Lisa captioned her post: ‘The madness of the menopause continues…. It’s ok to not be ok that’s the moral of this week’s Midweek Menopause Madness.
‘Thank you for all your continued support.
‘It’s a rollercoaster and sometimes depending on lifestyle changes, stress, world events, illness, life in general the darkness and sadness hits me/us.
‘In times like these it’s good to share, it’s good to talk, it’s also good to reevaluate what might be the triggers, looking at diet, and also making sure we move!’
However, while Lisa admits she and partner George have clashed at times, she previously said he has been a rock through her menopause and they are happy to not have kids.

The star candidly said in an interview that ‘kids are amazing and enrich your life, but let’s be honest, there are enough kids in the world’.
She also explained that George was ‘patient and kind’ to her during the menopause when she would have ‘crazy rages’ and fly ‘off the handle’.
Lisa told The Sun: ‘Some days I couldn’t get out of bed because of debilitating bleeding during my monthly cycle but George would just hold me, and tell me everything would be OK.
‘There were periods when my clothes didn’t fit me and I felt really down. When you’re in the thick of it you think it will never end. Why am I angry, over-emotional — you just don’t know what is going on. George was there for me every step of the way — I’ve really lucked out with him.’
Lisa went on to share her feelings around children and revealed even though she loves her sister’s children she is happy to hand them back at the end of the day.
The star admitted there’s ‘too much screaming’ but she enjoys watching ‘them grow’ – while George said he didn’t feel he was ‘missing out’ by not having children with Lisa.
