We’ve just wrapped up spooky season, but for some of you, the real scares haven’t stopped. You wake up feeling like a different person. You’re snappy, exhausted, sweating through your sheets at night, and can’t recognize the version of yourself staring back in the mirror. Sound familiar?
It’s not possession. It’s not an alien abduction. It’s not even just stress. What you may be experiencing are the classic signs of perimenopause, and for many women, it feels exactly like the emotional split of Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde.
Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde: When You Don’t Feel Like Yourself Anymore
I see women every day who tell me, “I feel like I’ve been body-snatched.” This feeling of being two different people, calm and collected one moment, raging or weeping the next, is more than just a mood swing. It’s one of the most relatable, yet overlooked, Jekyll and Hyde syndrome symptoms of hormonal imbalance during perimenopause.
It’s frustrating. It’s exhausting. And for many, it feels like an identity crisis. One day, you’re confident, vibrant, and energized… and the next, you’re anxious, foggy, and barely holding it together.
So, What Is Perimenopause, Really?
Perimenopause is the hormonal transition leading up to menopause. And trust me, it doesn’t always whisper. Sometimes it hits like a freight train.
Some women move through this transition quietly, while others experience the full horror-movie lineup:
- Hot flashes
- Irregular periods
- Insomnia or poor sleep
- Mood swings and irritability
- Weight gain
- Brain fog and fatigue
- Vaginal dryness and low libido
- Palpitations and more..
You might be over 40 but still feel 28—so it doesn’t even occur to you that menopause is knocking at the door. That’s why the symptoms can be so confusing. And because no two women experience perimenopause the same way, it can be hard to get answers, let alone help.
You’re Not Losing It—You’re Changing
And you don’t have to go through it alone.
One of the most distressing parts of perimenopause is how unrecognizable you can feel in your own body and mind. This is the emotional heart of what people describe as feeling like Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde. You’re not crazy. This is a very real, very common hormonal shift.
The good news? You have options. You don’t need to “grin and bear it.”
Let’s Talk About What Can Help
At Hummingbird Healthcare, I believe in evidence-based, whole-person care. That means your symptoms are valid, and we treat the whole you.
Here’s what we often use to support perimenopausal women:
Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy
Customized to your needs, bio-identical hormones are safe, natural compounds that match what your body already produces. They can help restore balance, reduce symptoms, and help you feel like yourself again.
Botanical and Nutritional Support
We use supplements and herbs to help ease the transition, especially for those not ready or comfortable with hormone therapy.
Lifestyle Tools
Sleep, movement, stress reduction, and nutrition all play a role. We tailor these strategies for your unique symptoms and preferences.
But What If My Doctor Dismisses Me?
You’re not alone if you’ve brought up your symptoms only to be told, “That’s just part of getting older,” or “We don’t pathologize menopause.”
Many of my clients have felt dismissed, ignored, or told that nothing could be done. The truth is: many doctors were simply not taught about modern hormone therapy or how to approach perimenopause holistically.
That’s exactly why I created Hummingbird Healthcare—to fill the gap. You deserve to be heard. You deserve support. And you can feel like yourself again.
You’re Not a Monster—You’re in Transition
Life is too short to spend another day feeling like a stranger in your own body. Those Jekyll and Hyde syndrome symptoms you’re experiencing are signs that your hormones are out of sync, not that something is wrong with you.
Let’s get you back to feeling bold, clear, connected, and alive.
