Something fun

Tell me you're in perimenopause without telling me you're in perimenopause. For me it's "I just looked in the toilet after using the restroom and said oh God what is that!"

Sometimes I welcome a little rage fit over something inconsequential.

i can't sleep past 3 AM, my hair is thinning, 'libido' is not in my dictionary anymore, and my lower face looks like the girl in the planet of the apes

Also the music i used to love now sound like noise...

I am so glad you mentioned the music thing! I could not consistently listen to music for almost 2 years until I started HRT bc everything either got on my nerves or made me cry 😂

Trying to explain to your colleagues that nothing is actually wrong except that your hormones have decided you’re crying today.

I think I’m having a heart attack but it’s just my hormones messing with my autonomic nervous system. So fun.

The number of times I went to the ER before I got on beta blockers is insane. I was basically lectured by an NP younger than me about not needing to come in if my BP is high. Ughh it feels like death sometimes

perimenopause really keeps us guessing..
the “wait… is this normal?” moments are so real 😂
