Perimenopause isn’t just hot flashes and irregular cycles—it’s also mood swings, anxiety, brain fog, and even depression. And yet, we rarely talk about the mental and emotional toll it takes.
Hormonal changes during this time can deeply affect our brain chemistry, sleep, stress tolerance, and overall sense of well-being. If you’ve felt “off” or like you’re not quite yourself lately, you’re not alone—and you’re not imagining it.
💬 Mood swings?
💬 Sudden anxiety?
💬 Tearful for no clear reason?
💬 Feeling overwhelmed or disconnected?
These can all be part of perimenopause.
Please know: this is valid. This is real. And help is out there—whether through therapy, lifestyle changes, support groups, or medical care.
Let’s normalize this conversation and support one another. ❤️
If you’re going through it, you’re not alone. And if you’ve come out the other side, your story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.
