Inner Autumn

During autumn your oestrogen dips and progesterone begins to rise. Progesterone is a hormone which is all about slowing right down. You may notice you have less energy and you feel like there are only certain people (or sometimes no people) you want to be around.

In the days before your period, you may also be feeling more sensitive and extra critical – to yourself and/or others. This is normal, but can be really difficult to deal with or explain to others. Remember to be gentle with yourself and seek help if you need it.
