Anxiety During Menopause and How Homeopathy May Be Useful

Have you sat in her car, hands gripping the steering wheel, heart pounding?

Feeling overwhelmed?

The noise, the crowds, the decisions, it can all get too much.

Even small tasks leave you feeling anxious?

Sleep is restless, your mind racing with worries about the future?

Is this this just part of menopause?

In my work with women experiencing menopause, I often see anxiety emerge alongside sleep disturbances and hormonal shifts.

Why can Menopause Trigger Anxiety?

Anxiety is a sense of worry over normal everyday events. You may be anxious about things that are about to happen or what you think could happen in the future.

Anxiety is a common symptom during menopause. It can appear out of nowhere, racing thoughts, a tight chest, a sense of unease that won’t shift. Sleep may be disturbed, making everything feel harder.

✦ Anxiety and sleep issues are often linked. Poor sleep can heighten feelings of worry, while anxiety itself can keep you awake. This cycle can also contribute to memory lapses and headaches.

✦ Fluctuating oestrogen levels can affect the nervous system, leading to changes in mood. When oestrogen is higher, you may feel more balanced. As it drops, low mood and anxiety can set in.

✦ An overactive thyroid, which becomes more common with age, can also trigger anxiety. It’s worth checking if this could be a factor.

If your anxiety is linked to hormonal changes, it may ease as you move through menopause. Understanding why anxiety occurs is the first step, and there are natural strategies, including homeopathy, that can support you through this time of your life.

Tips to Help Deal with Anxiety During Menopause

Now that we understand why anxiety can increase during menopause, here are practical tips that may help.

Tip 1 - Maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly

It is important to maintain a healthy diet and do regular exercise to minimise health problems and promote self-esteem and well-being.

Weight-bearing exercise, such as walking and running, helps to maintain bone health. Yoga and Pilates can improve flexibility, posture, and balance while also supporting mental well-being. Regular movement boosts mood by releasing endorphins, helping to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

Tip 2 - Sleep well

Try and get adequate sleep as this is essential for managing menopausal symptoms. Poor sleep can worsen anxiety, mood swings, fatigue, and even physical discomfort. But with hormonal fluctuations disrupting your sleep cycle, getting enough rest can feel like a challenge.

Tip 3 - Shift your mindset

Journaling can be a powerful tool for managing menopause symptoms, reducing anxiety, and shifting your mindset. Writing things down helps you gain clarity, spot patterns, and challenge negative thoughts.

Replace negative thoughts with compassionate, realistic alternatives.

Tip 4 - Laugh

Take time to laugh. Laughter isn’t just about feeling good in the moment. It has real benefits for both your mind and body. A good laugh helps relieve tension, reduces stress hormones, and releases endorphins, which can boost mood and promote relaxation.

Tip 5 - Get support

Reach out to others and don’t struggle alone, reach out for support from friends, family, colleagues, or professional help. This can help you deal with challenges and achieve your goals.

Managing anxiety naturally during menopause often requires a combination of lifestyle strategies and gentle therapies such as homeopathy for anxiety during menopause.

How Homeopathy Supports Anxiety During Menopause

Menopause can bring about a variety of symptoms, and anxiety is often one of the most challenging to manage. The homeopathic approach focuses on you as an individual, tailoring treatments to your specific symptoms and health history.

If you’re looking for homeopathy for anxiety during menopause, a personalised approach can provide relief tailored to you and your unique symptoms. In my work with women experiencing menopause, I’ve seen homeopathy help reduce anxiety while also supporting sleep and mood.
