Does anyone else get more anxious and spaced out feeling during that time of the month.

[valachia-t]

Yes I do.

[Peacewithin1]

I do. Especially the day before.

[Ashley1489 in reply to Peacewithin1]

Yes me too

[Ashley1489]

I wonder why though

It's the changes in estrogen closer to your cycle. I'm going thru perimenopause and anxiety is a huge part of it. Evening Primrose oil can help and keep up with exercise and have a good multivitamin. Drink lots of water and eat iron rich foods - preferably animal source as it is much better absorbed. And buy a boxing bag - punch it out!!

[Helena877]

Yes! It's very common. In fact I believe that my anxiety is very much cyclical. There are times of the month when I am carefree and anxiety does not get a look in.

I recently had a full blood panel of hormones from the GP to make sure all was okay. They can prescribe bioidentical hormones if things are off...or certain types of the pill could help.

I blame my period for all of my mental probs.

Oh how I wish I had my periods again. My last period was July of 2016 so I guess I'm entering menopause at 53. When I had periods, I didn't have all these scary symptoms . Now that my periods have stopped , my body definitely changing but the scariest of all is the palpitations. 😪

I'm sorry
