What to do

[Cwoods]

When it's the time of the month my anxiety is always at its worst what remedies can help with that

Hi Cwoodside,

Usually when we have our cycles our hormones are all over the place which causes anxiety to be a little worse than normal. Also, we usually crave,sweets around our cycle time and that also affect our anxiety. U can take a hot bath, drink some soothing tea and listen to some awesome music. It always help me. Best wishes!!!

Hey

Do you have an android or iPhone , I found a little saving grace app called ' calm' I've only used the free parts so far but it teaches you mindfulness as you you some meditation . I am one of those people that doesn't stop content putting myself against getting it all done and I've been on burnout for two years . It really is fab and can be a short as 5 mins to however long you want but it makes you stop and take time to listen to yourself and be in the moment . Try it x

Meditation works wonders...

Apparently taking a bath once a week with the following ingredients regulate hormones and de-stresses

A cup of Epsom salts

10 drops of lavender essential oil

Half a cup of baking soda

I've tried it once so far and I slept like a baby

this sounds great I will try it. thank u

I steep my feet every night in Epsom salt for half an hour it's the same benefit as having the bath . Works wonders I do it at same time as my calm app for mindfulness . It's part of my pre bed routine . Chance to unwind after kids are in bed
