Rx for angst: pen and paper

Western medicine offers various ways to handle the emotional upheaval of perimenopause, sometimes with drugs or therapy. Yet one of the best ways to deal with your emotions is perhaps the simplest: Write down your feelings. Keeping a journal is a way to move energy, channel it, and ultimately release it. You don’t have to do it forever, but try writing for at least 10 minutes a day (more if you feel like it) for at least a month or so. Give yourself time to spot some patterns in your emotions—and see if they correspond to any physical symptoms in your body. As you write, take the position of observer: Record your emotions without judging them; don’t try to change or censor them. Let them out. Admit them to yourself. If you feel angry, don’t try to correct it right now. Just write it down so that you can see clearly what is going on inside. Accept it, then work with it. You might be acknowledging these feelings for the first time after having swept them under the carpet. The next step is to identify the source of any anger, sadness, or other unhappiness so you can begin to make changes. Write in your journal every day, several times a day—you’ll find it an excellent opportunity for transformation.
