The symptoms came gradually, and then all at once. They hit me like a wall at the age of 42, although I had started seeing the trappings of menopause a year earlier. The bleeding was particularly worrying, I began bleeding very badly all the time and I couldn’t work or leave the house. I was hospitalised because of it. I felt anxious all the time and there was this sense of sadness that hung over me, I couldn’t shake it.
Before all of this, I was a really confident person and I was seeing a lot of success in my psychotherapy business. I was really healthy and active, and life was good.
