Why Journaling Is a Lifesaver During Perimenopause and Menopause

 

 

 

Okay, real talk—perimenopause and menopause are no joke. One day you’re fine, the next you’re sweating through your sheets or crying at a dog food commercial. I started journaling just to keep my sanity, and it’s honestly helped me so much.

1. You Can Track What’s Actually Happening

I used to forget when my symptoms started or what triggered them. Now, I jot down when I get hot flashes, what I ate, or how I slept. It’s wild how much easier it is to spot patterns! Plus, it makes doctor visits way less stressful because I actually remember what’s been going on.

 

2. It’s a Safe Place for All the Feels

Some days, I just need to vent. Journaling is like talking to a friend who never interrupts. I write about my menopause anxiety, mood swings, or even the random stuff that’s on my mind. It helps me process everything and feel a little lighter.

 

3. You’ll Notice the Good Stuff, Too

It’s easy to focus on the tough days, but journaling helps me remember the wins—like when I actually sleep through the night or have a day with zero hot flashes. Those little victories matter!

4. Setting Goals Feels Doable

I use my journal to set tiny goals, like drinking more water or trying a new menopause diet. Writing it down keeps me accountable, and it feels so good to check things off—even the small stuff.

 

5. You Can Share (If You Want!)

Sometimes I’ll share a funny or relatable journal entry with friends or in a menopause support group. It’s a great way to connect and remind ourselves we’re not alone in this.

Final Thoughts:
Seriously, if you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed, try journaling. It doesn’t have to be perfect—just honest. It’s helped me manage menopause naturally, and I think it could help you, too. We’re in this together!
