Early menopause, when a woman stops having periods before age 45, can affect mental health. It may happen due to genetics, medical treatments, or health conditions. The sudden drop in hormones can lead to mood swings, anxiety, and depression. Women experiencing early menopause might feel isolated or struggle with changes in their body and emotions. It is crucial to seek support from healthcare providers, counselors, or support groups. Understanding and managing symptoms can improve mental well-being. Healthy lifestyle choices, like regular exercise and a balanced diet, can also help. Open communication with family and friends can provide additional support, making this transition easier to handle.

Have you ever used journaling for your mental wellbeing during menopause? I offer FREE online workshops for women on the first Wednesday of the month - the next date is Wednesday 6th December 8-8:30pm. What will you get from attending? Rest, self-reflection and the opportunity to tap into any triggers in your life or behaviours, habits and beliefs that no longer serve you so you can take action in letting them go, inviting calm and reduce your anxiety. It is a safe space where you can stay with your camera on or off, join in the discussions or stay quiet, whatever works for you. Tickets usually go fast as it's free and there's limited availability to keep the intimacy.
