It took me a while to understand what was happening with my body why am I not able to fall sound sleep these days have to literally drag myself to the kitchen every morning to do the routine household chores. What I once enjoyed doing had started bothering me now.
Have I been sleeping for too long in the afternoon? Do I need to see a doctor for putting on oodles of weight. Why am I feeling listless and fatigued all the time.doI need to see a psychologist for my mood swings or am I slipping into depression. Why is no one interested in me. Why do I feel worthless and empty in my soul.
Well these are not just hypothetical questions arising from nowhere but the most pertinent problem which engulfs the very existence of any normal middle aged woman.
Most of the women nearing the menopause age are bound to suffer from emotional pangs resulting into falling self esteem and sense of security. Hormonal imbalances occurring during such period can bring about rapid increase in weight
Sudden decline in the energy levels, increase in fatigue sleep disturbances increase in blood pressure and can even result in abnormal hair growth which can further severe one’s self image.
Middle age is the time when you should not be ignoring your health aspect. Take good care of yourself n exercise well to reduce the impact of hormonal changes in the body. Take care of your dietary intake and incorporate it with vitamin supplements and enough of calcium which often gets drained out of body during this time.
Seek medical intervention if things start getting worse or if mood swings irritability persist for a longer time.
Seek ample guidance and share your experiences with some support group.
There’s is no age limit for learning so don’t hold back yourself from pursuing any hobby of your interest.
You have come a long way raising your kids and looking after your family now it is your time so gift yourself the most deserving thing your precious time so pamper yourself well with good care of your health.
