With all the tasks and projects heading on the same date for the deadline, I am so stressed I cannot explain how. But I mentally conditioned myself last month because I am expecting this to happen. I just make sure I have all the food I need beside me to suppress the feeling of stress.

Good Luck! Step away when necessary!

Personally, I hate this time of year because between the crunch of year-end and the stress of the holidays, it's a double whammy. Right now, I'm just focusing on trying to keep my head above water at work while also checking off all the things on my personal to-do list. All I can do is my best.

That’s it! Just do your best and eliminate as many distractions as you can. You got it!

I’m curious how long people were in the peri menopause phase? I’ve read it’s an average of 4 years but I’m curious what people’s experiences are. I believe I am late stage peri menopausal and my periods have been very irregular for the past 9 months ranging 13-60 days between periods. If anyone has any studies you could point me to, I’d love to see those as well! I’m 40 and my mom entered menopause at 41.

Hi ladies, I'm in my mid 40s and I think I'm entering peri. I currently have a Mirena but I should replace it again soon, but one more will put me into my 50s(!!) and I was wondering if anyone here knows that they're in peri or menopause without having periods. Is there blood work or something to check? I definitely do not want to have another child accidentally. I've got 5 more years until my youngest is in college and don't want to start over again.

Any parents who are still on the safe side with Covid? We have a 1 year old and being safe and staying mostly home is really getting to me.
