Let's Talk - PERIMENOPAUSE ANXIETY
Over the next couple days will be digging deeper into some of the lesser talked about symptoms that we face in perimenopause, first up is anxiety.
🧠 What’s Actually Happening
This isn’t “random anxiety.”
During perimenopause:
- Estrogen impacts GABA (your calming neurotransmitter)
- When it fluctuates → your brain feels less safe
- Your nervous system becomes hyper-alert
So you feel:
👉 on edge
👉 uneasy for no reason
👉 like something is “off”
Even when life looks fine.
This is biological, not personal.
⚠️ The Pattern Most Women Fall Into
- Overthinking everything
- Trying to control more
- Googling symptoms endlessly
- Pushing through exhaustion
Which actually reinforces the anxiety loop.
🔄 The Reframe
You don’t need to “figure everything out.”
You need to create safety in your body again.
🛠️ How to Support This
1. Regulate Before You Rationalize
You cannot think your way out of anxiety.
→ 5–10 minutes daily:
- slow breathing
- laying flat
- quiet stillness
2. Stabilize Blood Sugar
Low blood sugar = heightened anxiety
→ Eat regularly→ Prioritize protein→ Don’t rely on caffeine to function
3. Reduce Stimulation
You don’t need more input.
→ Less scrolling→ Less multitasking→ More space
4. Ground Your Body
Bring yourself back into your body:
→ Walking→ Strength training→ Barefoot grounding
🌿 Arbonne Support
- Protein → stabilizes blood sugar → reduces anxious spikes
- Greens → supports gut → gut-brain connection
- InnerCalm → supports nervous system regulation
👉 “When does your anxiety show up the most—and what’s happening around you when it does?”
