I would recommend looking into James Pennabaker's Writing to Heal and Kathleen Adam's Journal to the Self*. *In the interests of full disclosure, I am a certified Journal to the Self facilitator. |

i suffered from a lot of hot flashes which lasted about 3-4 years! i just toughed it out by distracting myself. as far as feeling depressed, exercise was the main antidote to that, not just during menopause but in many other times of my life. in early 2012, i was recovering from being hospitalized, and I started using meditation as part of my recovery, first in the hospital by following what I remembered from having previously explored it from audio CDs. i continued this process, and then borrowed more meditation CDs from the public library. meditation is overlooked a lot as a modality since newbies have some difficulty at first on what to expect. another instant pick-me-up from anxiety is helping another person. it can be really small, but can really pay you back ten-fold. i hope you feel better - the situation right now with the pandemic adds an unprecedented layer of challenges to people's lives.
