Here are 3 reasons why you might feel off and why it’s not your fault.

If you’ve been feeling off lately low energy, foggy brain, unpredictable moods, struggling to keep up with life you’re not alone.
And you’re definitely not broken.

Here are 3 reasons you may feel like you're falling apart and why you’re not.

1. Your Hormones Are Shifting And That Impacts Everything

Let’s get this straight: it’s not just “in your head.”
During perimenopause and menopause, your hormones go through major changes  especially oestrogen and progesterone. And these hormones don’t just affect your periods. They impact your brain, body, and mood.

• One day you feel calm and focused, the next you’re anxious, teary, or exhausted for no reason.

• Your sleep gets lighter or disappears altogether.

• You’re forgetting things, snapping at people, and then blaming yourself.

This isn’t weakness.
It’s not aging badly.
It’s biology and it’s totally normal.
You just haven’t been given the tools to work with it… until now.

2. You’re Trying to Keep Going Like Nothing’s Changed

We were raised to “push through,” to hold it all together, to keep performing like we always have whether that’s at home, at work, or in our bodies. But when your hormones, metabolism, and nervous system are changing, your old routines stop working.

• The workouts that used to help you feel strong now leave you exhausted.

• Skipping meals or cutting carbs like you used to? Now it makes your belly bloat and your blood sugar crash.

• Your multitasking superpowers? Replaced by overwhelm and fog.

Here’s the truth: your body is asking for a new way.
And ignoring it doesn’t make you stronger it just makes you feel worse.
You don’t need to give up. You need a different strategy that meets you where you are.

3. You’re Carrying Too Much, For Too Long

Midlife is heavy.
You’re balancing career shifts, parenting (maybe even grandparenting), aging parents, relationships, finances, and your own health which often gets pushed to the bottom of the list.

• You’re the glue for everyone else.

• You give and give until there’s nothing left.

• And then you wonder why you’re snapping, aching, or crying behind the bathroom door.

You’re not weak.
You’re at capacity.
Your body is speaking up because it needs help not judgment.
