Paranoid thoughts

I know logic says ‘see the GP’ but just want to sense check.

It was a crap Christmas with covid spoiling a lot of social things. I live alone, Boyf had to self isolate right over the holidays and our travel plans were thrashed. I also work from home. To add to this, I’ve had really odd periods since September when my implant was replaced. It’s my fourth incase this is useful. I’m also treble vax’d.

This week Aunt Flo arrived but, again and whilst the normal pmt symptoms were there (cramp, appetite, tiredness) the bleeding lasted only a day, max. My first bleed in 60 days. Sorry if TMI. However I do feel utterly paranoid and was tearful yesterday. Over the past week I’ve been convinced that people are staring at me, my boss is displeased, I’m the target of people’s bad moods etc. I don’t know whether this is down to the SHEER non-stop isolation that wfh has brought with it, or the impact of my hormones or what.

I expect to feel tearful around my period but I’ve never experienced paranoia before. Not helped by the fact they’ve been sooo unpredictable since my last implant went in!

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why the paranoia is paying a visit? Is it hormones, isolation, covid drudge or something else?

@Coffee4685 I've just come across this and I'm sorry that you've had no replies.

I would say yeah, that it's mostly hormonal and your circumstances haven't helped.

When you had the last implant in, what were your periods like then? Hormones take ages to settle don't they. I've definitely felt like you when my hormones are all over the place, paranoid people are looking at me, everything annoying me a 100 times more.

Hopefully things will settle soon for you. It's a horrible feeling.
