There’s a very specific kind of rage that comes from being exhausted and unable to sleep.

You’re tired in your bones.

Your eyes burn to the point that cucumber slices don’t seem like such a bad ideas anymore.

Your body? Wired like it just downed three espressos after binge watching the latest season of Love is Blind.

There’s a very specific kind of exhaustion that hits in perimenopause - Where even your coffee looks at you like, “bitch… I did what I could.”

Perimenopause has a way of making you feel like your body suddenly stopped cooperating.

Your joints ache to the point where you’re picking up your coffee mug with two hands, praying you don’t drop it straight down the front of your shirt and baptize your tits in caffeine.
Energy?? Nonexistent.

You find yourself wondering when the last time you actually saw daylight from somewhere outside the four walls of your apartment.
