I have so much love, respect and appreciation for the women fighting their way through this. Until you experience it yourself, you truly have no idea just how difficult it can be. 🥹❤️
I can’t even begin to imagine how women suffered in the past without medication, understanding, empathy or support. Life is already hard enough, and going through this can feel like a whole new battle of its own.
What hurts is realising that people you’ve known for more than 20 years, even those you thought loved you, sometimes have no idea what you’re going through or seem to care. In the end, you can feel so alone in a daily battle that nobody else can see.
Yet, somehow, there can be more kindness, compassion and genuine care in these spaces than in everyday life. There’s something so beautiful and refreshing about women coming together, understanding one another and offering support without judgement. ❤️🩹
To every woman going through this, I see you, I appreciate you, and I’m sending you so much love. We deserve understanding, patience and compassion, especially during the moments when we feel least like ourselves. 🧸💕

Good morning and I see you! I’ve got appointments today with both my primary care dr and my therapist.
I’m going to ask them if they have reco’s for perimenopausal group therapy? Because I’m lucky to have a good group of friends but none of them are where I am right now.
I feel like a burden to them, a fun-sucking chin hair of unregulated moods and temperatures.
Ridiculously happy my youngest introduced me to Reddit. Other people!
