But addiction wears many disguises.
Food. Work. Exercise. Shopping. Relationships. Social media. Gambling (Insert your coping mechanism here)

Because it is rarely about the substance or the behaviour itself. More often, it is an attempt to change the way we feel.
To numb.
To escape.
To distract.
To soothe.
To survive.

Many women reach a stage in life where the strategies that once helped them cope no longer seem to work]]></description><link>https://www.rebelalma.com/post/understanding-the-real-reasons-behind-addiction-and-escape</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a3188b1d98cc147601e5fc5</guid><pubDate>Tue, 16 Jun 2026 17:39:24 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_f7b77602dda247f484874aad2e2f6952~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Stephanie Jane Lopes</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Endometriosis and Chemical Menopause - What No One Really Prepares You For]]></title><description><![CDATA[What is Chemical Menopause?

It’s not about having the “wrong” hormone levels.

It’s about how your body and brain respond to those changes. Which is why so many women are told everything is “normal”… while feeling anything but.
