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? Will you ever feel like yourself again?

Understanding anxiety during menopause

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.

The good news? If your anxiety is linked to hormonal changes, it may ease as you move through menopause. Understanding what’s happening can be the first step towards finding the right support.

Tips to help deal with anxiety during menopause

Tip 1

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

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

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.

If you notice anxious or self-critical thoughts, ask yourself: Is this true? Is there another way to see this?

Replace negative thoughts with compassionate, realistic alternatives.

Tip 4

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

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.
