“This is so important … to share,” one social media user wrote. “How beautiful!”

Another gushed, “Thank you for helping to normalize talking openly about perimenopause and menopause! 🔥🔥.”

Last week, the “Scream” star spoke to Gayle King about her menopause journey during a “CBS This Morning” interview.

“I realized that I was in perimenopause when I started having my period every two weeks,” she explained.

“One doctor also just told me this could last, in the worst case scenario, 10 years,” the “Charlie’s Angels” star continued. “And I was like, ‘I will never make it 10 years like this!’”

Barrymore also clapped back at claims that women are “old” and “done” when they reach menopause age.

“That’s not it,” she said. “Women in their 40s, 50s and 60s are looking so attractive, feeling so vibrant, living their best lives.”
