Anyone else's anxiety rocket just before their period?

Any supplement ideas welcome x

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

I do hope more start to come on and start replying as I know others will have some good advise to

Take Care x

I think mine is maybe worse due to the fact I have PCOS so only have a period every few months so the build up is a lot worse (if that makes sense) thanks for being so kind to me x

Yes it could be

Have you spoken with your Doctor ? maybe they could recommend something but still be kind to yourself

It makes life a lot better when we are kind to each other

Hope you get a good nights sleep x

Wat is st John's wart

[Hidden in reply to Racheld2016]

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
