Hope you are feeling better ,meno is so cruel 😢

I dont cry everyday i just feel flat not happy or sad really bad anxiety depression i have started hrt but they never checked my bloods So got consult on mon with menopause specialist feel so stuck don't want to go anywhere I am perimenopausel so don't know why i feel so depressed really bad insomnia low sex drive. Dread going anywhere.

God bless you! I know how you feel i suffer from sleep anxiety and anxiety /heavy periods makes my anxiety worse! The dr suggested utrogestan help for sleep and bleeds!😂❤

It's great that you can still go out sometimes. I can't bring myself to do that anymore.

Thanks for this. Very helpful! 😊

May you find healing. I am in the same situation with anxiety. I prefer being out of the house than at home as I feel much better. I don't know if this is part of menopause, but I have suddenly got a sense of fear as well , like I fear going to shower. Maybe it is fear of having an anxiety attack whilst showering. Honestly , we as women are definitely warriors because we have to deal with body. changes throughout our lives, and it is not always understood well. I do the essential oils in a diffuser , I do the deep breathing techniques, I have the turmeric ginger milk before bed and that has helped. Insomnia has been whack. Sleep like 2 hrs, get up, and then fall off to sleep again after an hour or so for just 3 hrs.

Hi When u say testosterone tube. Can u explain what is that exactly and how is it used

not realy karen

Do you cry everyday? I had a complete hysterectomy I have been feeling so bad: I’m 46 years old, I was fiooding pads bleeding on to my bed everything very emotional cramping pains were so painful. V very tired all the time. As I’m writing this in tears telling you how blessed you are to have a husband. No one understands. You know what’s do strange in one of your videos you mentioned all you can eat is oats. I do the exact same thing I do strongly have high anxiety and depression. I have anxiety everyday and I cry everyday it’s debilitating. God Bless You.

Great info. Ty

I hope your on the mend❤

I've been on HRT for over a year mireena coil and estradot 100mg I'm 53 I'm still in the perimenopause, I'm bleeding and spotting it stop and restart after 2wks, I suffer from sleep anxiety and anxiety , this is big issue and UTI, crawling skin , cold flushes , I wake up feeling anxious at 4.am I cant sleep, it's a killer 😢❤

How long have you been on testosterone? How much are you on?

I wish I could rip the band aid off, (im allergic to them) I am queen of excuses. Love the blog and you look beautiful 😍

😂👠👢… I completely identify! I Hope you enjoyed your friend’s baby shower! xx

Happy New Year. Really enjoying the blogs as it’s keeping me sane knowing someone else has the same experience on this journey.

Wishing yourself and Gethin a very happy, healthy, peaceful and safe New Year! So glad to hear that things are getting slightly easier… Thank you for sharing! 🤗xx

Sending love and light. I am having one of these days as well. It’s so helpful to know you are not alone and your video was a huge comfort. Thank you for sharing your journey. You have no idea how much you are helping other women out ❤

This completely resonates with me, and so many others, for sure! Thank you for sharing-Sending a huge cwtch… 🤗xx

Completely agree with everything you said and can really relate. I'm so glad you've come on here and shared your experience its defiantly a healthy way to cope and really helps others who are also struggling. Sending my love and wishing you the best, tomorrow is a new fresh start so keep being you, you're doing amazing.

I can totally relate to this. I'm stopping drinking, it's not worth it. Thanks for doing this vlog. You're doing great ❤️

Thankyou for your honesty and bravery.... keep going Hun. Tomorrow WILL be better xxxx

I'm not exaggerating but I've lost count how many women I've told about pre menapausal,I never even knew you could have it and neither did the girls know and even worse you could have it up to do years prior , I got all my facts from you xx

Hi, my other half watches all of your updates as she’s going through the menopause. I’ve just been watching this one with her. I can’t relate to the menopause but I can relate to the anxiety. I have suffered with anxiety for years but I’m sooooo much better now. Going to the cinema was a real ordeal for me at one stage of my life but it wouldn’t be anymore. Just remember… at any point you are free to get up out of your seat and go outside for some fresh air and you are NOT trapped in there! I find meditation really helpful and I would recommend reading “the power of now” by eckhart Tolle x

👏👏👏 well done you for taking time to doing these vlogs 👍 stay strong you can smash it x

I understand all of this you talk about. I wonder if your estradiol is too low?? What are your numbers under 70? They should be over 100 - I understand it’s best at around 200 if you can tolerate it. Hope you /we all get better ❤️‍🩹

Where can I contact the consultant please ?

Thank you for sharing Sam!… Your difficulties with relaxing … and sleeping… and swallowing… and those feelings of dread and worry- are very familiar. Please know you are not alone - there are millions of us going through this. We appreciate all you do to share your own struggles, and ways you have found to manage them- 🙌🏼🙏🏼♥️

I truly can't say thank you enough for making us women going through this not feel so alone. Hugs to you and all of us going through this really challenging time ❤️

I so relate to everything you’ve said, I had to give up work 2 years ago because my palpitations have given me awful panic attacks and anxiety. I haven’t driven since as I’m terrified of having a panic attack whilst driving or out of the house. I didn’t have a period for seven months last year....guess who decided to visit me for Christmas....it looks like they are back with a vengeance. I just want to feel “ normal again”. 😩ps I’m forever putting things in the wrong place and either can’t remember a word or say a totally wrong one! 😆. Love your videos x

greetings! TY for sharing your struggles w/ this crap. I am really going thru a hard time w/ these heart flutters/skips/hard beats etc. I've had them off and on once in awhile my whole life... usually period related, but now it's been almost 2 mo non stop where they are every day. I know it's hormones but doc is putting a heart monitor on me for 2 wks just to be sure. I'm 51 and still have regular periods... but I think my hormones are just way off. perimenopause I guess? I asked my doc for HRT for the heart issues and she said she doesn't like to put women on it... too many risks she says. I'm getting a 2nd opinion bcus i feel being anxiety and heart flutter free is worth any risk. sending u lots of love... thank you again for your vlogs.

Not forgetting palps and stomach issues , I feel like a hypercondrac and drs arnt listening x

Luv ur blogs . I seem to be getting poorly , blood tests keep showing up high blood count . Had to get private tests . Now I am low in folate . Even did tyroid test privately . My normal gps gave me yet another fsh hormone test and it’s 37.2 and says on test (borderline ) can’t get to see gp , always no appointments . Anxiety ramped up , now getting stiff painful neck and weird dizzy head and eyes . No period for 7 wks . And so fatigue . So many issues . X

Don't think I'm too far away from you, I'm in Penarth! I just watched your vlog, very interesting. So many of us are suffering due to the lack of awareness and education of menopause x

Sorry to hear you’re struggling with migraines- me too. It’s like you say- stress triggers them- then they become relentless and pain really has a dramatic effect on mood… Take care of yourselves. Big hugs. xx

Thank you

Luv ur vids I am exact same but not on any hrt . I am 50 My worst symptoms are low energy low mood . Just wanna sleep all day . Also I am getting weird off balance feelings like my eyes feels dizzy and when I am walking I feel I am falling forward . I used to luv getting out and about and chatting but now I rush to shop and back . Is all this peri ? Still having periods but weird ones . Been brown for around a week and before that periods every other week or two weeks . I have also developed health anxiety which is disabling I feel no joy in life and like you I just wanna stay at home . Thinking do I need anti depressants?

Sending love, we appreciate you sharing your story and being so open and honest, normalising menopause experiences! x

Natural progesterone cream works wonders. I use Now brand. Remember natural USP progesterone is the feel good hormone.

Thank you for sharing your journey. It has been helping me immensely.

I'm going through menopause ,and I suffering from depression and anxiety too. I definitely agree you get more anxiety with it. Hot flushes are a nightmare . It's not spoken about enough. Everything you say is true and my heart goes out to you . I've spent the last 6 months in bed because I'm so anxious and worn out from it . Too scared to go outside . Just started HRT ,see if that helps . Happy to speak to you

You are a star. What you're doing is SO important....we do need to share! I live in Cardiff and am on a similar journey. Always here andhappy to chat/moan/laugh hysterically😫🤣 if you feel the need to offload to a fellow warrior Rhiannon x

Sam- if ever you want to get out for a cuppa and a natter, or need anything at all, I’m back in Cardiff every weekend caring for my mum… xx

I agree with allowing others to understand what we are going through. Of course, people have to willing and observant like your son.

I'm lying here in bed freezing for no reason and feeling spaced out from anxiety due to starting a new job this week and am seriously doubting whether I am going to be able to cope with this again being so worn down by it all. I feel so decrepit with my neck cracking and twisting into a widows hump, my vision blurring and my weight being almost out of control. I don't have a cycle anymore due to having a coil fitted against my better judgement but had no alternative because of the NHS giving up on trying to treat menopausal women. I thought I had worked it out and had it beaten by lowering my cortisol, but 3 days back in work and I feel like I've gone back to square one or straight to jail on the monopoly board. So Sick of this rubbish existence. Thanks for this vid, don't feel quite such a leper after hearing your thoughts. We need to support each other as we are more numerous than we realise. 😩

Love to see your updates and glad you’re getting to have real fun! Sorry you’re going through this but you’ll come out the other end an even stronger, more powerful woman! lots of love - Liv xxx

I totally relate to everything you say, I definitely thought that by my fifties life would be wonderful but crippling anxiety, terrifying skipped heart beats, headaches, memory loss..... (the list goes on!) has had an awful effect on my life. Thank you for sharing your story, I think it’s about time we all started talking about the struggle many of us go through with the menopause instead of just grin and bearing it!. X

Happy mother’s day, paddy’s day and international women’s day! Lovely to see you back ☺️ So glad to hear your treatment is working!

Your skin and hair is glowing! Love to hear other experiences I find it so fascinating how we all differ! It's great to see you're keeping yourself distracted and feeling more positive, you should make and post some baking videos! I recently started a series about my crazy menopause experience, I started my periods again at 50! So thats my update haha!
