Perimenopause and trauma

If anyone else is experiencing a resurfacing of trauma symptoms, it could be influenced by hormonal changes. I have been driven crazy by perimenopause and suddenly had ocd-like symptoms more than I ever have before as well as attachment related trauma acting up. I have done soooooo much therapy for my past so I am fuckin annoyed that my trauma is back in full force.

I listened to a great podcast called Perimenopause WTF? the episode: Perimenopause and Trauma. It explains everything! So yes we are having perimenopause symptoms, and some of us are ALSO experiencing a surfacing or resurfacing of old trauma we thought we’d dealt with.

Bad news sisters. Gotta deal with even more bullshit. I am starting to think perimenopause is the biggest secret killer of women. How many women in their 40s feel like they can’t take life anymore? it needs to be dealt with. This is a world-wide crisis! Women we need to stand up for proper health care and research into us, half the fucking world population! Makes me so mad.
