Menopause Reactions

Menopause Reactions

“Menopause can be seen as a new beginning:
it’s a good time to assess lifestyle, health and to make
a commitment to strive for continuing wellbeing…”.1

Timing

Is ‘me time’ important?

In What Is Menopause? Feeling Positive About the Menopause the Australasian Menopause Society explain:

Menopause Reactions“Women may experience physical and emotional changes during menopause but that doesn’t mean life has taken a turn for the worse! Many women are prompted at this time to ‘take stock’ of their lives and set new goals. The menopause occurs at a time when many women may be juggling roles as mothers of teenagers, as carers of elderly parents, and as members of the workforce. Experts suggest that creating some ‘me time’ is important to maintain life balance. Menopause can be seen as a new beginning: it’s a good time to assess lifestyle, health and to make a commitment to strive for continuing wellbeing in the mature years”.2

Mental Health Self Help

What is some mental health self help?

In How To Manage Menopausal Symptoms: Managing Mental and Emotional Health the (Australian) Jean Hailes for Women’s Health elaborate on:

“There are many practical things you can do to look after your emotional wellbeing at this stage of life. For example:

  • Talk to someone about your feelings, such as a friend, family member, doctor or psychologist
  • Take time for yourself and do things you enjoy
  • Get quality rest when you can
  • Do regular physical activity, especially in a group or with friends
  • Ask your doctor about cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT)
  • Practise relaxation techniques
  • Pay attention to your inner voice and practise using positive affirmations.

If you are experiencing strong emotions, anxiety or depression, see your doctor”.3
