Perimenopause isn’t a personal failure. 🤍
It’s a transition, and transitions are allowed to be confusing, emotional, and messy.
New-onset irritability or anxiety that suddenly feels “like you”?
Changes in desire, comfort, or connection that you didn’t see coming?
Low energy, brain fog, or a body that no longer responds the way it used to?
Fluctuations in estradiol, declining progesterone, and changes in testosterone affect mood, energy, and libido, often quietly and all at once.
Mistakes happen in this season because most women were never taught what perimenopause actually looks like or what to do next.
There is help. There are answers. And checking labs instead of blaming yourself is a powerful place to start.
Save this. Share it with someone who needs it. And be gentle with yourself here.
