You’re not crazy. But you might have low progesterone.
We start losing progesterone in our mid-30s—sometimes earlier.
It’s the first hormone to dip in perimenopause.
But most women have no idea that’s what’s happening.
They just think they’re losing it.
Because here’s what low progesterone actually feels like:
Anxiety that comes out of nowhere
Waking up at 2AM, heart racing
Feeling “on edge” all the time, like your nervous system is stuck in overdrive
Heavy periods, shorter cycles, or spotting
Mood swings that make you feel like a stranger in your own body
Crying over the littlest things, snapping over nothing, and then guilt for days
Feeling exhausted—mentally, emotionally, spiritually—but unable to rest
Breast tenderness, bloating, insomnia, brain fog
It doesn’t scream hormones.
It screams: I’m overwhelmed. I’m reactive. I’m not myself.
And too many women are gaslighted about it, get put on antidepressants, or told to “just manage their stress”…
when what they really need is to restore their progesterone.
Progesterone is your calm, grounded, mothering hormone.
It helps you sleep. Helps you think clearly.
Helps you regulate your mood. Helps you bleed normally.
It’s the hormone that holds you together when the world’s coming undone.
So no—you're not crazy. You're not broken.
You might just be missing the thing your body needs to feel like you again.
Ask me anything about it. Let’s start naming what’s actually happening in our bodies.
