  • A Menopause Free Minute to Cat Crisis and a New HRT Hurdles

    September 18, 2023

    The clouds of misery seem to have dispersed, for now. I’m too cynical to believe that they have disappeared completely. I’ve spent those days of normality trying to do as much as I possibly can whilst I have the emotional bandwidth, it’s nice not to feel like it’s waiting for…

  • The Never-Ending Journey For The Solution to My Midlife Sorrows

    September 11, 2023

    When Wednesday arrived, I took a much-needed day off after all the doctor drama earlier that week. I went to London to meet my friend for lunch, ate and drank what I wanted, and didn’t think about all the turmoil I’d been feeling. I wanted to forget everything for just…

  • Raging Against the Hormone Machine

    September 9, 2023

    I spend my Sunday determined not to fall back into the pit of hell I have only just climbed out of. I set some weekly goals, re-jig my routine and do lots of writing. When Monday comes, I am ready. After my shower, I get up and out for a…

    September 4, 2023

    It was 9:30 a.m. on a Saturday, and I had just woken up. Wow! And I didn’t want to cry!!! I grabbed my laptop and sat downstairs with a cup of tea, thankful that we now had milk! I had a productive morning and decided to take a break and…

  • Back Home to Hormonal Havoc and Riding the Meltdown Merry-Go-Round

    August 28, 2023

    Before we leave Tintagel for Padstow we go for breakfast, I really fancied a full English. We find a nice cafe, and order drinks as I eagerly scanned the menu. NO FULL ENGLISH. I actually wanted to cry, my mind went back to my niece’s wedding meltdown, that is exactly…

  • One Wedding, Two Waterfalls and Way Too Much Wine: Devon Delights and Cornish Charms

    August 21, 2023

    We had a long drive to Devon on Friday for my cousin’s wedding, so I decided to go to bed early the night before, I thought an hour or so extra sleep would do me good. Of course, my body had other ideas. I hadn’t accounted for my usual 3-4…

  • A Blood Test, No Mess Getting Dressed and A Battle With The Worry Weasel

    August 14, 2023

    On the day that I am due to speak to a Vitality GP, I of course feel full of beans. It’s the one rare day that I feel my best self. I’m not putting off tasks and find myself just generally getting shit done, all the while wondering what the…

  • Mood Swings, Melancholy & a Meltdown in Montmatre

    August 7, 2023

    By now, I hoped to be writing words full of fun and sunshine, blaming the misery of my recent posts on a blip, but I am now pretty much resigned to the fact that this hell that I’ve been experiencing is cause for some concern. The husband went on a…

  • What The Actual F*ck

    July 31, 2023

    After all my drama last week, I was glad to have a weekend at my friend’s house in Hereford scheduled in. I needed to have a couple of days where I didn’t even have to think for myself and by the time I was due to go home, I began…

  • The War Within Me – Overwhelm, Fear and A Ferocious Battle With Anxiety

    July 24, 2023

    When I got back from my holiday, I felt ready to take on the world. I had finished reading Manifest and did some goal setting whilst laying on a sun lounger in Crete. I was feeling inspired and, dare I say, a bit confident. The serendipitous events that took place…
