Me!! My anxiety goes through the roof a couple of days before my period comes and then when I'm on.

[emlica]

Yep, me too! Had been doing really well with not worrying about my digestive issues, now my period is due tomorrow and I'm finding other health related stuff to stress about. Think it's quite common. Hurrah for being female eh?

Hi, I too suffer really bad from anxiety during period and I also suffer from heavy periods withe severe PMDD. The only advice I can give is to try and increase vitamins and especially omega 3 oily fish. What's happening is your period exaserbates your stress levels, meaning all your stress gets heightened during this time, it will pass after a few days. But eating calming foods and drinking calming drinks like chamomile will help and blueberries and blackberries. I have suffered this for 20years much worse with more symptoms and if you need to ask more please send me a message . Take it easy and enjoy some calm music aswell. Take care

Same here. I've been feeling 'bleugh' & a bit nervy for a few days but I never put 2+2 together at the time and my mind works overtime. Then I came on yesterday and I'm like 'oh - that's why'! I hate it too ! xx

Dietry changes just before and during your Period can help, search for more help on Google .Avoid certain foods like Caffeine and eat plenty of fresh fruit and Veg.
Also high strength Vit B Complex and Evening Primrose oil should help with Hormones levels and other symptoms like tiredness.Salt avoidance will reduce bloating.
Get a good source of Vits as the cheap ones aren,t effective
