What. Is. Happening. To. Me.
The insomnia.
The mood swings.
The brain fog.
A couple of years ago, I was exercising, giving it my all at work, taking care of my family, keeping the house clean-ish, and a million other things.
Where did that confident woman go?
Hello, perimenopause.
Perimenopause is more than hot flashes and irregular periods.
It can have a profound effect on your mental health. Fluctuating hormones can contribute to mood swings, anxiety, depression, stress sensitivity, and poor sleep.
You may wonder how you’ll keep up with everything - your career, your relationships, your sense of purpose - when you feel so unlike yourself.
Therapy can help you reconnect with the parts of you that are strong and resilient. And, by understanding the emotional and psychological effects of this transition, you can take steps to manage the symptoms and prioritize your well-being.
Imagine feeling like you can handle the day again.
Perimenopausal Anxiety
Your 40s started off smoothly. Then the heart palpitations began, or that heavy chest feeling. The occasional rush that felt like panic. Any tense situation, and you’re sweating. Why is driving suddenly nerve wracking? And the lack of sleep isn’t helping either.
Your doctor says you’re physically healthy. But something is off.
Why do I feel anxious all the time?
Therapy can help you rediscover calm and clarity, even during this transition.
Perimenopausal Depression
You’re exhausted - both your body and mind feel drained. You alternate between being irritated by everything and everybody, to feeling sad and empty. You look forward to the end of the day, so you can curl up and hide. If only your brain could let you sleep through the night. Somedays I even wonder why I’m here.
What is happening to me?
It is possible to find hope and feel connected to others again.
Perimenopausal Symptoms
Which will show up today - rage or tears?
How will I fake my way through my brain fog today at work?
I seem to have forgotten how to sleep.
Where did my libido go?
Why am I suddenly feeling old?
I like my couch now more than my friends.
And yet, it doesn’t have to stay this way. Together, we can help you feel like yourself again.
