Imagine being 20 years into a successful career and suddenly questioning whether you’re actually any good at your job.
For that was part of her experience of perimenopause.
Her self-doubt became so intense that she started carrying a resignation letter around because she was convinced she was going to be fired.
Her confidence dropped, she questioned her friendships, her career and her own worth. She describes that time as feeling like a shadow of herself.
And this is a side of perimenopause we ALL need to talk about more.
Because alongside the physical symptoms, changes in your confidence and self-esteem can have a huge impact on how you experience your entire life can’t they?
We want to open up this conversation, so tell us:
Did perimenopause change the way you saw yourself? What did you notice first?
