Hello. I am reporting from the We Do Not Care Club global chapter of frequent forgetfulness member number 1110111. We recognize @justbeingmelani as our leader and we thank her for creating this club. To enroll please follow @justbeingmelani and engage with her posts and share what you do not care about as women who are perimenopausal or menopausal.
Now onto our chapter report with today’s “We Do Not Care” declarations: We do not care that we interrogate our dogs like personal assistants, demanding answers they can’t provide. We do not care about caring because it’s exhausting and we’ve used up our daily quota on coffee cup mysteries and dog feeding confusion. We do not care that we stood in the shower wondering if we already shampooed, resulting in either the cleanest or grungiest hair in human history. We do not care that we’ve texted you back in our heads instead of our phones - our imaginary replies were chef’s kiss perfect and now you get free digital meditation. We do not care about your “Ohio,” “Gucci,” “skibidi” nonsense because our brains refuse linguistic updates and we’re not accepting new terms of service for words.
That concludes the report from the We Do Not Care Club global chapter of frequent forgetfulness. Thank you and have a good day. 🫡

Being part of the We Do Not Care Club offers a unique and supportive community for women navigating perimenopause and menopause, especially those experiencing frequent forgetfulness and brain fog. This stage often brings cognitive challenges, with struggles such as difficulty focusing, memory lapses, and fatigue - all of which are humorously embraced in the club’s declarations. It is essential to understand that these symptoms are common and natural during hormonal transitions. Studies suggest that fluctuating estrogen levels can influence neurotransmitter function, leading to what many call “brain fog.” Connecting with others who share similar experiences can alleviate feelings of isolation and provide emotional support. The club’s approach—using humor and candidness about daily forgetfulness moments, like questioning if shampooing has already happened or imagining text message replies mentally—resonates deeply with many women. Such authentic expressions help normalize these experiences, encouraging members not to be overly critical of themselves. Following and engaging with @justbeingmelani, the club’s founder, provides continuous encouragement and a space to share personal stories. This not only builds community but also promotes mental well-being by validating the ups and downs of midlife changes. Moreover, the club highlights the importance of setting boundaries around what to care about. Since caring can be exhausting, prioritizing energy and letting go of unnecessary concerns serve as self-care strategies during this transformative period. Embracing this mindset can transform the menopausal journey from a challenge into a shared, empowering experience. Women are encouraged to celebrate their wisdom, quirks, and resilience, creating a positive narrative around perimenopausal and menopausal life stages that often go unspoken. For those interested, participating in the We Do Not Care Club and using hashtags like #WeDoNotCare, #FrequentForgetfulness, #MidlifeUnfiltered, and #PerimenopauseTruths offers a meaningful way to connect, find solidarity, and navigate brain fog with humor and heart.
