Does anyone else get crippling anxiety around a week before you’re due on?

I have had anxiety before my periods come for a long time now! There’s no triggers, just this awful feeling of dread! I don’t have it the rest of the month but when I’m due on I get worked up by everything eg. Can’t get the thought of something happening to DS our my head, worry I’ve left something in at home intensely like straighteners, worrying I’m doing my work wrong at work etc. I never have these worries the rest of the month maybe just in passing thought like “oh shit did I add that invoice” but when I’m due on it’s more “I’m gonna lose my job if I’ve missed off this invoice” and I get really panicked and it only stops when my period starts. I’m back to normal then! I never suffer with anxiety until I’m due on and it’s absolutely draining!

Is there anything I can do/take to stop this anxiety when I’m due on? I’m extremely teary when due on too and can cry at the smallest inconvenience!
