So this is my first post and I know I should have introduced myself and given some background first, but Im struggling this morning so I will give a condensed version...Im 33 been on meds since I was about 13 have tried over a dozen. Have anxiety, depression, Ocd. Finally did a gene site test and have started on Pristiq. The med is ok so far but I'm struggling this morning because my cycle is late for the second month in a row and I'm convinced its cancer. I have an appt on the 17th. I went to a different doc last month and he reasured me and gave me meds to start my cycle but I dont believe him so going to a new doc. I gave up coffee because I also have a damaged esophagus due to years of reflux and stomach issues...and it makes my anxiety worse. I recently started drinking it again and now im and anxious mess this morning. Why do I keep self sabotaging??!

Does coffee make a difference? I tend to drink a lot and my anxiety has been bad the past 2 days.
Mandy, I am so sorry that you are dealing with these feelings and emotions. You made a mistake and it is ok. Just take it one step at a time. Maybe you can find a doctor that you trust and be open to what he/she has to say. Sometimes, when I am really stressed my cycle is off too, so I am sure that could be affecting yours as well. My doctor has told me that is one of the first things affected by our stress, because it is all regulated by our hormones and stress makes our hormones go wacky.
I hope you are able to get some answers and peace. I wish you all the best, Mandy.
