I noticed when it is close to my time of the month that my anxiety symptoms all seem to come at once. Do any of you ladies get the same way?
Like I can go a couple weeks feeling fine and then bam my symptoms all show. A few days later my menstrual cycle starts.
Every month! A week before my period starts I get the worst anxiety! I'm guessing it's hormonal. I'm sorry you go through this! I wouldn't wish anxiety on my worst enemy! 😔
It's the worse! My anxiety is driving me crazy. As if our menstrual symptoms aren't bad enough to deal with. Thank you for responding.
I know right!?! Woman go through so much!
Mine anxiety is driving me nuts too! I feel like screaming! 😩
Yes! A few days before I start and during my cycle my anxiety is horrible.
Yes, it is hormonal and while it may be mild enough to be considered PMS, it may also be bad enough to be considered PMDD, Premenstrual dysphoric disorder. PMDD is basically PMS but 10x worse.
This link gives some more info and also talks about management and treatment of PMDD. mayoclinic.org/diseases-con...
Yup it doesn't help that mine aren't just once a month I have endometriosis so I can be on a week off 2 weeks on a week and soo on kills my anxiety x
@manyroxie I'm experiencing those symptoms as we speak!! I think it heightens the anxiety! I started keeping a journal to record the days that it start just to see when my anxiety kicks in!! I hate it 😩 but hang in there
Yes!! That definitely is the case with me. That's actually how I know I'm PMS'ing ..when my anxiety drives me nuts .
Yes mine is the same im ok for 2 weeks then the week im due on and the week im on is horrible anxiety attacks can't breath stomach aches all im wanna do is lock myself away dont want to speak to noone had my bloods done all came bk fine iron a little low but when I tell the doctors how I feel they dont seem worried im 36 and only started happening about a year ago
Me too 😫 It's awful x
Yes! I have it and it is horrible. It took me five months to get someone to finally give me a diagnosis.
Yes I am the same.
Could Anxiety be the underlying cause of the life ruining symptoms I have had for around a year??
Anxiety plays the same mind game time after time..
