Why Don't I Feel Like Myself?
"I cry all the time now..." "I don't recognize myself anymore!"
"Don't touch me!" "I hate what I see when I look in the mirror."
Perimenopause and menopause can be a challenging time for many women. You might feel like a total stranger in your own skin, with uncontrollable mood swings and unexpected physical changes...such as that belly that seems to have appeared out of nowhere! However, you are not alone in this experience, and you can find your way back to yourself again!
Reproductive Health Concerns for Women
Perimenopause
Hot flashes? Mood swings? Brain fog? Weight gain? These symptoms...and more...are often the first signs that a woman is entering perimenopause. Women can feel irritable, depressed, emotional, overwhelmed, anxious...all because of the hormone fluctuations that occur during this transitional period.
Menopause
Urinary incontinence? Vaginal dryness? Fatigue? Insomnia? Once a woman is in menopause, the female hormones have dropped significantly and will remain that way. This change can cause both physical and emotional challenges for women. It's not just a loss of a period...sometimes it's a loss of identity.
There is Hope!
While perimenopause and menopause are a natural part of a woman's life, the experience itself can feel unnatural and complicated. Sadly, many women aren't prepared for this "change", and they feel completely blindsided by it. As such, this life stage is often filled with complicated emotions and unexpected physical changes. While you can't stop perimenopause from occurring, you can find a way to make the transition into menopause more manageable. How, you might ask? Good question!
