I love this! I'd like to have a print of it to frame and put in my office.

I'm so thankful my boyfriend has been willing to listen and learn as well... I haven't had radical personality changes but other symptoms have been debilitating at times.  This topic is so far in the dark that not a single woman I have met was prepared for it or knew really how to handle it, and the professionals are not helpful.  I prefer natural routes with herbs and such but wish that the entire subject wasn't so underground.  It's absurd really.  This is a phase of a woman's reproductive cycle how can it be so unimportant to society? Oh wait.  Because that's the thing with women's issues lol!

One of the things that happens in connection with menopause is that our stress threshold changes.

It can be really scary and help to create the feeling that you do not know yourself. You are no longer the one who can do it all.

Maybe you also experience that your threshold has become lower?
You may find that you are overwhelmed more quickly, can not accommodate too many people, can not handle so many tasks, that small everyday things that you usually can do without problems, can be completely unmanageable. But why is it happening?

There are many reasons why stress is a very common companion for menopause. My experience is that many women turn up to OA in a state of stress. Throughout a long life we ​​have been there for everything and everyone, overheard our own needs and not listened to our feelings.
We do not learn that it is not healthy for the body and that it can have consequences. But it has, dear ones. So when the body begins to change, as it naturally does, it is partly a burden for the body but there are also hormonal changes that cause our ability to handle stress to change. But is this a bad thing?

In my optics, it's actually really good. It is the body's way of saying no, of rebelling. It can no longer continue to exceed the limits of its capacity and resources. That is often what we have done. Therefore, in other words, you are calibrating your stress threshold. If you have encountered a high degree of stress, then your threshold is most likely lower now than before. The body is on its knees and must gather resources to get up to what is your normal level - the normal stress threshold.

But since many of us have exceeded the normal threshold many times, for example by overhearing our own needs, say yes when we mean no, bake a cake for the kids' class even if we needed to relax,  make the house shine even if it was better for us to relax lying on the sofa - yes you know yourself all the places we as women often do more than is really needed - then there will simply be a mess in your stress starch.

My point is that when we experience that the stress threshold is lowered in connection with meno pause/peri meno pause then it is a good thing, an opportunity to be more gentle with yourself, not push yourself more but listen to yourself and rediscover what is your normal threshold. Not SuperWoman's threshold (if she has one at all?).

So how are you with your new stress threshold?
It is primarily about you having to accept that it is where it is.
Next, there are probably a lot of adjustments in your mindset, your thoughts, and your perception of what you should be doing.

That's why I'm so excited about peri meno pause/meno pause. it shows us the way. It's a new road that many of us have not walked before and it's scary, it's unsafe but it's an absolutely fantastic road if you dare.

There is so much light, so beautiful views and so many depths and a whole new way of being in life waiting for you.

So how do you feel about your stress threshold? Has it changed and how have you adjusted to it?

hey, i had started taking maca root powder too.  i read that you are not meant to take it every day or the effectiveness wears off.  i dont know if it is true, but i was thinking i would maybe take it two weeks on and two weeks off but was trying to figure out what is the best time in my cycle to take it (altho my cycle can hardly be called a cycle anymore, so i dont know!)  then i found this stuff on amazon called Balanced Femme (Natural PMS and Menopause Support for Hot Flashes with Black Cohosh).  it had thousands of reviews and good comments, so i tried it, and it really does seem to level me out.  it also contains maca root and some other natural things as well. i hope i don`t OD on Maca!
