• Community report (Sep 1 2026, u/haylz328): a manager in perimenopause running a mostly-peri team describes it as 'a living nightmare' - she maps each team member's flare signature: the ultra-paranoid one who now flags 'I'm going crazy again' and gets a coffee debrief instead of a performance conversation, the permanently exhausted one, the one who gets nasty mid-flare.
• Community report: the same manager says she cannot predict her own meltdowns because they track now-random bleeding ('I never know when that is because it's a random thing'), and internally wants to retreat - 'I know it's the hormones and to ride it out.'
• Community observation only: reported workplace experience of midlife women self-managing symptom-aware management without an HR playbook. Not clinical evidence, not a treatment claim.
