For women in the change
You are not losing yourself. You are becoming the next version.
Perimenopause and menopause can run for a decade and barely get mentioned in a single doctor's appointment. This page won't fix that — but it can hand you language, reliefs, and people who actually study this.
A truth, slowly
You are not losing your mind. Your hormones are renegotiating a 40-year contract.
Small reliefs for right now
Cotton sheets, a fan pointed at your chest, a glass of ice water on the nightstand. Set the bedroom 3°F cooler than feels normal. Sleep is the foundation everything else stands on.
