Perhaps I am one of the 'lucky' ones- I only need to be on this board when I have been on the Pill. It always causes severe anxiety, OCD and panic attacks with me, I realise and come off it, then about a year later I think I imagined it all, take the Pill again and it repeats itself.
I've been off the Pill for about a month now and have been slowly improving but it's coming up to my first 'real' period for one and a half years so today has been terrible. My mind has lurched back into extreme paranoia, dread, panic, my stomach hurts, I feel awful.
Anyone know how reduce these hormonally-induced anxiety feelings in particular? I'm at my wit's end. I just want to feel normal again. I'd love a bath or something to calm down, but that inevitably means I'll be undistracted and with my own company, which I just can't bear. I can't let my own thoughts/feelings run wild, I feel like I'm drowing in them. Any ideas how how to cause these crazy emotions to calm down naturally?
