During their 16 years of marriage, dinner with her husband on Valentine’s Day had always been an immovable fixture in Rebekah Brown’s diary.
However busy their life with three teenage children, full-time jobs and ageing parents became, this one date night was sacrosanct. But in 2019, Rebekah, then 46, a successful advertising planner, found she simply couldn’t face it.
‘I had no conversation to offer, my face had broken out in awful spots, I felt bloated and none of my clothes fitted,’ she says. ‘I felt so unattractive and joyless, like a walking black cloud.’
What Rebekah didn’t know was that she was going through the perimenopause the period leading up to menopause that can last several years. It’s a little understood time when our fertility hormones gradually dial down and psychological symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, loss of confidence and exhaustion can ramp up.
