Thanks Hurdity- it will need to be put on hold still I come back from holiday but I hope it takes off, if even to get together a few times and put names to faces. I found the miscarriage one years ago to be very useful. I think we can talk about anything but I wouldn't want them to turn into mega moaning sessions. mini moaning is ok though!
It would be good to catch up with people who understand what you're going through.

I'll see how it goes when I get back and am looking forward to catching up with Tempest! ( we'll all need to wear Jimmy McJimmy hats to recognise one another! ) or look out for the snarling, muttering , cussing females ( and that's just trying to order tea and a scone ) x

[Tempest]

Ha ha!!!!!!

Michelle, I have a priceless story about my 'scone rage' incident when I was in perimenopause which I'll save for when we meet. I didn't know peri was happening at the time and Hubby still gets nervous when I order a scone even now......

[MicheleMaBelle]

Looking forward to it Tempest! I'm sure that there will be more than one meltdown story, baked goods or otherwise! 😂

I think it's a great idea...I'm on the east coast though, not far from Edinburgh..
There are support groups for alcoholics, gamblers etc, where people meet, but nothing for Menopause/depression.It could be run like a coffee morning in community centre... maybe the Menopause Matters head office or British Menopause Association (not sure if that's the right name for it) could look into setting something up..and ask those who attend to make a small donation like a Macmillan coffee morning, for the running of them

Thanks Jims Mrs. I'll look into options x

GRL- you can always come for a mini break ( provided you're not a total nutter! ) 

[Elizabethrose]

        Haha, you are a natural born comedian Michelemabelle, that made me choke on my tea! Hahaha!!  Actually I think I might fly up to join you - you'd certainly be game for a laugh! Hahaha! x

[MicheleMaBelle]

excellent idea- would mean more scones for us! Result. Right girls, Bonnie bobbies out! And I do have a story to tell you about that.. .x

[CLKD]

MINDCharity has walk-in centres which may be another place to put your idea forward? 

[GypsyRoseLee]

I promise I'm pretty sane 

If people were happy to state the area in which they live, we could perhaps organise various local meet ups?

[MicheleMaBelle]

Agree GRL
