You're impatient with yourself. You want this to be over. You want to feel better now. You want to be yourself now. But it takes time. Perimenopause takes time. Recovery takes time. Patience is required. Be patient with yourself.

You're doing your best. Your best might be less than it was before. That's okay. Your best right now is your best. That's enough. Be patient with your limitations.

Progress is slow. Some days you'll feel like you're going backward. Some weeks it feels like nothing is getting better. Be patient. The timeline is long. You'll get there.

Be patient with yourself. You're managing something really hard. You're doing it. Be patient with the process.
