Well done on being brave and posting this today - sending everyone suffering (for whatever reason) a huge hug at this time of year. My menopause journey hasn't been smooth either and I too thought I should have been 'OK' as I was on HRT. The more we talk about menopause and fighting for the correct treatment for us personally, the more everyone will 'get it'. It is a personal ride every woman goes on and there isn't a one solution fix for all. It takes strength and courage to speak up and say this isn't working for me. I wish you all the best on your journey of recovery and very must look forward to your posts in the New Year. I hope everyone a restful Christmas x
I am so terribly sorry for what you are going through, it sounds horrific. Im glad you found the help you need and deserve. Setting up the flock was such a gift to the women who read it. Sharing that you're struggling is tough I imagine but anyone who has benefited from your writing will understand and be here when everything is brighter again. Rest and recover in the meantime . The best of lluck to you x
I missed your voice! I wondered if your new life was so full-on that you just didn’t have time to dedicate to The Flock…I’m so sorry you’ve been through such a tough time but happy you’ve now got the help & support you need. Hormonal issues & trauma intertwined - I’ve been there! Sending much love xx
We don’t know each other in real life, but sending big hugs and high fives for your continued progress! I have also struggled so much over the last year+ with hormonal issues (despite HRT patches started some months ago--sounds like I should look into that!). The brainfog, anger, and anxiety have had a huge impact and it’s terrifying to lose myself that way. Thank you for sharing your experience!
What an incredible post. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. We need more people like you willing to lift the lid on the realities of menopause and how it can impact. So glad to hear you’re able to write again. Wishing you and your family an very happy Christmas xx
So very sorry to read all of this I had wondered where you were. But very happy that things are improving. I hope you get to spend some time with your 2 men over the festive period. Can't wait for your 2023 weeklies and more..much love xx
Thank you for sharing. It will help many others. The whole menopause area needs much more attention. As does the impact of trauma. I am finding Gabor Maté very helpful right now. So glad that you have two great doctors. Take care.
