How it's going living with Peri.......
You know, life with perimenopause feels a lot like dealing with a mischievous toddler who just discovered sugar. One minute, I’m enjoying a peaceful afternoon, and the next, Peri decides to throw a tantrum, making me rage over the fact that my favorite shirt is suddenly two sizes smaller. I swear, I’m about to serve Peri with a restraining order! “No more hot flashes in public, and keep your mood swings to yourself!” Seriously, it’s like Peri is trying to audition for a role in a soap opera—complete with dramatic highs and lows, unexpected tears, and the occasional, “Why did I walk into this room?” moment. And let’s not forget the brain fog. I’d be a great detective if I could remember what I was supposed to be investigating! So here I am, armed with snacks, a fan, and a legal document, ready to take on my unpredictable frenemy, Peri.
Welcome to Q&A time with Peri, where her mood swings spark unpredictable questions and laughter!
Why does my body feel like a malfunctioning carnival ride during perimenopause?
Because Peri is the ringleader of the hormone circus! One minute you’re on the Ferris wheel of serenity, and the next, you’re careening down the rollercoaster of rage. Hold on tight!
Is it normal to sweat like I'm training for a marathon when I’m just sitting on the couch?
Absolutely! Your body is just trying to remind you that even though you’re not running a marathon, you can still sweat like a champion. Just think of it as your new “sweat-at-home” workout!
Why do I suddenly crave chocolate at 2 AM while plotting Peri’s downfall?
It’s a classic case of “chocolate therapy”! When your emotions are all over the place, chocolate is like that loyal friend who never judges you—just indulges you. Plus, it’s essential for planning your restraining order against Peri!
Is it normal to forget what I walked into a room for?
Of course! That’s just your brain’s way of taking a little vacation. It’s on a much-needed break from the chaos that is perimenopause. Just don’t forget to pack your snacks!
How many times can I complain about Peri before people get tired of hearing it?
As many times as it takes! You’re basically a warrior fighting against the hormonal invader. If anyone rolls their eyes, just remind them that you’re keeping it real and saving them from future hot flashes!
Can I officially blame Peri for my clumsiness?
Absolutely! If you trip over your own feet, just tell everyone it’s Peri’s fault. She’s probably trying to distract you from the reality of the situation. “Oops, sorry! Peri made me do it!”
