Inside My Wardrobe

This week we talk with Diane Danzebrink, campaigner, psychotherapist and menopause expert about her experience of menopause which was brought on by surgery for a hysterectomy, after discovering she had ovarian cysts, endometriosis, adenomyosis and a large fibroid. So severe were the psychological effects of menopause that it almost resulted in Diane ending her life. She tells the story in this episode. Her website is www.menopauseawareness.co.uk and you can sign the petition (please do because it’s getting very close to the all-important 200k) here. There are also extensive resources available on her website, she also records a podcast called The Good The Bad and The Downright Sweaty Other episodes we have done on the menopause are: 78 Knowing and Navigating the Symptoms of menopause with Diane Danzebrink 79 Beyond the Bleed with psychologist Dr Becky Quicke 91 Sharon Hartmann – how to approach your GP 92 Food mood and hormones – Emma Ellice Flint 93 Testosterone is not just for boys, another great campaign
