Living with Menopausal Anxiety
The menopause journey brings many changes, and for some of us, anxiety becomes an unwelcome companion. Feeling anxious or overwhelmed during this phase is more common than you might think. In fact, fluctuating hormones, lifestyle shifts, and the emotional adjustments that come with menopause can all play a role in heightening feelings of worry or unease.

Menopausal Dry Eyes
As menopausal women, we often now talk about how our vaginas become dryer at this time of our lives, but other areas of our bodies can be affected in a similar way such, as our eyes.
Menopausal Weight Gain
For many women and in my own experience a lot of the symptoms associated with perimenopause, and menopause can initially feel like a subtle shift in our overall sense of well being, we just don’t feel like ourselves somehow, but we may not be able to quite identify why!
Menopausal Headaches & Migraines
I first realised that I was approaching the perimenopause when I started to experience migraine headaches. Having never experienced them before it was something of a shock when they started. Looking back, I was fortunate to have only experienced several migraines in total over a period of approximately 12 months.
