I coped with kids and a busy career, so why was I suddenly overwhelmed?

I related to this article a little too much. I, too, began to collapse under stress in my mid-40s.

Same! Still in it. Hoping I’ll get into the swing of older-age one of these days.

‘Menopause isn’t really that bad’…said no woman ever.

For those who are approaching or experiencing ‘the change’ (think reverse puberty), a time where hormone levels decline either through the aging process or by medical/surgical means.

Menopause and Perimenopause (the transitional time before Menopause) are unique to every person, and while there’s no one-size fits all, we support each other on this roller coaster ride of wacked out hormones, absurd mood swings and random sweaty hot flashes.

Be kind. Be respectful. We are all in this together!

RULES

1. All genders can post

We are all here to learn about menopause and how to help anyone experiencing menopause, so be supportive and respectful.

2. Don’t be a bully, creep, jerk or troll

This means no personal attacks, no misogyny, no misandry, ageism, racism, or otherwise hateful or disrespectful commentary.

3. Read the Wiki (wiki will be included shortly) and use the search tool before posting a new question

4. No selling products or services

You can recommend products/methods that work for you, but soliciting clients or patients is not allowed. No advertising or self-promotions, including using this sub to drive traffic elsewhere.

5. Research surveys/studies are allowed ONLY after contacting the mods with details of the survey (purpose of survey, academic associations, how will the data be used, privacy/confidentiality policy)

Mods will determine whether to approve the post or not. Those choosing to participate in surveys, must do so at their own risk.

6. No posting lab results

We are not a substitute for medical advice. Questions about your lab results should be directed to your medical professional. Hormonal tests are not an accurate diagnosing tool for perimenopause.

7. Selfie posts are only allowed in the Weekly Stickied Off-Topic thread.
