@control.menopause: This is one of the hardest parts that people don’t talk about enough. Perimenopause doesn’t just show up physically, it quietly messes with how you see yourself. The confidence you used to have feels distant, your spark feels dulled, and suddenly things that once felt easy like socialising, leaving the house, or even holding a conversation feel exhausting. And that can be scary, especially if you’ve always been a people person. You start wondering where you went, or why you don’t recognise yourself anymore. But you’re not disappearing, this is your nervous system and hormones being under constant pressure. What makes it worse is isolating yourself through it. When you’re alone with these thoughts, they get louder. When you’re supported, they soften. That’s why connection matters so much in this phase, even when every part of you wants to retreat. You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. And you haven’t lost yourself forever. This season is brutal, but it’s temporary, and with the right support, understanding, and community, that spark finds its way back.
