Here we are again.
Rumination, second guessing everything, answering work related emails at midnight (when I didn’t have to).
Once I answered that email at midnight (which arrived way earlier than that), I knew it was time to call my doctor.
I set up a phone call, and we talked about my HRT and antidepressants.
It was decided that since there was room to move up on my antidepressants, we would go this route.
Tomorrow I start the new dose.
I’m hopeful this will work.
Perimenopause is doing me dirty and I am not a fan.
One thing I am grateful for is all the work I put in through therapy over the past few years to recognize when I hit my wall BEFORE it crumbles.
I’m not one to suffer in silence anymore. If I need help, I ask.
With the Fall ramping up and year end on its heels, I want to keep myself healthy mentally.
To help me physically, I need regular movement again. I have a bike (and it is a workout let me tell ya), taking marine collagen, and starting to consider yoga again.
Feeling like I am falling apart is no good, so one step at a time.
I have a follow up in two months.
As women, we really need to be louder about this stage of our life – and I am glad to see more of us out there speaking our truth.
Stay strong, we got this.
