Why Women Suffer in Silence (And Why You Absolutely Shouldn’t)

Ladies, can we all just take a moment to acknowledge the absolute chaos that is perimenopause and menopause? One day, you’re fine, and the next, you’re sweating through your sheets at 3 AM, crying because a dog in a commercial was just too darn cute. Your jeans don’t fit, your patience is nonexistent, and your body is pulling stunts you didn’t sign up for. And yet—so many of us suffer alone. Why? Because we’ve been conditioned to just "deal with it." Well, not anymore.
You Are Not Crazy—Your Hormones Are Just Throwing a Rager
If you’ve ever asked yourself, Am I losing my mind?, the answer is no. Your hormones, however, are on an extended vacation, sipping margaritas while leaving you to fend for yourself. The mood swings, brain fog, weight gain, random bouts of rage, and the feeling that your body has been hijacked? All completely normal. Infuriating, but normal.
But instead of talking about it, so many of us keep it to ourselves. Maybe we think we’re the only ones going through it. Maybe we don’t want to seem like we’re "complaining." Or maybe we just don’t have the energy to explain to someone why we simultaneously want to nap and climb Mount Everest.
Newsflash: Suffering in Silence Is So Last Season
Menopause and perimenopause are not a "just get through it" situation. This is your body demanding some serious attention, and guess what? You deserve to take care of yourself without guilt. This isn’t about "toughing it out." It’s about surviving this hormonal circus with your sanity (mostly) intact.
Taking care of yourself is not selfish. It’s necessary. You wouldn’t tell someone with a broken leg to "walk it off," so why do we expect ourselves to power through something that literally affects our entire body, brain, and emotions?
The Power of Community (And Laughing Through the Chaos)
Here’s the truth: you are NOT alone. Millions of women are sweating, forgetting why they walked into rooms, and wondering when their body decided to betray them. And you know what helps? Talking about it. Laughing about it. Having a safe space where you can ask, "Is anyone else experiencing this, or am I just making things up?" Spoiler alert: you’re not making it up.
That’s why we created a Facebook group just for women like you. A place to share stories, ask questions, vent about the weirdness, and support each other through the madness. No judgment, no embarrassment—just real talk, real support, and maybe a few memes to keep us all sane.
