My greatest friend in times of need,
I talk to you, say what I please.
You help me out when times get tough,
You listen – never say you’ve had enough.
You’re the one I lean on every day,
So I can turn the busy to relaxed, do things my own way.
You take the weight so it’s off my chest,
Of all my friends, YOU are the BEST!
I agree that the only way to truly have that confidentiality is to tear it up. Digital devices are perhaps more easily accessed than paper! Have you always kept a diary?

I started to during a 2year bout of laryngitis. The last 3 months were totally without any sound from my voice. I taught for examinations with direction cards and a notebook. Texted or wrote to my husband and parents. And started writing my thoughts off and on. I started it as a daily habit post a surgical menopause, as my energy level and multi tasking ability changed, and we needed to restructure our home and my workflow to adjust. It’s been a wonderful experience and I actually achieve much more than I did pre menopause. My diary has been my greatest support through it all.

It was a huge change, and it forced us to change our lives and grow in very positive ways. I am quite open about it. I think more women need to speak about menopause 😊 as it helps families know their support is essential for this to be a positive time.
