"It's like being in a tunnel of darkness and not being able to escape. I couldn't even do my job anymore.Ms Jethwa spends her time in Bristol as a vlogger, radio show presenter and taking part in sports activities"Menopause was never brought up by my doctor when I went to them. They gave me antidepressants and something for my sleep which I didn't take."
"I'm from that generation where unless life is great, people talk about the successes. They don't talk about when things are not going well," she added.Marva Williams said she became a menopause coach to help other women struggling with severe symptoms as she did"I've had so many husbands say to me, 'you've saved my marriage, she just gets angry for no reason'," she said.
