I think looking back knowing what I know now about menopause as a whole was that I experienced a fairly standard peri menopause and transition to post menopause. Until I didn't.
Thanks for sharing your post menopause experiences. You're right, it's framed as this Nirvana, once you're through peri and that mad,.one day of menopause, the world is supposed to be a wonderful.place again, post menopause. It's refreshing to hear someone say that it might not be. I'm 7 years peri and thought I was post, until my GP changed my HRT mix and that triggered a period about 5 days before the magical 12 months was up, so, in all honesty. I've got no idea what part of the bloody menopause cycle I'm in now!!
Thank you for sharing and I’m sorry for what you have been through too. I can very much relate and finding out that menopause can be more challenging for neurodivergent women has made so much sense of my struggles. I agree we need more openness on the realness of how rough it can be, less generic stuff that makes us feel crazy when our experience seems abnormally hard ❤️
Thankyou Sophie. It’s been a very mixed bag especially when ADHD became part of that journey but I can say this point of my life I finally feel really me ❤️

Definitely not a freak and definitely not alone. Thanks so much for sharing your story. 💜
Thankyou. I’m going to start writing soon about how it was a precursor to my ADHD diagnosis.
Looking forward to reading more of your writings!

I am so glad to hear that, that part is incredibly freeing isn't it?
Sorry for what you've been through, sounds tough. I was shocked to see the AI image, but I guess I shouldn't be!
Thanks, Sue .. I appreciate that. Post menopause is much kinder to me.
Shocked but not shocked about the AI generated image ...yup.
