Hello 
O yes I am sure this is very common among us ladies
I think realizing that our anxiety goes up around this time is a good start as we have recognized what is happening so we can tell ourselves it will pass and it won't arm us
Slowing down a little where we can around this time , getting a good nights sleep and just been a bit more gentle with ourselves to can all help
I have tried things in the past but for me nothing has really made it much better but I do tend to be the exception so don't let that put you of trying as I have also known others that have had a very positive result from supplements
Two that spring to mind are St Johns Wart or Evening Primrose I think it is called
If you go into any Health Shop or Boots are really good at advising and tell them what you are looking for they will go through the different options and with Boots they are really good at telling you if you are taking any other meds if you will be ok to take a supplement along side them

Hi
It is a natural supplement that people do say helps them with their anxiety , you can normally buy it from most Chemists or Health Shops but even though it is natural especially if you are taking any other medications always check with either your Doctor or pharmacist that it will be ok for you to take
Hope you are having a good day or the best day you can
Ive been told i have pcos but my periods are quite regular. I have suffered with terrible hormones about two weeks before every period for a long long time. Star flower can help for some. Ive been told its called pmdd.
