Hi! I am a woman in my mid-40s. Going through menopause. I have realized how ignorant I have been about the havoc caused by it in the life of women. Many women in my family, at work and in my social circles must have gone through this, yet nobody ever mentioned anything about it.

I now read that 85% women experience the menopausal symptoms. The intensity may differ. Hence, I am baffled, why did not even a single woman I know ever mention about it. I wonder if these women themselves realized what was happening to them.

Or did they believe they were at fault for what was happening and tried to hide it…. tried to suppress it. I do not even know if they have come out of it or still suffering. But now, I know for sure that so many are going through this agony as I am writing this thread.

It is for them that I have decided to write my story. Not to share any gyan, just the experience and how I am trying to deal with it. I am writing this anonymously as there are references to some people, who may not want to be known in this context. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😀" title="Grinsendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grinsendes Gesicht">
