Why do I feel like a different person during menopause? 🌀
Honestly? I felt like a stranger in my own body. One moment I was calm, the next I was snapping at my partner for breathing too loudly. Menopause shakes things up because your estrogen levels are fluctuating, which affects your brain and mood. It’s not in your head—it’s in your hormones. Just know:Read more
Honestly? I felt like a stranger in my own body. One moment I was calm, the next I was snapping at my partner for breathing too loudly. Menopause shakes things up because your estrogen levels are fluctuating, which affects your brain and mood. It’s not in your head—it’s in your hormones. Just know: it’s temporary, and you’re not alone.

Absolutely. I used to cry over commercials and wake up anxious for no reason. It felt like PMS times ten. The emotional ups and downs are real, and they’re often due to hormonal shifts that affect serotonin, your feel-good chemical.

Yes, it’s so normal. I remember sitting in my car wondering, “Who even am I anymore?” When your body changes, your identity feels like it’s shifting too.

What helped me was giving myself permission to rest, cry, vent, laugh, and not have it all together. Journaling, therapy, magnesium supplements, and a good support circle made a huge difference.

I hear you. I’ve been there too—heart racing, words stuck in my throat, and hours later still replaying the scene. What helped me was practicing short pauses.

You’ll get better at it with time—it’s a skill, not a personality trait.

That’s such a common feeling—and honestly, a tough balance. I’ve had moments where I froze, and others where I said something I regretted.

That’s such a common feeling—and honestly, a tough balance. I’ve had moments where I froze, and others where I said something I regretted. What worked for me is having a few calm phrases ready, like “I’d prefer if we could speak respectfully,” or “Let’s not go there.” It sets a boundary without throwing fuel on the fire. You can be direct and still stay cool.

It’s so frustrating, right? I used to take that kind of behavior really personally, like maybe I had done something wrong. But over time, I realized most rudeness is about the other person, not you.

Totally been there. Sometimes I stayed silent and felt like I let myself down, and other times I spoke up and it turned into unnecessary drama.

It used to drive me crazy. I’d be exhausted from work, only to hear thumping music or loud talking through the walls or windows. I tried to ignore it for weeks — thought maybe it was just a phase.

It used to drive me crazy. I’d be exhausted from work, only to hear thumping music or loud talking through the walls or windows. I tried to ignore it for weeks — thought maybe it was just a phase. But when it started messing with my mood and sleep, I left a calm note on their door. Not angry, just honest. It was awkward, but it worked. Most people don’t realize they’re being that loud — until you respectfully point it out.

There was always something subtle — the side-eye, the pointed “jokes,” the petty stuff like blocking part of my driveway with their bins. I tried ignoring it, but it ate at me.

There was always something subtle — the side-eye, the pointed “jokes,” the petty stuff like blocking part of my driveway with their bins. I tried ignoring it, but it ate at me. One day I just said, “If something’s bothering you, let’s talk directly.” Not rude, just firm. That one conversation shifted everything. Still not best friends, but now at least it’s civil. I learned that ignoring bad behavior doesn’t make it disappear — it gives it room to grow.
