it”—You don’t have to keep guessing.

Ever catch yourself snapping over the smallest thing—like someone breathing too loud or the kettle boiling too slowly—and wonder, "What the hell is wrong with me?"

You used to be more patient. You could let things slide.
But now? Every little thing feels like the last straw.

Here’s the truth, love: it’s not that you’re dramatic. It’s that your nervous system is fried. And your hormones are copping it too.

Let’s talk stress, hormones and why you feel like you're running on fumes
When stress becomes your normal—work, kids, deadlines, bills, you name it—your nervous system stays stuck in fight or flight mode.
That constant go-go-go starts to chip away at your emotional resilience.

What you might be calling “moodiness” is actually your body waving a red flag, saying, “Hey, I need a break.”

Cortisol is running the show—and not in a good way
Cortisol is your main stress hormone.
It’s meant to help in emergencies, but when it’s being pumped out 24/7, it throws your whole system off—especially other hormones like oestrogen and progesterone.

The result?
You feel on edge. You cry over toilet paper ads. You get snappy, anxious, and then feel guilty for reacting like that.

It’s exhausting—and you’re not imagining it.

How nervous system dysregulation actually feels:
You snap over “nothing”

You feel restless or can’t switch off

Everything feels too much

You’re crying more than usual

You’re worn out but can’t sleep properly

Sound familiar?

You’re not broken. You’re burnt out.
This isn’t “just how you are.”
It’s your body trying to cope with too much, for too long. And now it’s begging you to slow down.

You don’t need to push through. You need support—and the right tools to bring your body back to balance.

Here’s what actually helps (no fluff):
✔️ Slow, screen-free mornings—sip your tea, breathe, ground yourself
✔️ Walking outside, barefoot if you can
✔️ Protein-rich brekkies to keep your blood sugar steady
✔️ Saying “no” without guilt
✔️ Quality sleep > doom-scrolling
✔️ Learning how to regulate your nervous system day by day

Feeling like a live wire lately?
You’re not “too emotional.” You’re not weak.
Your hormones and nervous system are just screaming for attention.

Let’s fix that.

Do you ever get pre-irritated?
Like… no one’s said anything yet, but you already know it’s going to get on your nerves?

It’s like your body’s on edge, waiting for someone to breathe wrong so you can snap.
And deep down, you’re thinking, “I swear I wasn’t always like this.”

But here’s the thing—
It’s not just the kids, the mess, the mental load, or the never-ending to-do list.
It’s also your hormones.

When your nervous system’s burnt out and your cortisol is peaking before you even get out of bed, everything feels louder, heavier, and harder.

And that “pre-irritation” you feel?
It’s your body waving a red flag, asking for rest, regulation, and realignment.

You’re not crazy. You’re not mean.
You’re just maxed out.

Let’s talk about what your body’s actually trying to tell you—before the next meltdown hits.

Do I Need Hormone Therapy?

Perimenopause can bring a whole range of symptoms—hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings and more—that can really affect your everyday life. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is one option, but it’s important to weigh up the pros, cons, and alternatives so you can make the right choice for you.

What Is HRT?

HRT involves topping up the body’s hormones with oestrogen, or a mix of oestrogen and progesterone, to help ease menopausal symptoms. It comes in different forms like tablets, patches, gels, sprays, and vaginal creams.

Pros of HRT
• Effective Symptom Relief: HRT is very effective at easing hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and trouble sleeping.
• Bone Health: It helps keep your bones strong and lowers the risk of osteoporosis.
• Mood and Cognitive Benefits: Some women find it helps improve their mood and mental clarity.
• Heart Health: If started before age 60 or within 10 years of menopause, HRT may help reduce your risk of heart disease.

Cons of HRT
• Health Risks: There may be an increased risk of conditions like breast cancer, blood clots, stroke, or gallbladder issues, especially if used long-term - especially with oral oestrogen. Transdermal oestrogen has been shown to be a lot safer.

• Side Effects: Some women may experience bloating, tender breasts, nausea, or changes in mood.
• Not Right for Everyone: If you have a history of certain cancers, blood clots or liver disease, HRT may not be suitable for you.

Alternatives to HRT

If HRT doesn’t suit you—or if you’d prefer to avoid it—there are other ways to manage perimenopausal symptoms:
• Lifestyle Changes: Regular exercise, eating well, managing stress, and getting enough sleep can really help.
• Non-Hormonal Medications: Some antidepressants (SSRIs/SNRIs), gabapentin, or clonidine may reduce hot flushes.
• Herbal Remedies: Black cohosh, red clover and soy isoflavones may help, though results vary from person to person.
• Complementary Therapies: Acupuncture, yoga, and CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) can be helpful for some women.

Making the Decision

Whether or not to try HRT is a personal decision that should be made with your doctor, considering:
• How Severe Are Your Symptoms?
• Your Medical and Family History
• Your Preferences – Are you open to medical treatment or prefer a more natural approach?

In conclusion, HRT can be a great support during perimenopause, but it’s not the only option out there. Understanding what’s available helps you make an informed choice that’s right for your body, lifestyle and health.

Somewhere along the way, rest got mistaken for weakness. But if you’re in your 40s and riding the wild wave of perimenopause—sleep isn’t just a luxury, it’s your superpower.

Between the 3am wake-ups, night sweats, and anxiety spirals, your body is literally begging for restoration.

Hormones like estrogen and progesterone that once helped you drift off peacefully? They’re now on a rollercoaster—leaving you wired at night and wrecked by morning.

Here’s the truth:
You’re not being dramatic. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re going through real hormonal shifts that affect your sleep, your mood, and your energy.

So yes, nap if you can. Skip that late-night scroll. Create a wind-down ritual.
Because prioritising sleep is no longer optional—it’s how you show up for yourself.

In this season of life, rest isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a bold act of self-care.

Sweet dreams, warrior woman. You’ve earned them.

If you’ve lost your appetite today… I think I've found it!
Hormones messing with your hunger cues again? You’re not imagining it.
Perimenopause is a wild ride, but with the right knowledge and support, you can navigate it feeling more empowered and less confused.

Your appetite isn’t broken—your hormones are just busy shifting. Be gentle with yourself.

Ladies, Perimenopause is a whole journey—physically, mentally, and emotionally. And while there’s plenty of advice out there, not all of it is helpful (or kind).

If you’re somewhere between “Am I losing it?” and “Why does everything suddenly feel harder?”—you’re not alone.
Here are 5 things I don’t recommend doing during this season of transition:

1. Ignoring Your Symptoms
“It's just part of getting older.”
How many times have we heard that?
But here’s the thing: Brain fog, mood swings, irregular cycles, hot flashes—those aren’t just random annoyances. They’re your body waving a big flag saying, “Help me out here!”
Don’t ignore the signs. Listen and respond.

2. Pushing Through Without Rest
You are not lazy. You are tired—and there’s a reason.
Hormonal shifts can leave you completely drained, even when you haven’t done much.
Rest is not a luxury. It’s a necessity. Honour your body by slowing down when it asks you to.

3. Relying Only on Birth Control for Balance
Yes, hormonal birth control can help with symptom management—but it’s not a magic fix.
It often masks what’s really going on underneath.
Real, sustainable support includes nutrition, lifestyle shifts, managing stress, and looking at the bigger picture.

4. Dieting & Over-Exercising
We’ve been told to “just eat less and move more,” especially when the weight starts creeping up.
But extreme diets and punishing workouts can backfire—hard.
Your body needs nourishment, not punishment. Movement is medicine, but so is kindness.

5. Going Through It Alone
Perimenopause can feel isolating—especially if no one around you is talking about it.
But just because it’s not on everyone’s feed doesn’t mean it’s not real.
You’re not “too young,” and you’re definitely not “too dramatic.”
Find a supportive community, talk to your GP, share your experience—it truly helps.

The truth is:
Perimenopause is tough, but you’re tougher.
This season isn’t meant to be survived in silence or confusion.
You deserve support, answers, and solutions that honour your body and your journey.

💛 Save this for the tough days—and tag a friend who might need this reminder too.
