Women today are spiraling inside a foreseeable route, without their knowledge, consent, or full understanding of the circumstances.

It starts in their teens, where the message they get from all directions is that the responsible thing to do is getting on Birth Control Pills at the start of their sexual lives. Often before they reach 18. It is a uniformed message coming from parents, high-schools, and Gynecologists. Nobody is informed about the downsides of this magic bullet. It isn’t spoken about before getting a prescription.

It continues on when after a few years, when some women, for various reasons, decide to stop taking it. At this point, many side effects show up. Or, let’s be honest — direct effects show up. It can manifest as weakness, lethargy, insomnia, anxiety & depression, and the list goes on.

Part of it is that so many out there are feeling at this stage largely dismissed, and not getting any good explanations or practical solutions from the system. Usually, none of these symptoms are addressed as a result from the pill.

The suggested treatment of choice here is ranging from pain medications, regular antibiotics for BV and UTIs, sleep meds, surgeries in the cases of endometriosis, the interesting suggestion to go again on the pill in order to fix ‘Hormonal imbalances’, and the cure-all favorite and all-times winner — SSRI Medications.

SSRI meds are prescribed for a wide range of unrelated symptoms in a rapid rate. And in many cases — when only physical complaints are present, even without a mental component involved.

SSRI meds are very accessible, pretty much for anyone. Uninformed doctors are leading uninformed women into something that supposed to help, but is doing the exact opposite. SSRI are masking the reality of what’s happening inside the body. When you are on it, there is no path for you to be in touch with yourself on a somatic level.

As the next stop of the train — it continues the destruction done by the pill and takes it a bit further. Systematic damage on a whole new level is taking place under the cover of a “functional” person in society.

The last stop is of course HRT medications. In the age of menopause, it is considered normal to be taking hormonal replacement therapy. Supposedly for enhancing quality of life, balance hormones, improve bone density and muscle strength, libido and so on. All of that while accepting its risks involved, such as higher chance for breast cancer.

The legitimacy of taking HRT is the cherry on top. On top of a life lived happily disconnected from real needs, pretty much starved from a nutritional standpoint, poisoned from environmental exposures & meds, and dancing around society’s norms of what’s considered to be an acceptable way of living.

Braking out of this path takes knowledge of the existing alternatives. It also takes body awareness, and knowing how to read the signals coming from within. It takes more commitment and personal investment, and a clarity of what’s a “Yes” and a “No” outside the consensus of opinions. The earlier we opt out, the easier it’ll be for us.
