Across a woman’s life there are three major physiological transitions: puberty, pregnancy/childbirth, and menopause.
Medicine tends to treat them as separate stories. Lived experience often doesn’t.
This essay explores a single regulatory pattern that reappears across these stages — sometimes as overwhelm, sometimes as crisis, sometimes much later as muscle cramps or autonomic symptoms — not as pathology, but as boundary dynamics under changing conditions.
It’s about recognition, not diagnosis.
About regulation, not “coping better”.
And about why many women sense continuity where systems see fragments.
If this resonates — for you, your daughters, or your patients — you’re not imagining the pattern.

I was 36 years old, standing in a pub, secretly navigating the early, volatile stages of a second puberty, and no one knew.
My chest was on fire. It felt as though someone had taken sandpaper to my nipples and then dipped them in acid.

I wonder why kind of J-Pop I hate the most. Is it obnoxiously (not) "cute" girls bands, or obnoxiously (not) "cool" boys bands. The music of both kinds is inane, and I wonder if I was as obnoxious as my daughter when I was her age and I used to listen to the hits of the day in my living room in front of my annoyed parents.

She'll grow out of it any day now, right? Right?
