Evaluating your life at 40 is common. So is a dip in satisfaction. — via healthing_ca
The after-40 years can be tough as women navigate whata “dramatic reproductive hormone plunge” — when ovulation ends and hormone production drops in a relatively short period of time. Our bodies heat up and then a second later, leave us shivering, our metabolism slows, we have trouble sleeping, and our hair thins. Plus,But disappearing hormones aren’t the only things to be blamed for the discontent of middle-aged women. In fact, the cause of midlife rage runs much deeper than that.
Let’s take soul-sucking hormone changes and the general sallow, “Is this all there is?” feeling and heap on a little science. Apparently, feeling a little underwhelmed during middle age is not just a hormone thing, or even a consequence of realizing the roads not taken. In fact, according to research, a dip in joy may actually be sewn into the depths of the human condition, for both women and men.
Yet, unlike the grumpy, sex-hating, sweaty and frazzled image society has of the middle-aged, hormone-deprived woman, what’s happening physiologically is not always top of mind when we come across the middle-aged guy. You know, the one who spices up his existence by having affairs with younger women and trading in boring crossover SUVs for fancy sports cars. In fact, we kind of expect it. And weirdly, we laugh about it.
