So I’m looking for some feedback really as I have been prescribed HRT patches and feel anxious to start using them. For context I am 42 on currently on desogesterel mini pill. For a while now I have been struggling with sleep waking up at 3am and not being able to get back to any kind of sleep. Some days I feel full of rage and that everything and everybody is against me some days I’m emotional and quite a lot of the time I feel anxious like I have a constant worrying nagging feeling I can’t drop. This have been my symptoms the main issue is the anxiety. This does not interfere with my work infact it’s mainly when I am at rest. I’m worried the patches will interfere with my cycle as I can go months without a sniff of a period because of the mini pill. Has anybody got any positive feedback of this particular type of patch or advice if in a similar situation?

Third year student nurse here looking for advice. Approaching my managing placement and trying to juggle working hours alongside childcare. The ward I will be working on doesn’t offer the typical 12 hour shifts that I would need to get way with doing 3 shifts a week they are basically 9.5 hour shifts which means I’ll have to do 4 days. I’ve never worked nights because it’s never really come up that I have needed to. My question is how are working nights really?? Any tips on working 2 nights and possibly 2 days? Any advice welcomed
