My Mom's Going Through Menopause and Won't Talk to Me 😢

I'm at my wit's end here. My mom started going through menopause about six months ago, and it's like she's become a completely different person. She used to call me every other day just to chat, but now she barely responds to my texts 📱 Last month, I invited her to my daughter's birthday party - her own granddaughter's party - and she just said she "wasn't feeling up to it." She's declined every family dinner since then, and when I try to visit, she acts like I'm bothering her 💔 I know menopause is tough, and I want to give her space to deal with whatever she's going through. But I miss my mom so much! It's like she's checked out of our entire family, and I don't know if I should keep trying or just wait it out. Have any of you dealt with a parent going through menopause who just... disappeared emotionally? I could really use some advice from people who've been through this. How do you support someone who doesn't want to be supported? 😭 #menopause #family #motherdaughter #FamilyRelationships

My Doctors Never Told Me- it wasn’t just lupus, it was menopause😳

For years, I blamed my lupus for joint pain, insomnia, hair loss, and depression. Doctors just kept prescribing prednisone without mentioning hormone therapy as an option. When I finally tried HRT in my 40s, the transformation was MIRACULOUS! Turns out many of my symptoms weren't lupus at all—they were menopause!I'd always thought menopause just meant no more periods. Nobody explained how it affects your entire body and mind. Now with proper hormone treatment, I feel renewed, happier, and yes—my sex life returned! If you're experiencing unexplained symptoms in midlife, especially with a chronic condition, ask specifically about HRT. Sharing in case it helps someone else connect the dots. #Aging #Menopause #HormoneHealth #HRT

How I Manage Peri Mood Swings (No Gatekeeping) 💡

Posting this because I wish I had found something like it when I first started spiraling. Around 40, perimenopause hit me hard—constant anxiety, waves of depression, and just not feeling like me. After a lot of research and trial and error, here’s what’s helped: 1️⃣ 5mg testosterone cypionate (2x/week) 2️⃣ Daily magnesium, vitamin D, L-theanine, ashwagandha, methylene blue in OJ, and NAD+ 3️⃣ Energy healing (biofield tuning), zero people-pleasing, and strict boundaries None of it was overnight. But with consistency, it’s changed everything. If you’re struggling, don’t wait—educate, experiment (safely), and listen to your body. Hope this helps someone else feel less alone. #Aging #Menopause #MentalWellbeing #WomenOver40
