Don’t Let Menopause Hijack Your Life

 “I feel hijacked by my own feelings and the menopause has been the most disturbing and disruptive time I have ever experienced”.

I struggle with panic attacks, emotional outbursts and erratic mood swings as well as anger, irrational behaviour, downers, and an inability to make decisions. I am at times overly sensitive and intolerant, often unable to cope, whilst at other times feeling nothing but utter despair. 

  My placid nature has been replaced by a volatile and unpredictable manner, totally out of character for me.  I have become controlling, unsettled and obsessive.  I am restless, judgemental, and frequently feel overwhelmed and filled with self-doubt.  My confidence is shattered and I feel powerless to do anything about it.  These emotions are extremely alien to me and so difficult to understand”.

“I have seen a huge change in all of the symptoms I was experiencing and a marked improvement in my overall well-being since beginning this programme. The support I have received from Eileen has been second to none and her knowledge and expertise greatly appreciated.

Overall I feel so much better than when I started our programme 3 months ago and I’m in a totally different frame of mind.

The remedy seems to have worked its magic as I’m feeling much better than I was. My sleep has improved and there are no signs of the chest tightness or panicky feelings either. The overwhelming feeling has gone and I can now take action and achieve. The feeling of being better able to cope with most things has resulted in me being more decisive and my focus is back. The fogginess has shifted and my rational thinking has returned enabling me to once again put things in perspective. I no longer feel a sense of dependency, I feel lighter and more capable and I feel empowered to do things. I was a perfectionist and I have now cut myself some slack and stopped being so angry at myself. The sadness is nowhere near as prominent and if it does appear, I can shake it off quickly. I’m a very creative person and I am delighted to now have the confidence to book myself onto some courses, something I couldn’t have considered before.

The hot flushes and night sweats have stopped – even after having a glass of wine!

What’s been excellent with the programme is the accessibility to Eileen. If I have a query or a tough day there is an immediate response. It’s total support. By letting Eileen know how I felt, I have gained so much insight into why I react the way I do to things. I know now what I can do and what remedies to use if needed to help me out of that state, whereas in the past it would have resulted in a panic attack. The programme has been such a positive experience and I feel I can now stand on my own two feet and cope better after our work together.”
