Sorry, maliciousness was not my intention. I recently had a major hormonal change, and humor is my coping mechanism so it’s just me poking fun at my situation I suppose.
Is internalized misogyny not women's stuff? 🤔
I've had major relationship conflicts happen during hormonal changes, like switching birth control. Now I'm dealing with sleep deprivation that feels just like it 🫠
I relate to this! My hormones used to give me real emotional extremes. Once I got on birth control that went, but it was awful when it happened
I don't know specifically what you're going through, but I can relate. Perimenopause has been rough. Have a hug (I hope this is the right emoji) 🙇🏻♀️
For what it's worth agnus castus seems to help.
I'm intrigued...do you mind giving more info, like exactly what does it help with (brain fog, rage, anxiety, forgetfulness, night sweats, digestive issues)? Because I have all of the above!
It helps with anxiety/rage, but it took about two months. Night sweats seem to get worse and turn into morning sweats (and morning tiredness), but not unbearable. Did I mention anxiety is almost gone? No brain fog and digestive issues here, sorry to hear that you got the full Monty.
Visiting a specialist for PMDD also helped (thats where the agnus castus came from. It was either that or SSRIs so we tested a.c. first.)
Also there are no additional hormones from meat, we're is vegan. To me this helped with what I called the feelings-corckscrew (non native English speaker here, I don't know if this translates well).
Pls keep in mind, this is a sample size of one. Wish you all all the best, sending you a long, gentle virtual hug.
