Sometimes it can feel like you've been cast in a miserable soap opera drama, where nothing goes well, you're playing a character you don't much enjoy playing and you wish the scriptwriters would come up with a better outcome. My menopausal meltdown felt like that....until I learned how to exit the role on my terms.

Just be yourself. Easy to say and not so easy to figure out how to do. It's a phrase that seems to loom large at midlife - and can tie us up in knots, just compounding the whole menopausal anxiety crisis. Where do you even begin? Maybe tackling those little white lies are a way forward.

It's easy to believe that chronic stress will be triggered by work overload and that if we can just remove some of the things on our to-do list, we'll feel better. In midlife, overload can be common - and I talk about it as a factor in meltdown. However, it's not what occurs in our lives but how we feel about what occurs in our lives. In other words, if it doesn't stress us, it isn't stress.
