"๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐คโ๐๐ก ๐ผ'๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐๐ข๐โ."
If you've had that thought during perimenopause โ
I want you to know: I hear you.
And you are not alone.
One of the most difficult and least talked about aspects of perimenopause isn't a physical symptom.
It's the feeling of being completely misunderstood.
Your partner may not understand why you're more emotional lately.
Family members may wonder why you're struggling with things you've always managed easily.
Colleagues may have no idea of the effort it takes just to get through the day โ while looking like you're completely fine.
And because so many of the changes are happening internally โ the anxiety, the overwhelm, the exhaustion, the shift in who you feel you are โ the people around you often simply cannot see them.
This can leave you feeling isolated.
Frustrated.
Profoundly alone.
And then comes the thought that so many women describe:
"๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐คโ๐๐ก ๐ผ'๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐๐ข๐โ."
What I want you to know is this:
You are not imagining it. What you're feeling is valid.
The changes you are experiencing are real โ hormonally, neurologically, emotionally. Your brain, body, and nervous system are all adapting to shifting hormone levels.
You are not being dramatic.
You are not failing.
You are moving through a significant transition in body and mind.
And you deserve to be understood.
๐ Save this. Send it to someone who needs to know they are seen today.
๐ Have you felt misunderstood during perimenopause โ by someone close to you, or even by yourself? Tell me below.
I'm creating a supportive space specifically for women navigating perimenopause โ a community where you can feel understood, connected, and supported by women who truly get what you're going through. Join the priority list to be first to hear when the Perimenopause Sanctuary opens.
