Perimenopause: Navigating the Metamorphosis Within

Hi everyone,I'm Maria, new here. A friend recommended this app to me as a place to find friends and connect with people who are experiencing similar issues. I have a beautiful life, but recently, for no apparent reason, my life has become a rollercoaster in every sense. I guess this is the “welcome to the perimenopause stage”Honestly, perimenopause sucks; it affects your life and your family. It feels like being in a metamorphosis where I don't recognize myself anymore. Some days are fine, while others are not.I recently started taking birth control pills, which sometimes I think help, but then again, it's a very lonely journey. I don't know anyone in my circle who is going through this, or at least nobody I can talk to about it. I'm trying to see the light, but it's hard. Sometimes I feel bipolar—one day, I recover enough energy to do all my usual things, and the next day, I'm crying, finding no reason to smile. I have a beautiful family, a house, a job, and yet I feel so alone in this journey.I'm leaving this message here in case anyone relates. If someone wants to connect, I would love to meet you.
