Hello everyone! My name is Kate, I'm 54 years old and 3 years post menopause.
I have a Son aged 27 and a married Daughter aged 24. I have a cat and a guinea pig

The past few years, for me, have not been good, menopause wise. Hot flushes are gradually easing but my main symptom is the constant anxiety with a touch of depression thrown in.
I worry constantly about, well nothing at all really! I found my depression intensified after my youngest got married and left home, my Son had already left some years earlier.
Looking forward to reading through the forums and meeting you all
