... including whether pregnant women really need dedicated skincare ranges, and the REAL reason why peri/menopausal women are all so tired/angry/forgetful...
Thank you for this, Claire. There are so many things I’d like to attribute to perimenopause: PCOS symptoms intensified, exhaustion, supersonic scent recognition, etc. It turns out that a lot of those symptoms are the same for neurodivergence… so I need to stop shaming myself for needing rest, quiet, and scheduled time where I don’t have hands on my body.
Claire, thank you for sharing my posts! I agree with everything you’re saying here. It’s not always perimenopause. But it’s such a convenient thing to blame, and most importantly, an easy thing to sell stuff for since the symptoms can be so nebulous/bothersome
I am tiredly nodding along to all of this on the train, whilst massaging my poorly shoulder and neck (trapped nerve? Pulled muscle in my first attempt at strength training? Who knows!). I’d like to stop berating myself for not remembering to do EVERYTHING, for not being a brilliant boss/colleague, for not being a mind reader when it comes to data in a spreadsheet, and for not finding much joy in anything at the moment. Apart from you! Thank you for saying all this, Claire. You do help so much. ☺️
