How many times have you thought “I’ll wait and see if it gets worse” before addressing your symptoms?
Here’s what we’ve been conditioned to believe: that our discomfort isn’t valid until it becomes unbearable. That we need to prove we’re suffering “enough” before we deserve care.
Brain fog slowing you down? “Maybe I’m just stressed.”
Sleep disrupted every night? “I should try melatonin first.”
Low libido affecting your relationship? “It’s probably just my age.”
Weight creeping up despite doing everything right? “I need to try harder.”
This is what happens when women’s healthcare normalizes suffering as “just part of the journey.”
You don’t need to wait until things are falling apart before you’re “allowed” to seek support. Your body is giving you signals now—and those signals matter now.
