View Full Version : Everything was going so well :-(
Hi,
Well as the title says everything was going so well. Went back to work Wednesday, had a great day. Woke up Thursday with the horrible axious feelings creeping back and BANG!! Back again. I am so sick of feeling this way!! I was doing really well as well.
Hate waking up ona morning with that sickness feeling and having to run to the toilet!! I can't eat anything.. And have got my period!!
Called to see my mam this morning and just cried because I just want to be normal again!!!
I am functioning but not how I was 3 month ago!!!
Back to work again tomorrow & Tuesday for 2 other 11 hours shifts. I'm just confused at why its come back again. I was making good progress.
It all seems to happening before & during my period.
Has anyone got any ideas on this (girls only obviously)??
I feel possibly it is but just dont know??
Thanks
Kendra x
hi kendra before my period an whilst im having it im exactly like you anxiety through the blimmin roof.nor can i eat my stomach just feels so heavy bloated and in knots.its all to do with the hormones hun.i dread the week im due cause i go from happy outgoing kate to depressed moody anxious kate almost overnight!!! hope your feeling better soon hun x
Hi Kendra, sorry to hear you have had a 'blip' that's all it is, remember that. It's happened to me a couple of times recently. Look back and see how far you have come, you've done so well up to now and you should be proud of yourself.
I think we are more emotional at that time of the month so maybe that clicks something in our brain and switches the anxiety back on.
I spoke to my GP on friday and he said it's normal to have a few hiccups on the way so I think you just got to expect that and don't beat yourself up about it :doh:
It will pass and you will get stronger again, tomorrow you may be a different person again:) good luck hun, sending big hugs to help you today :hugs: x

This has happened to me recently, was doing really well and its come back, and I'm a bloke so nothing to do with hormones.
Thank you eveyone, honest its really upsetting to have the blips. I knew I wasnt cured but well I don't know!!!
I have been hoping since Friday that I wake up and its gone but up until today it hasn't!!
Wish how long a knew the blip was going to be here...
Is there anything I can do to help with easying this? Herbal for hormones??
I'm currently not on meds just magnesium, evening primrose and vit B. Although I need to get jarrows vit B as I have heard it is the best? Is there anything else that could help??
In a way I hope it is all hormone realted becaused then I will have an answer and try to deal with it!!
GP won't listen to me when I thought it was before!! Been keeping a record and it does feel 100 times worse round this time??
Sorry for going on!!!
Kitti how are you getting on?? xx
Hi Kendra. When you are getting over or recovering from anxiety which you are. The anxious brain wont give up easily. Try to think of it as a chance to practice what you did before. I would suggest you still go to work. It will be hard. Ignore the feelings just say its anxiety it feels terrible but i wont die. I will just carry on.
Dr claire weekes has said carrying on in panic and fear is just as much a success as feeling fine. If you can get to work and through the day with anxiety with you. Thats a bigger success than getting to work feeling fine.
Think of it as a chance to practice again and get through this. It may even come back stronger but thats anxiety trying to remind you. Keep going let it happen and don't fight. x
Thank you!! Its so hard!!! When its here its all I can think about, talk about and dream about. I have cried nearly all day just wanting to be normal again. I want to be enjoying my life and not just functioning in it and getting by. I have so much to be happy about. A lovely husband and son. I have to re-aply for my job at work and thats the only bad thing at the moment in my life!
I search so hard for answers and i'm not finding any!! x x
Hi Kendra.
I found that the time of month affected my anxiety levels. You know why you are feeling down at certain times. Accept it and know that it is not a step backwards just mother nature making things a bit difficult right now.
Take special care of yourself at this time. Relaxing baths, lavender candles, whatever does it for you to chill out for a bit.
I asked my GP about all this girlie stuff. All the nausea, upset tum, headache, being tearful etc. it's definitely hormones. I remember bursting into tears over a pigeon with a limp once - what a pr*t:D
I can relate to this also. I have kept a diary and my anxiety def goes through the roof a week before I am due on. Flossie you made me laugh as I burst into tears over a pigeon with one foot a few months ago - I obsessed over it for ages! x

Poor pigeons.
