Being a Woman: A Path of Change and Emotions|LOH 181 (EN-ES)
Greetings, my dear Ladies of Hive. I hope you are doing very well and that the blessings of health and well-being multiply for all of you.
I share my participation in the #181 edition of the contest to which we are invited, weekly, by the Ladies of Hive. On this occasion, I am going to answer the second of the questions that @joanstewart has left us:
2️⃣ How do we women overcome persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, irritability, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, and possibly loss of interest in activities?
Saludos, mis queridas Damas de Hive. Espero que se encuentren muy bien y que se multipliquen las bendiciones de salud y bienestar para todas.
Comparto mi participación en la edición #181 del concurso al que nos invitan, semanalmente, las Damas de Hive. En esta ocasión, voy a responder la segunda de las preguntas que nos ha dejado @joanstewart:
2️⃣ ¿Cómo superamos las mujeres los sentimientos persistentes de tristeza, ansiedad, irritabilidad, cambios en el apetito o en los patrones de sueño y posiblemente pérdida de interés en las actividades?
At different stages of our lives, women experience a series of significant changes that, although different at each stage, share the trait of being unsettling and even distressing in some cases.
In adolescence, for example, we go through menarche and with it come changes in behavior and moods. Then, other transformations come with motherhood, and when we have spent years calmly, without ups and downs and we have become accustomed to being well, menopause arrives to surprise us with changes that we did not expect. Thus, we find ourselves in a minefield through which we must tread carefully.
En las diferentes etapas de nuestras vidas, las mujeres experimentamos una serie de cambios significativos que, aunque son distintos en cada etapa, comparten el rasgo de ser inquietantes y hasta angustiosos, en algunos casos.
En la adolescencia, por ejemplo, pasamos por la menarquia y con ella son evidentes los cambios de comportamiento y de estados de ánimo. Luego, vienen otras transformaciones con la maternidad, y cuando pasamos años en calma, sin altibajos y ya nos hemos acostumbrado a estar bien, llega la menopausia para sorprendernos con cambios que no esperábamos. Así, nos encontramos como en un campo minado por el que debemos transitar con cuidado.

In my case, menarche and motherhood did not wreak havoc on me, thank God. I lived through them without any setbacks. But menopause did manifest itself with some changes. In perimenopause I experienced some mood swings, a little irritability and hormonal variations.
Now, in full menopause, I have felt fine, I have not suffered the discomforts of this stage, only the sleep disturbance is what has hit me hard, because before I had no trouble falling asleep as soon as I lay down to sleep. This has made me a little anxious and I have felt tired. But, I have already taken action to overcome it.
What has worked for me to feel better at this stage of my life is to recognize and validate what I feel, accept that everything I am going through is normal, express my emotions and take actions to achieve a better quality of life in these times.
Among the things I do is self-care, and in this I include, besides pampering myself, exercising, taking care of my skin, and also my thoughts and environment, the fact of seeking professional help to be and feel better.
Regarding the difficulty in falling asleep some nights, my doctor has given me recommendations on sleep hygiene and has indicated me to take magnesium, since then, I do not lack because I have really felt the benefits of this supplement and others such as collagen.
Definitely, to overcome everything that ails us, to be emotionally in balance, we must do a sustained internal work, we must rely on professionals who will help us and provide us with the tools and strategies necessary to be well. And, in addition, we must maintain healthy habits and change our lifestyle for our physical, mental and emotional well-being.
En mi caso, la menarquia y la maternidad no causaron estragos en mí, gracias a Dios. Las viví sin contratiempos. Pero, la menopausia sí se manifestó con algunos cambios. En la perimenopausia experimenté algunos cambios de ánimo, un poco de irritabilidad y variaciones hormonales.
Ahora, en plena menopausia, me he sentido bien, no he sufrido los malestares propios de esta etapa, sólo la alteración del sueño es lo que me ha pegado duro, pues antes no me costaba nada conciliar el sueño apenas me acostaba a dormir. Esto me ha generado un poco de ansiedad y me he sentido cansada. Pero, ya he tomado acciones para superarlo.
Lo que me ha funcionado para sentirme mejor en esta etapa de mi vida es reconocer y validar lo que siento, aceptar que es normal todo lo que estoy pasando, expresar mis emociones y tomar acciones para lograr mejor calidad de vida en estos tiempos.
Entre las cosas que hago está el autocuidado, y en esto incluyo, además de mimarme, ejercitarme, cuidarme la piel, y también mis pensamientos y el entorno, el hecho de buscar ayuda profesional para estar y sentirme mejor.
Con respecto a la dificultad para conciliar el sueño algunas noches, mi médico me ha dado recomendaciones sobre la higiene del sueño y me ha indicado tomar magnesio, desde entonces, no me falta porque, realmente, he sentido los beneficios de este suplemento y de otros como el colágeno.
Definitivamente, para superar todo aquello que nos aqueja, para estar emocionalmente en equilibrio, debemos hacer un trabajo interno sostenido, debemos apoyarnos en los profesionales que nos ayudarán y nos proporcionarán las herramientas y las estrategias necesarias para estar bien. Y, además, debemos mantener hábitos saludables y cambiar el estilo de vida para nuestro bienestar físico, mental y emocional.

Very true
At a teenage age I went through several hormonal imbalances
Even till now
So we women have different changes at different phase of our lives
Some ladies are fortunate not to have terrible side effects through the changes, we can count ourselves the lucky ones.
I have work colleagues who suffered in agony putting them flat on the bed for a couple of days, extremely few debilitating effects required surgical intervention.
Treatments shared should assist some suffering from same effects as you encounter, hopefully this helps many.
