๐ถ It's getting hot in here... ๐ถ And no, it ain't the weather. ๐ฅ๐
Hot flashes. Night sweats. Brain fog. Mood swings. Can't sleep, can't remember why you walked in the room, and crying at commercials, right?
Menopause is real, and for too long women have been told to just suck it up and push through. Especially Black women, who often start earlier, have more intense symptoms, and get taken less seriously when we speak up.
And let's be real, if you have ADHD, that drop in estrogen can make focus, memory, and emotions feel even harder to manage. You're not losing your mind. Your body and brain are going through a major shift.
You deserve to be heard, supported, and cared for in this season. Talk to your provider. Ask the questions. Advocate for yourself. This ain't the end of anything. It's a whole new chapter. ๐
