those with anxiety does yours get worse with you period?

[candyfluff]

ive only had 2 periods so far as i came ofthe pill,both times my anxiety which has been good recently has gone through the roof again when i started my period yesterday
is it all to do with hormones?

Yes! Recently I have been a wreck pre-menstrually and for the first couple of days of period, much worse than usual.

so glad im not the only one ,i felt dreadful yesterday,in alot of pain today and bad back ache too
no wonder they call it the curse

bump

me too..i quite often get insomnia and feel stressed then the next day period comes

couldnt sleep last night either
felt like im chocking (anxiety)
bit better today than yesterday though
chest is very sore from the over breathing

choking even

I get it really badly, and it's getting much worse as I get older (am now 34). Last week I had PMT and I was so bad I had to go to the GP and have blood tests done to check my thyroid, iron etc, as I was so tired, woozy and tearful I was a wreck. I suffer badly with hormonal acne as well, so I'm obviously very deeply affected by my hormones around this time of the month. Am now on day 4 of my cycle so it's easing off a bit.

Yup, totally - much worse since having children. It's also getting worse as I get older, although I am now starting to recognise what it is, and so can reassure myself when waking at 3am that the anxiety might fuelled by PMT.

The relief when it clears and everything falls back into perspective is good.

have any of you found any supplements to take that help ? herbal stuff ?
am interested to try and ease this pmt thing

i never suffered with pmt before i had the kids

I'm taking Evening Primrose Oil, but not sure it's doing any good. I think Agnus Castus is meant to be good for hormonal problems.

thanks im willing to try anything
