Postpartum Anxiety to Perimenopause: Why No One Connects the Dots for Women

Added: 2026-05-06

[00:00:00]Yeah. I mean, even the postpartum depression stuff, like there there weren't women talking about it. They were talking about like how wonderful it was to have like a newborn baby, and I was like, I can't even walk them stairs without like fear of tripping. And it was it was so hard. And then per menopause hit, and I just thought I was going crazy. I I'm like, h, I'm so sorry you married me. Like I you deserved like somebody who's like happy and can handle life, and I'm so sorry. And I was like apologizing to my kids. I was like, "You're you have a mom that like can't deal." And then I went to my doctor, bless her heart, she's like, "Yeah, this is normal."

[00:00:39]And but I walked out with nothing.

[00:00:41]>> You know, normal means common, not not you should deal with this.
