Are you tired of the gaslighting?
Maybe it is your partner asking if it is “that time of the month” every time you get irritable, or steering clear when it is clear you are having yet another hot flash. Maybe it is your workplace when you need to take sick time again this month. Maybe it is your doctor when they shrug and say, “It’s just the hormones,” and urge you to accept a prescription for more hormones to remedy the issue. Or maybe it is well meaning people who think you are making excuses when you say you really don’t feel up for getting together.
But you know blaming it on the hormones or pretending like you don’t have a chronic condition doesn’t make it any easier to cope. You are looking for real tools and strategies to make it easier to make it through your days.
“When women take care of their health, they become their best friend.”
