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 forgot what we were saying mid-sentence and made up word salad because our brain thinks communication is improv theater. We do not care if our clothes are unflattering as long as they don’t make us want to climb walls or spontaneously combust - go away, you’re being too peoply. We do not care if we missed your 8 AM call because we fell asleep at 5 AM after our brain’s nightly embarrassment inventory, and don’t call at 8 AM unless someone’s dying or we won the lottery. We do not care that we have three drinks at once because we need water for survival, coffee for functionality, and Diet Coke for the will to live - our beverage polyamory serves complex perimenopause hydration requirements. We do not care that we wear the same four outfits all season because those decisions are hard and we’re committed like it’s a legally binding contract with our sanity.
That concludes the report from the We Do Not Care Club global chapter of frequent forgetfulness. Thank you and have a good day. 🫡

Navigating perimenopause can feel like riding an emotional and physical rollercoaster, but the ‘We Do Not Care’ Club offers a refreshing approach grounded in humor and solidarity. Women in this stage often experience symptoms such as frequent forgetfulness, brain fog, fluctuating moods, and unpredictable sleep patterns. Acknowledging these openly, as the club does, helps reduce shame and fosters community support. For many, brain fog impacts daily communication, making it feel like an improvisational theater performance where thoughts occasionally slip away mid-sentence. Embracing this instead of resisting it can reduce stress and improve mental wellbeing. Similarly, wardrobe choices, which might previously have invited judgment, become acts of self-kindness rather than perfection—wearing the “same four outfits,” for instance, symbolizes efficient simplicity rather than a lack of effort. Hydration needs during perimenopause shift, demanding more careful attention to fluids. The club’s humorous take on beverage “polyamory” with water, coffee, and Diet Coke underscores how practical habits cater to complex hormonal and energy needs. Recognizing and normalizing these adaptations promotes healthier relationships with self-care. Importantly, this community reframes societal expectations around productivity and availability. Setting boundaries—such as not answering early-morning calls unless urgent—is a proactive measure for mental health during these transitions. By sharing their experiences publicly under hashtags like #WeDoNotCare, #FrequentForgetfulness, #MidlifeUnfiltered, #PerimenopauseTruths, and #BrainFogIsReal, members foster visibility and authentic conversation about midlife challenges. This collective voice empowers women to face perimenopause with courage, humor, and acceptance, turning challenges into shared stories of resilience and self-love.
