@LauraPAuthor This is going to sound a little bonkers. Turn your shower slowly to icy cold for the last 30 seconds to 2 minutes of your shower. It activates your parasympathetic nervous system- so your body is not in flight/fight mode but is soothing itself. It’s brutal to do but it works.❤️

This afternoon I put the TV on for the kids and cried for a solid 90 minutes. I don’t know whether it helped yet.

Fantastic ❤️

Well people, I’m sorry I wasn’t with you for this week’s episode but I was driving back from filming ‘finals’ on Wednesday under super-Covid conditions. Here, anyway, is a lovely thank you to you lovely people from Greg and Georgie.

Lots of lovely books and candles off to their new homes today. can you spot your order? If you'd like to add a book to the pile.....www.book-ish.co.uk

Books ordered today ready to be packed up and sent off the thier new homes. @theAmyLow is working like a trojan, she's in on her own as I'm still in the Covid zone. Send her all the smiles (and vegan chocolate!) ❤

@LauraPAuthor Oh I feel your pain. We walked up and down the back alley😂❤️

Have had quite a productive couple of days of homeschool and working but realised we hadn't had any fresh air. Took the kids for a half hour walk while the light faded, and it was so cold, and they ran around in circles in empty parking spaces, and god, it felt bleak.

@fliceverett Oh no no no. It’s got to be a good thing if it means the words ‘perimenopause’ and ‘menopause’ will no longer be said in whispered tones followed by a visible shudder. Carrie is 53. Here’s hoping❤️

Who is going to watch new SATC? Overpaid idiots who can't cope with relationships in a post-covid New York sounds less fun than watching The Road in black and white.

@EmmaB_Radio @nicksnaith @magicfm Fabulous idea❤️

@harmoniousher Absolutely. I love the idea that my daughter will not have to go through this❤️

@hellgorge These stigmas have to be removed, otherwise we all suffer in silence x

Are all perimenopausal women aware of this? We need to be mindful of tampon use, especially if period flow is light. Thanks for sharing @hellgorge #MenopauseMattersUAE #Menopause #Periods

@50Sense @harmoniousher @Pausitivity2 @guardianculture I’ve recently discovered period pants and sleep shorts. Life changing❤️

@hellgorge @harmoniousher @Pausitivity2 @guardianculture I stopped in my 20s and went on to towels (thank God they'd changed from those massive doorstops of the 1970s and early 80s!). I never knew why I felt uncomfortable wearing tampons. Now I know!

Vaginal dryness is often seen a joke (looking at you today @guardianculture) when the truth is it can be a painful and debilitating menopause symptom Help us get menopause awareness posters into NHS centres to help break the taboo - find out more at pausitivity.co.uk
