Mood swings. Anxiety. Rage. A depressed mood that came out of nowhere. If any of those words have been describing your life lately, and they never did before, I want you to hear this: this is not who you are becoming. π€
Your hormones are shifting. And they are not just affecting your ovaries and your cycle. They are affecting your brain. The irritability, the feelings of doom and gloom, the sense that you just do not feel like yourself anymore. These are recognized symptoms of the menopausal transition that have been dismissed and misdiagnosed for far too long.
You are not alone. And there are real tools, both medical and lifestyle, that can help you feel like yourself again. Medications can help. But so too can a walk outside, reducing processed foods, and addressing the stress that has been quietly building. β¨
Save this for a moment when you need the reminder. And send it to someone who has been struggling to explain what she is going through.
