And thinking that they were going mad, being told that there was nothing, you know, nothing to worry about, just get on with it.
You're just going through menopause, you're just stressed.
So I think if you go into it with your eyes wide open, that can be really therapeutic.
probably was I mean one of the I go into some workplaces doing some training of staff and one of the key things that I often hear is from older women who've been through menopause so my day we just got on with it and it was none of this this is rubbish so some of the most diminishing statements can be from other women you know this is not all about men in menopause and permanent menopause
But I think when you actually drill that down and speak to some of those women, what does we just got on with it actually mean?
You know, they didn't really just get on with it, many of them.
Some will have, like some will do now.
You know, they were very emotionally dysregulated.
They were having relationship problems.
They were...
um you know crying and emotional um so i think the difference is they just didn't feel they they didn't have the language or the knowledge or the ability to speak up and ask for support and we do now you know things change fortunately and women are getting that um that awareness so i think that's a good thing and i think we can't just you know just because things have changed and they're not like they were in the past doesn't make it wrong
Quite possibly yeah I mean I think as women often they do just get on because they've often got the people to look after I think you know I see that time and time again with women in my surgery when that's for any anything that they come in with you know they'll often say well I can't you know I've had women say I can't go to hospital with my crushing chest pain because I've got to pick my
child up from school or my grandchild up from school you know I mean that's not just isolated to women we see it in men as well but very much there's always a thought for somebody else it's never just about themselves there's always like well I've got to do this I've got to do that actually I've got to do that I think women are quite bad at putting themselves first most women and yeah I think yeah absolutely for some women who were neurodivergent in perimenopause that is extremely high masking isn't it to say we just get on with it
Yeah, puberty can be a bit of a hang on to your hat moment for any parent, can't it?
And the thing, as I've said with girls, is emotional regulation can really go a bit A-wire in puberty in any girl.
But I think with an ADHD brain...
that is more likely to happen.
So I think, you know, it's those shifts in emotions that can be quite hard to manage.
And often adolescence is the time when things like RSD, so, you know, rejection sensitivities for it can kick in.
Justice sensitivity can be seen more floridly, things like that.
