Three weeks of #HRT and counting . Wanna find out Three weeks of #HRT and counting . Wanna find out how I'm getting on? Well, I've only gone and written a #blogpost all about it (course I blinkin' have, that's what I do 🤓) You can have a good old nosey read by clicking the link in my bio that'll take you straight through to the post. And if you haven't got chance to read it now, quickly click on it and bookmark to save for later, it's a good 'un 💁‍♀️ . Three weeks of rubbing gel into my thighs and popping little tiny pills that look like what I imagine my eggs to look like, bit weird I know but honestly #ifyouknowyouknow My #perimenopause journey has proper sucked at times but I'm feeling like the fog is slowly starting to lift. . I promised to take you along on this journey with me and so I want you to let me know what you'd like to know. Fire your perimenopause questions at me and I'll do my best to answer them based on my own experience. I ain't no doctor so can't give you medical advice but I can certainly offer you a pair of ears that love to listen 👂👂 . The only way we can help each other is to listen and to share our stories. This is about building a community of women who can help support each other through this quite frankly ghastly stage of our lives. . So before I head off, things you need to remember.... link in bio, ask me your perimenopause questions, keep talking. Loves you lots x . . . . . #menopausecommunity #hormones #perimenopausecommunity #perimenopausal #midlifewomen #menopausesupport #menopausesymptoms #menovist #menomatters #menopausa #menopausia #supportnetwork #womenshealth #perimenopauselikeaboss #perimenopausejourney #menopausejourney #mymenopause

Escaping the world . When life gets on top of me t Escaping the world . When life gets on top of me there's one place I like to go to #escapethenoise and try and put things into perspective again. It sounds a bit weird, but it's almost like some kind of strange pilgrimage type thing. . The walk up to it is quite tricky - the steepest hills and slippy, chalky ground - I've nearly come a cropper on so many occasions. But the rewards at the top always make it worth the climb. Views for miles, endless skies, beautiful unbroken birdsong and the kind of tranquility I haven't ever found anywhere else. I absolutely love it up here 😍 (check out my stories for some lush views) . I posted yesterday about what good mental health means to me (the link to the post is in my bio) and I guess one element is recognising when things are starting to build up in my head and then taking myself off somewhere quiet in nature before it implodes. . So as I sit here and have a big old ugly cry I know that this is good for me. That this is exactly what I need right now. I need to let those thoughts and feelings out through my tears and into the breeze. To let them escape. . The problems remain, but the release it brings leaves me feeling stronger, more capable, clear headed and better equipped to tackle them head on. . Don't under estimate the power of crying. It doesn't for one second show weakness. It is a release. A coping mechanism. An outlet. A reset. And it always, always makes you feel better. . A much needed two and a half hour #walk, just me and the dog, in one of my fave places, sat on a bench, wondering about all the other people that have come up here to just sit and be. I feel like I'm probably in good company. . . . . . . #mindfulmonday #timeout #healingpowerofnature #nature #ashfordhangers #poetstone #walkingtherapy #dogwalk #reflection #mentalclearout #mentalhealthwarrior #mentalhealthmatters #copingstrategy #timeinnature #naturelover #mondaymorning #simplicity #thoughtsinwords #artofhealthyliving
Today is #worldmentalhealthday2021 a day perhaps t Today is #worldmentalhealthday2021 a day perhaps that is more poignant than it's ever been. We've had a right old couple of years of it haven't we 🥴 . I wanted to mark this day by having a think about what good #mentalhealth means to me and so have put all my thoughts down in a new #blogpost for you all (you can find the link to it in my bio). . My mental health journey, like everyone else's, is a personal thing. None of us go through the same things, none of us feel the same feelings at the same time, and none of us think the exact same thoughts. It is an entirely unique experience. But one thing we do share is the ability to talk about it - a collective conversation to open up the doors to help ourselves and each other. . The pandemic taught me that I'm not quite as together as I thought I was. That I still have plenty of insecurities lurking. That I am at times riddled with anxiety. And that this overthinking head of mine can take me to some pretty nasty places. But it also taught me that I am not in this alone. That I am stronger than I think. And that help is out there if you just go looking. . I want to tell you about a really useful resource called the @antiburnoutclub which is a #wellness platform that offers over 150 on demand wellness courses and videos, as well as various online resources and access to an understanding and supportive online community. In support of this year's #worldmentalhealthday they are offering free membership for the rest of October if you sign up in the next 24 hours 👉 www.theantiburnoutclub.com . When I sat down and thought about what good mental health is to me I realised that the answer lay in first recognising what isn't good for me. It's something I'd recommend you take a bit of time to do yourself today. Grab yourself a spare few minutes, take a cuppa and a notepad into the garden (might as well make the most of these last teeny tiny remnants of summer!) and jot down all the things that make you feel great and the things that make you feel wobbly. I know for me, the very act of getting things from out of my head and onto paper is a form of therapy in itself. . Give it a go - What does good mental health mean to you?
I've finally got my mitts on the elusive #hrt Well I've finally got my mitts on the elusive #hrt Well, OK, so I've been on it a week now, but things have been bloody hectic round here so I'm only really getting a chance to breathe and take it all in if I'm honest. . In the first of my new #perimenopause series I've written a new blogpost about the costs of HRT from my own personal experience. Before you head on over to the link in my bio to read the article and find out how much it cost, I want you to hazard a guess.... . How much do you reckon 3 months worth of #oestrogen gel and #progesterone tablets costs? Go on, I'm intrigued to know what you'd guess. . Remember, you can find out the answer by checking out the link in my bio, and also reading a little bit more about how I managed to get a #prescription
My current reads 📚 . I've currently got 5 of th My current reads 📚 . I've currently got 5 of these #books on the go, but wanted to also include 1 that I've just finished and LOVED, as well as my all time favourite book. . 📔 The Comfort Book by @mattzhaig I love all his books if I'm honest, but this one is literally what it says on the cover.... a comfort. I keep it by my bedside and dip into it whenever I need to. Lots of favourite and poignant pages have been folded back for easy access. . 📕 Where the Crawdads Sing by @authordeliaowens Just beautiful. Such a lovely landscape, all the atmosphere. My nightly read. . 📗 Mum, What's Wrong With You? by @lorrainecandy If you're a parent to a tween or teen girl you NEED this in your life. I smashed out 150 pages in one go the other weekend. Has made me roll my eyes, shed a tear, and laugh so hard I nearly fell out my hammock. So relatable and so reassuring! . 📔 Preparing for the Perimenopause and Menopause by @menopause_doctor Super easy to read and very understandable. My bible at the mo for obvious reasons. If you suspect you're going through the #perimenopause you need this in your life. . 📗 The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read by Philippa Perry Another parenting manual... do you get the sense I'm paranoid about how I raise my kids 😜 Just offers a few different perspectives, which I like. . 📕 Life in Pieces by @hotpatooties I love this lady, if you don't follow her on Insta already please do, she's so funny. This is her diary of lockdown and it is everything we were all thinking and more. Thank I might also have a small girl crush on her - she's brill! . 📔 Lanark: A Life in Four Books by Alasdair Gray. My fave book of all time. I was introduced to it as part of my course in uni, we were doing a module on Scottish literature. There's no way I would have ever chosen this book, just cos of the cover, it looked a bit hobbity for my liking. But I'm so glad it crossed my path, because it feeds my love of dystopian literature. I've read it 5 or 6 times now and every time I do I get something new from it. Not everyone's cup of tea... but then neither am I 😜
