This is a question for the women on here...
Does your anxiety seem to sky rocket when you’re about to get and on your menstrual cycle??
I feel like it always happens to me and I want to think that that is one of the main reasons I get anxious without anything triggering me
Happens to me! Not every month, but most months unfortunately. The past 2 I have had a panic attack out of nowhere that lasted longer than they usually do for me.
Yes and i was told by my gynecologist that its due to hormones rising and dropping
This always happens to me!! I was just researching this because my symptoms of anxiety and depression always worsen the week before getting my period (sometimes even 2 weeks before.) I also found that it is mostly due to hormones dropping after the luteal phase. Theres something called PME that means premenstrual exacerbation or worsening of the symptoms of anxiety and depressive disorders. I'm not a doctor so I can't diagnose or say if I have this or if it's the cause of my worsening symptoms, but it sure seems like it. I find that I am more sensitive and can start crying really easily. I also have been more aggressive and angry during this time. My triggers are much more sensitive and it seems like I live in my head even more so during this time which is awful... Some days I hardly sleep at all and then others I can barely get out of bed. It really sucks... I don't know if this offers any insight.. I hope that you feel better <3
Yes, I was literally just going to post about this. My anxiety is always so severe before I get my period and I was wondering if this happens to other women as well.
What palpitations feel like
Occupying the anxious mind; is there anything out there
Has Mirtazapine helped anyone with depression or anxiety? (not just sleeping better)
Constantly anxious- feeling sick
Dealing with panic, this has helped me.
