The grief no one talks about in midlife transitions.
You can want the change and still feel grief. This is loss in the body. Identity shifts take time. You don’t have to rush forward. Honor what was. #midlifehealing #griefjourney #nervoussystemsupport #womenover40 #lifeaftercaregiving

A hand holds a prescription bottle for Duloxetine HCL DR 30 MG capsules, with dosage instructions. Text overlay asks, "Starting Cymbalta: Is this normal??" and mentions "Antidepressant talk."
A woman lies on a couch, with text stating her doctor switched her antidepressants to Cymbalta (Duloxetine) and she noticed her "spice drive has basically disappeared."
A woman with curly hair looks at the camera. Text expresses concern that her "bedroom energy will never come back" while on Cymbalta, despite being told it takes 4-6 weeks for results.
The side effect no one talks about…
To be honest, I was nervous about starting a new antidepressant since the last one I was on (Venlafaxine) absolutely messed my body and mind up! My Dr reassured me that it won’t happen with this one, but early on I noticed that my spicy bedroom energy has been lacking! 🥲 I basically feel numb t

The Exhausting Side of Being Introverted
There’s a part of being introverted that no one really talks about. It’s not the quiet. It’s the exhaustion. Not because you don’t like people. But because you absorb everything. The tone shifts. The small expressions. The energy in the room. And somehow… you carry it home with you.
