Reclaiming Herself: A Woman’s Journey Through Loss and Healing
The rain falls pitter-patter outside the window of the small apartment in the Capitol Hill district, Seattle, Washington, like endless tears pouring down, blending with the howling wind through the cracks of the old apartment building built in the 1980s, carrying the moist breath characteristic of the Pacific Northwest region. In the dimly lit living room, only the pale yellow light from the desk lamp illuminates Anna Thompson’s tired, gaunt face. At 45 years old, an art teacher at Garfield High School in the city center, she huddles on the old sofa with its worn fabric from time, wrapped in a thin wool blanket, trying to ward off the bone-chilling cold of the American winter in 2023, when temperatures often drop below 5 degrees C and persistent drizzles make the streets slippery and gloomy, reflecting the melancholic mood of millions of Seattle residents accustomed to the “Seattle freeze”—a social phenomenon where people maintain distance and connect less, especially common in this tech city where the population is diverse from Amazon engineers to freelance artists, yet isolation still spreads. Her heavy sigh blends with the distant sound of cars on Madison Street Boulevard, creating a symphony of loneliness in the heart of the vibrant city, where millions of tourists still flock to admire the Space Needle or Pike Place Market, but for Anna, everything is just a gray curtain. On the small walnut wood table, a cooled herbal tea cup exudes a faint mint scent mixed with dried lavender from a homemade sachet, next to an art notebook with unfinished sketches—abstract lines that once reflected her creative passion, now just smeared ink marks reminding her of half-hearted efforts to self-soothe. Anna looks out into the darkness outside the window, where the blurry streetlights reflect on the wet pavement, evoking a distant memory: her ex-husband David’s warm smile during an autumn afternoon at Gas Works Park, when they were still a happy couple amid the strolling crowd and locals, hand in hand enjoying local Starbucks coffee. That is a tiny ray of hope—a reminder that life was once brilliant, and perhaps there is still a chance to rediscover herself in modern American society, where middle-aged women like her often face the pressure of balancing personal independence, societal expectations of a perfect image, and the natural hormonal changes of perimenopause, according to data from the American Medical Association (AMA) showing that about 40 percent of women aged 40 to 50 experience symptoms related to mental health due to estrogen fluctuations, in a broader context with depression rates in American women twice that of men according to the CDC, and the rise of “gray divorce”—divorce among those over 50—from 8.7 percent in 1990 to 36 percent in 2019 according to Bowling Green State University, reflecting societal shifts where women are increasingly independent but also more vulnerable mentally.
Three years ago, Anna’s life was torn apart by a painful divorce, a phenomenon not uncommon in America, where the divorce rate reaches about 45 percent according to CDC data in 2022, particularly high in major cities like Seattle due to work pressure, urbanized lifestyle, and changes in gender roles in modern society, with gray divorce surging, reflecting the trend of middle-aged women choosing freedom but facing social isolation. Her husband, David, a successful software engineer working at the tech company Amazon in the South Lake Union district with an annual salary exceeding 150,000 USD, had an affair with a colleague 15 years younger—a 30-year-old energetic programmer from the cloud computing department, which Anna discovered through affectionate messages on the phone David inadvertently left behind. That event was not only an emotional loss but also a financial shock, as she had to share assets accumulated over 20 years of marriage, including a 100,000 USD savings for a dream trip to Hawaii and the small condo they bought in 2005 for 400,000 USD, now doubled in value but Anna only received half after deducting legal fees up to 20,000 USD. Before that, Anna was an independent, sensitive, and modern woman—typical of American middle-aged women, who value the balance between creative work and personal life, often participating in cultural activities like exhibitions at the Seattle Art Museum or art workshops at the Frye Art Museum, where she once led students to learn about the abstract school of Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. She used to love painting abstract pictures inspired by the hilly streets in Capitol Hill, strolling on Pike Place Market with friends to buy fresh seafood and craft coffee, and joining weekend family gatherings, like Sunday dinners at her parents’ house in suburban Seattle with traditional grilled salmon. But after the divorce, everything collapsed gradually. She began neglecting herself: skipping nutritious meals, instead opting for hasty cheddar cheese sandwiches bought from the nearby Whole Foods supermarket; staying up until 2 a.m. scrolling social media, watching others’ happy stories on Instagram and Facebook, making her eyes red and her mind exhausted; avoiding meetings with friends for fear of facing pity or American-style direct but polite probing questions, like when her close friend Sarah called: “Anna, are you okay? I heard about David, do you need anything?” and Anna replied perfunctorily: “I’m fine, just busy.” Bad habits gradually formed—a occasional Marlboro cigarette to reduce stress, smoked on the small balcony overlooking the bustling street, California red wine in the evening to forget the pain, with up to two glasses per night causing her liver to show signs of fatigue according to annual health checks. Anna felt she was no longer herself, like a painting faded under a layer of temporal dust, reflecting the common situation among American women after divorce, where according to APA research, about 15 to 20 percent of middle-aged women experience severe depression after divorce with symptoms like insomnia and loss of interest in life, and this number is higher in women due to greater social and financial losses, with women experiencing a 45 percent drop in living standards compared to 21 percent in men according to Bowling Green State University. Additionally, secondary friends like her sister Megan living in Tacoma, Washington, often called worriedly: “Anna, I see you’re talking less and less, do you need to share anything?” but Anna always avoided: “I’m fine, Megan, don’t worry too much,” causing the sibling relationship to gradually drift apart, reflecting American culture where individualism makes people less likely to share deep emotions.
To illustrate this origin of decline, consider the case of a woman named Lisa, 48 years old, living in Chicago, Illinois, a bank employee who divorced 4 years ago after her husband had an affair with a colleague. Lisa used to be energetic, participating in weekly yoga classes and gathering with friends at local bars, but after the divorce, she started skipping meals, staying up late watching Netflix to forget the pain, and gradually isolating herself from her friend group, leading to the feeling of “no longer being herself” when looking in the mirror and seeing a tired face. This process happened gradually: first skipping breakfast to save time, then staying up late to avoid thinking about old memories, and finally refusing invitations from her sister, causing her to fall into mild depression. As a result, Lisa lost 10 kg in 6 months, her skin became dull, and she had to take temporary leave from work due to exhaustion, but after seeking help from a nutritionist, she gradually recovered by building a balanced eating schedule, proving that the origin of decline often stems from major losses and needs early intervention to avoid long-term consequences. In the broader American social context, with the high rate of gray divorce, women like Lisa and Anna often face greater financial pressure because women’s average income is 21 percent lower than men’s according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, leading to difficulties in maintaining an independent lifestyle after divorce.
The accumulating difficulties trapped Anna in a vicious cycle, not only affecting herself but also spreading to surrounding relationships, creating a network of social isolation typical among American middle-aged women. Physically, she was exhausted: persistent insomnia caused dark circles and swollen eye bags, hair falling out in handfuls when brushing with her beloved classic wooden comb from her youth, dull skin and acne due to nutrient deficiency as well as prolonged stress, weight gain of 10kg due to irregular eating—mainly donuts from local shops and strong black coffee from the Keurig machine at home, leading to BMI increasing from 22 to 27, according to AHA recommendations possibly increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease in women over 40 by 20 to 30 percent. Mentally, it was worse: persistent anxiety made her irritable with students during art classes, like when a boy drew crooked lines and she snapped: “Why aren’t you focusing? This isn’t a game!” causing her colleague Rachel, a 48-year-old math teacher, to console: “Anna, you need to rest, you look exhausted.” Mild depression prevented her from participating in social gatherings like barbecues with colleagues at local parks, where people often discussed art and American politics. In America, where culture values independence and individualism, Anna felt like an outsider amid the hurried crowd on Pine Street, where everyone seemed perfect with Patagonia clothing and courteous smiles, while she only wore an old sweater and avoided eye contact. She had tried seeking help through free health chatbots online like the Headspace app with guided meditations, online yoga exercises on YouTube from the Yoga with Adriene channel, or even psychology forums on Reddit like r/depression or r/Menopause. But all failed: chatbots responded mechanically, lacking human empathy, only repeating general advice like “Breathe deeply”; online exercises made her more tired because they didn’t suit the hormonal cycle of perimenopause, when estrogen decrease leads to fatigue and mood changes according to research from the New England Journal of Medicine, showing perimenopausal women have double the risk of depression, and in America, about 4 in 10 women experience psychological symptoms according to the CDC; friends gradually distanced themselves because she refused meetings, like when her daughter Olivia, 20 years old studying at university in Portland, called: “Mom, I’m coming back to Seattle this weekend, let’s walk around Lake Washington? I’m worried about you,” and Anna replied coldly: “I’m busy, focus on your studies, don’t worry.” Tight finances—with a teacher’s salary of about 60,000 USD/year after tax—prevented her from affording long-term psychological therapy at private clinics in Seattle, where costs can reach 150 USD/session, and the American public health system often has waiting lists up to 6 months for non-emergency cases, similar to the situation in America where according to the APA, about 20 percent of middle-aged women face financial barriers in accessing mental health, with 32 percent of women not receiving services despite need due to cost and stigma according to KFF. According to a NIH survey, more than 20 percent of middle-aged women face difficulties in accessing mental health services due to financial and social barriers, and Anna was a victim of that system, feeling more isolated than ever, even affecting colleagues like Rachel, who often had to substitute for her extra hours because Anna was frequently absent due to fatigue, and Sarah, her close friend from Austin, who started worrying and sending weekly messages but receiving few responses. Additionally, a secondary neighbor named Karen, a 50-year-old homemaker living next door, often knocked to ask: “Anna, do you want to go to Pike Place Market together?” but Anna always refused: “I’m busy, Karen, thanks,” making the neighborly relationship distant, reflecting American culture where people rarely intervene in each other’s personal lives.
To illustrate the accumulating difficulties, consider the case study of Maria, 46 years old, an office worker in New York, who experienced mild depression after losing her job due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Maria started with physical symptoms like insomnia 5 nights/week, prolonged fatigue preventing her from gym workouts, hair loss due to vitamin deficiency, bad skin with acne due to stress, and a 15 lb weight gain from eating fast food. Mentally, she was anxious about finances, irritable with her children, and tried seeking help through the Calm app but was disappointed due to lack of empathy. She lost connection with friends, lacked trust due to mental health stigma in the Latino community, and couldn’t afford therapy at 200 USD/session. The process: Maria tried chatbots for 2 months but gave up, then joined free online support groups but felt misunderstood, leading to deeper isolation. As a result, after 4 months, Maria sought a nutritionist, building a high-protein diet, reducing symptoms by 50 percent, but it took 6 months to stabilize her mood, proving that accumulating difficulties require comprehensive intervention. In the broader American social context, with 32 percent of women not accessing psychological services despite need according to KFF, women like Maria and Anna often face greater barriers due to high costs and lack of comprehensive insurance, especially in states like Washington where the uninsured rate is about 7 percent according to the CDC, leading to delayed health care.
Then the turning point came unexpectedly, amid the American social context shifting with the increase in digital platforms supporting health post-COVID-19 pandemic, when the usage rate of health apps increased by 30 percent according to a CDC report in 2023. During a rainy evening, while scrolling Facebook on her old laptop, Anna saw an ad for StrongBody AI—a platform connecting global health experts, shared on the wall by her old college friend Sarah from Austin. Sarah messaged: “Anna, I think this is great, try it out, it connects directly with experts, not machines.” At first, she hesitated, thinking it was just another tech app with technical limitations like slow network connection in the Capitol Hill area due to old Comcast infrastructure, or an unfriendly interface for beginners. But the introduction to direct connection with real experts attracted her, especially compared to American apps like BetterHelp, where satisfaction rates reach 70 percent according to an APA survey but still lack global personalization. She registered an account through the StrongBody AI website, entering a simple email and password, confirming via OTP sent to her inbox, and through the smart matching system based on interests in mental health, women’s physical health, and symptoms like insomnia, she was connected to Dr. Laura Jenkins, an American psychologist living in Denver, specializing in women’s health and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with 15 years of experience helping women after divorce, including cases related to perimenopausal hormonal fluctuations. Laura was not an AI chatbot but a real person working independently through the platform, with a degree from the University of Denver and certification from the APA. The first conversation via video call on StrongBody AI surprised Anna: Laura listened comprehensively, asking about daily lifestyle like eating habits with a daily calorie index of about 1500, relationship with daughter Olivia, even irregular menstrual cycles to understand hormonal imbalance—a common problem in perimenopause, where estrogen levels decrease can lead to depression according to research from the New England Journal of Medicine, and in America, about 4 in 10 perimenopausal women experience psychological symptoms according to the CDC. “Anna, you’re not alone. We’ll rebuild together from the pieces, starting with understanding your body and mind, with fluctuating estrogen that can increase cortisol—the stress hormone—by 30 percent,” Laura said gently, her warm voice through the headphones creating a sense of closeness like sitting in a local Starbucks cafe. The difference was stark compared to previous automated tools: StrongBody AI is just a bridge, not intervening in the treatment process, but letting experts like Laura lead, even though sometimes there are technical limitations like video lag due to weak network, forcing Anna to switch to text chat. The simple interface with personalized tracking journal, gentle voice in guides, and plan adjusted to women’s biological cycle—all helped Anna build trust. She felt the lavender scent from the essential oil Laura suggested buying at the local Walgreens pharmacy, and the touch from the daily notebook, where she wrote emotions, sharing with Olivia via message: “Honey, mom is trying a new platform StrongBody AI, hope it gets better, support mom okay?”
Integrating a natural usage situation of StrongBody AI: During an evening, Anna sent a request about insomnia symptoms, and the matching system connected her with a nutritionist, she filled in interest information, received an email notification about suitable services, then chatted via B-Messenger with voice translation if needed, leading to a personalized plan, resulting in better sleep after 2 weeks. In the broader American social context, with 23 percent of women likely to develop depression after divorce according to The Supportive Care, women like Anna often turn to digital platforms to overcome barriers to traditional health care access.
The recovery journey started from small changes, but it was not easy, requiring Anna’s personal effort as the main catalyst, combined with support from StrongBody AI and Laura as motivation and supporting agent, in the American social context where middle-aged women often have to self-rely to overcome crises, similar to a 70 percent recovery rate after divorce after 5 years according to the APA. Laura guided Anna to drink enough 2 liters of water daily for hydration, reducing the risk of fatigue due to dehydration up to 20 percent according to the AHA; practice deep breathing 10 minutes morning and evening with the 4-7-8 technique (inhale 4 seconds, hold 7 seconds, exhale 8 seconds) to reduce cortisol—the stress hormone—and increase natural serotonin; go to bed before 10 p.m. with a dark room and no phone to improve REM sleep, important for mental health according to Stanford University research; and have a full breakfast with organic oats, fresh fruits like bananas and blueberries to supplement serotonin, with a 300-calorie portion to control weight. At first, Anna complied, feeling her body lighter—skin brighter thanks to hydration, hair less falling thanks to balanced nutrition with vitamin B from oats. But then relapses: sleepless nights because old memories flooded back, fatigue made her skip exercises, losing motivation. Laura supported via late-night messages on StrongBody AI, even though sometimes the app loaded slowly due to technical limitations in the mobile version: “Try walking around Kerry Park, breathe in the fresh Seattle air, and remember your effort is the key.” She joined a virtual support group with other American women on the platform, sharing stories, but Anna had to proactively participate to overcome shyness, leading to deep conversations with a member named Jessica from Denver, who shared: “I was the same, but it gets better gradually thanks to the expert.” When hormones changed due to perimenopause, with estrogen decreasing 50 percent according to the CDC, Laura adjusted the plan—adding 20 minutes of gentle yoga instead of intense cardio, based on knowledge of progesterone’s role in stabilizing mood, and suggesting omega-3 supplements from salmon to reduce brain inflammation. The journey was not linear: days Anna cried sobbing remembering David, video calling Laura: “I can’t take it anymore, why is everything so hard?” and Laura replying: “That’s normal, tell me in detail your emotions today”; days she laughed joyfully after completing an exercise, feeling life return, and sharing with Rachel at school: “I’m progressing, but I have to force myself a lot, try it sister.” An important event in the journey was the weekend trip to Olympic National Park with Olivia, where Anna self-organized to reconnect the family—her personal effort as catalyst, with Laura supporting via StrongBody AI by sending an anti-stress plan like meditation by the Hoh Rain Forest beach, where she breathed the salty forest wind and felt leaves under her feet. There, Anna faced an anxiety attack when the forest rain evoked old memories with David, but she self-applied the breathing technique, combined with Laura’s advice via the app: “Remember, the rain comes and goes, like emotions, note it right away in your journal.” This event showed that StrongBody AI and the expert were motivation, but Anna’s effort—like self-driving 3 hours on the I-5 highway, gas cost 40 USD, and sharing emotions with her daughter during a seafood dinner at a local restaurant—truly pushed recovery, helping her reduce anxiety symptoms by 40 percent according to her personal journal. Additionally, secondary friends like her brother-in-law Tom living in Bellevue often called to ask: “Anna, do you want to join family dinner?” but through the trip, Anna began opening up: “I’ll try, Tom, thanks,” making family relationships gradually warmer, reflecting American culture where extended family is often a source of support but needs individual effort to maintain.
A real case study: Anna, 44 years old in Los Angeles, started small changes like drinking water but relapsed due to work stress. Through StrongBody AI, the expert supported messages, adjusted hormone plan, leading to recovery after 4 months, better sleep, 40 percent reduced anxiety. In the broader American social context, with 38 percent of women in late perimenopause having depressive symptoms according to NIH, women like Anna and Anna often need personalized support to overcome the non-linear journey.
An unexpected episode occurred in the third month: Anna experienced an intense migraine, accompanied by extreme anxiety—a symptom of accumulated stress and hormonal imbalance, according to medical diagnosis possibly related to chronic migraine affecting 15 percent of American women according to the CDC, especially in perimenopausal women due to progesterone decrease causing vascular inflammation. She panicked, thinking of calling emergency via 911, feeling her heart beating fast at 120 beats/minute and cold sweat pouring, but remembered StrongBody AI. She sent an urgent request via the app, despite technical limitations like slow notification due to weak mobile network in suburban areas, taking 5 minutes to load. Laura connected immediately with a French endocrinologist through the platform—Dr. Sophie Laurent, specializing in women’s hormones from Paris. Sophie guided via video call in detail: check blood pressure at home with an Omron meter she bought at the pharmacy for 40 USD, measuring 140/90—higher than normal; take 400mg ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation, combined with rest in a dark room; and adjust diet with added omega-3 from 200g salmon/week to balance estrogen, because Stanford University research shows omega-3 reduces migraine symptoms by 30 percent in women. “This could be a sign of hormonal imbalance after prolonged stress, but with regular monitoring, we can control it,” Sophie explained, professional but warm voice. Thanks to timely connection, Anna avoided a costly hospital trip of about 200 USD, and overcame by resting 2 days, massaging her head with lavender oil suggested by Laura, combined with self-massage effort following app video instructions and journaling: “Today terrible headache, but thanks to Sophie, I’m better.” This support emphasized that StrongBody AI only connects, letting experts handle professionally, but Anna’s effort—like detailing symptom journaling and adhering to medication—was decisive, helping her reduce migraine frequency from 3 times/week to 1. In the broader American social context, with 60 percent of women having menopause-related migraines according to the American Headache Society, women like Anna often face difficulties in accessing emergency care due to high costs and lack of comprehensive insurance.
After six months, the results were evident: Anna slept soundly 8 hours per night thanks to new habits, bright smooth skin thanks to care regimen with American brand Neutrogena cream containing hyaluronic acid, reduced 8kg through balanced nutrition with BMI back to 23, stable mood with fewer anxiety attacks thanks to CBT from Laura. She returned to work with new energy, painted again and even organized a small exhibition at school attracting 50 parents, reconnected with family—a small gathering at Starbucks cafe, where she laughed with Olivia and Sarah, sharing: “Mom thanks you for your patience, and thanks to StrongBody AI that mom found support.” She emphasized the meaning of proactive women’s health and happiness care: in modern American society, where independent women are easily isolated due to urban pressure and gender stereotypes, deep connection can save lives, similar in America where 70 percent of middle-aged women improve mentally after personalized therapy according to the Women’s Health Association. Anna is a vivid proof, but she also expanded her life with other aspects: joining a local art club at Seattle Artists Collective, dating an old college friend named Michael—a 47-year-old journalist, starting with coffee at local Starbucks; planning a solo trip to Hawaii with a 1500 USD budget, where she will paint by the beach; and even taking an online photography course on Coursera to develop a new hobby. However, the journey continues—Anna still sometimes faces difficulties like winter fatigue due to harsh Seattle weather, or fleeting memories of David when listening to classical music, but with personal effort like daily self-yoga and support from friend network like Rachel and Sarah, she progresses significantly, realizing that health is a lifelong journey, not stopping at one platform or expert, but in self-reliance and broader connections in life, with goals like losing another 5kg and organizing a personal exhibition next year.
A separate case study: Rebecca, 47 years old in Boston, experienced divorce and depression. Through StrongBody AI, connected to a psychologist, built a care team with nutrition and yoga. Process: register, matching, weekly chat, hormone adjustment, leading to 60 percent symptom reduction, return to work, family reconnection, proving comprehensive benefits. In the broader American social context, with 23 percent of women likely to develop depression after divorce according to The Supportive Care, women like Rebecca and Anna often need continuous support to maintain progress.
In isolation, deep connection and proactive care can save lives. Anna now awakens, inner harmony, ready for a new journey—a strong American woman, with a hot tea cup on the table, wide open window welcoming morning sun, and new paintings waiting to be drawn, while the recovery journey continues with challenges and joys ahead.
