To my fellow #neurodivergent folks with ovaries: you know how your brain and body can work one way when estrogen is the dominant hormone, and a totally different way when estrogen drops? And by your 30s you don't love it but you're sort of used to it, and might even have gotten to a point where you mostly don't blame yourself for it anymore? 🫂

Perimenopause is coming. It can last a decade or more, and begin in your 30s. It can mess with the neuro of it all, too, and *because* you've done so much to work to understand and optimize around your usual hormone cycle you might be less inclined to think it's a hormone thing, and start the blaming yourself cycle all over again.

So just an fyi, and please try to be gentle with yourself. ❤️
