“ambushed by a sudden inability to deal with stress”
wow, exactly.
This is fascinating, thank you for sharing! I’ve only very recently learned all my “I’m def going crazy” new traits I was investigating are perimenopause, and that I’m not losing my mind or “definitely dying” (anxiety is winning as one of the top symptoms). But I had not yet tied my complete inability to handle even the smallest stressor to it yet!
I was a freaking Major Incident Manager for 10 years, someone people called in a major crisis when things were really going sideways at my large company, and now I unravel if my kid forgets their thermos or spills their milk. This is helpful, thank you! It’s unfortunate that it sounds like finally getting onto HRT won’t fix this piece, but at least it helps to have an explanation
MHT/HRT will help with a lot of symptoms, but you’re right, it’s not going to make everything feel better all the time. Exercising regularly definitely helps and of course getting a good night’s sleep, but we know that’s not always possible either.
