Today, more women are starting families later in life, which means many mothers are entering menopause while their children are going through adolescence. This can create a perfect storm of hormonal shifts within the same household, with both teens and moms experiencing heightened emotions and stress. It’s no surprise that many mothers of adolescents seek therapy for themselves as they navigate these dual challenges.
Common Symptoms of Menopause and Peri-Menopause
For Immediate Assistance Text 215-317-3329
Menopause can bring a variety of physical, emotional, and relational challenges. Here are some of the common symptoms our clients express during this time:
-
Sleep Disruptions: Waking up in the middle of the night and struggling to fall back asleep, leaving you exhausted the next day.
-
Low Energy Levels: Daytime fatigue from poor sleep may impact job performance, derail exercise routines, lead to carb cravings, and create tension with family members.
-
Increased Anxiety: Experiencing anxiety for the first time or having existing anxiety escalate to panic attacks.
-
Depression: Feeling hopeless about life and the future, sometimes for the first time.
-
Body Changes: Looking in the mirror and feeling disconnected from your body as weight shifts to unfamiliar places, regardless of diet and exercise.
-
Skin and Hair Changes: Thinning hair and changing skin texture despite eating well and staying hydrated.
-
Painful or Low Libido: Sex may become painful, and libido may decrease significantly—a challenging reality, especially if your partner’s sexual desire is increasing. This mismatch can lead to relationship strains.
Why Menopause is a Unique Challenge
Unlike other life stages, menopause often arrives uninvited and unprepared for. It’s not just a physical transition—it’s a mental and emotional journey that impacts self-esteem, relationships, and daily functioning. But with the right support and resources, it’s possible to navigate this time with confidence and resilience.
