This one was difficult to make. I’ve spoken about a lot of the physical side of menopause, but the part I’ve found hardest to talk about has been my mental health. I have felt incredibly low. Depressed. Unlike myself. And at times I’ve struggled to understand how something hormonal can affect your mind so deeply. I almost didn’t post this, because saying it out loud feels very vulnerable. But that’s also exactly why I wanted to. This is my Menopause & Me series, and I don’t want to only share the easier parts. If I’m going through this, I know there will be other women quietly going through it too, wondering what on earth is happening to them. So this is me talking about the bit I’ve found the hardest. If this resonates with you, you’re definitely not the only one. 🤍 #Menopause #MenopauseMentalHealth #Perimenopause WomensHealth #MentalHealth #Hormones
