The side effects are incredibly difficult. Maisie continues to detail how both her physical and emotional health are impacted, so much so she finds it difficult to get out of bed some mornings.

She says: “It’s difficult to function. It’s an Olympic championship for me to get out of bed most days. Hot flushes. Irritability. You’ll feel detached from yourself. Like you’re a third person observing yourself. You’ll feel dizzy. It feels like I have bugs on me at all times. No matter if I want to just be happy, my chemical balance is saying no.”

Remaining positive is something Maisie has struggled with previously, and she continues to deal with the impact her condition has on her emotional wellbeing. “I went through a massive –well, I don’t think I’m truly out of it, but I am a lot better than I was – depressive part of my life from the age of 16 onwards. I know for a fact I can’t have children. This was the gut punch. I’m mourning something I never had, but I’ve always wanted. So it does hit me pretty hard sometimes.”

But, while she feels that a taboo still lingers around the menopause, Maisie says that there are some brilliant support groups that women can look to.
