Many women experience feelings of low self-esteem when they become perimenopausal, which can be quite confusing because it isn’t a symptom that many people would automatically associate with hormones. But actually, your hormones can play a really important role in your brain and psychological symptoms are really common. I would not be working as a doctor if I didn’t replace my missing hormones by taking HRT because I was really struggling with so many perimenopausal symptoms, so if you are also struggling with confidence at work, take a second and ask yourself, could it be the perimenopause or menopause? Think about if you’re experiencing any other related symptoms too and then go speak to your healthcare professional about treatment options - because there is help available!
