We women over 40-50.
I started reading and watching podcasts about perimenopause, menopause. Well, yes, I'm going to be 49, so I have all kinds of experiences. And we also talk about the topic with those around me.
I grew up thinking that it was a taboo topic. As if it didn't exist or only affected a few women. Well, I mean it affects everyone, just in different ways.
At first, the data shocked me. A doctor - who specialized in this - said that there are about 100 symptoms. What?????!!!!! 😱
So if you feel that something has changed, then yes, it has changed.
If you go to the doctor, saying that you feel bad and he does a blood test and then says that everything is fine. And he sends you away. But you are bad and you are looking for what is wrong. Something has changed. You are not your old self.
And your environment also looks at you strangely.
And meanwhile, what happens is that while your body was programmed to have a baby, take care of your children, your husband, your family, now this era is over. Yes, of course you have a job, you have built a career. It no longer brings you joy to subordinate yourself to others. Maybe you didn't really want to. And now you are physically and mentally transforming. Full transformation. No, you are not hysterical - although many doctors around the world say this, unfortunately. While there has been very little scientific research on the subject so far.
And now you are going through this process alone, so that afterwards a woman is created that has existed before but was hidden. The "family program" was running in your brain. Now you come. You realize what you want, what you don't want. What you have had enough of. And you don't apologize for having your own needs. You need to pay attention to your health to an extent that you probably haven't done before. Because now you have to eat, sleep, rest, exercise differently.... If you didn't love your job so much, now you might hate it and change careers. Because the focus is on you. Finding your inner harmony. You're lucky if you have a husband who understands this and supports you. Because if he thinks you're stupid, he'll be in trouble. Many women file for divorce. Because she doesn't want to put up with everything anymore.
If you look at this age as a transformation on every level of your being, it's easier to accept. Start with this: don't judge yourself! Give yourself what you need. You might just want to be alone. Find something that would make you feel better. Maybe new things will come to mind now.
