WTF Is Happening to Me?
A brutally honest guide to surviving perimenopause without losing your mind
Hot flushes, anxiety, brain fog, broken sleep, sudden tears, random rage — welcome to the wild ride that is perimenopause.
If you’ve ever found yourself crying over biscuits, snapping at your partner for breathing too loudly, or wondering why your jeans suddenly have an attitude problem… this book is for you.
In WTF Is Happening to Me?, Karen Darlington combines humour, real-life experiences, and the kind of honesty you only get from a woman who’s lived it. She takes you from the early “what the actual f*ck?” days of hormone chaos to a calmer, stronger, more confident version of yourself.
You’ll learn what’s really happening to your hormones (and your brain), why you feel the way you do, and how to support your body instead of fighting it. No fads, no fluff, no guilt — just laughter, perspective, and practical tools to help you feel human again.
Part WTF Is Happening to Me?Laugh-out-loud stories and real-life moments that reveal how hormones quietly hijack everything from mood and memory to waistlines and wardrobes. Understanding the chaos is the first step toward feeling normal again.
Part Getting My Sh*t TogetherThis is where you rebuild. Learn what actually works for midlife women — strength training, balanced nutrition, better sleep, stress resets, and boundaries that protect your sanity. Real, doable, and totally relatable.
Part The Midlife ResetReclaim your calm, your confidence, and your sense of self. From HRT and supplements to yoga, breathwork, mindset and saying “no” without guilt, this is your blueprint for feeling like you again — only wiser, softer, stronger.
Why I Wrote This BookI wrote this because I know exactly how it feels to be exhausted, bloated, anxious, and thinking, “Is this just me?”
It’s not just you. And you’re not broken.
You’re just menopausing — and you deserve to feel good again.
With warmth, wisdom, and plenty of humour, this book is part survival guide, part sisterhood, and part permission slip to stop apologising and start thriving.
You’ll Learn How Understand what’s happening to your hormones (without the jargon)Reduce symptoms through food, movement, rest, and mindsetBuild strength and energy in your 40s, 50s and beyondHandle stress, anxiety, and sleep issues with simple daily resetsFeel strong, sexy, and unapologetically confident againIf you’ve been looking for a book that feels like a chat with your funniest, most honest friend — one who also knows exactly what your hormones are doing — this is it.
You’ll laugh, nod, maybe cry a little, and finish it
F*ck it. I’ve got this.
