is anyone more anxious on their period?

[natalie5555]

just wanted to ask if anyone has more symptoms or feels more anxious when they are on there period or just before their period? I couldn't sleep at all lastnight had weird symptoms all night and then started my period this morning

Yep.

It's the hormone thing. Oh the joys of womanhood!:mad:

I think the PMS on top of the anxiety just heightens everything really. I get both anxious and can cry at the drop of a hat.

No fun at all.:lac:

Definitely. I have clumsy days, blue days, confusion, anger.....
For me fluoxetine makes a huge difference with PMT & hormones.

Yes, even though I am now post menopause I still get the anxiety rising once a month.

No probs, Natalie. x:hugs:Hope you feel better soon!

Always makes me feel worse...hormones and anxiety are not a nice combination and hormones are what makes anxiety, so add on the female hormones and you have a right old concoction! Makes me feel low, tired, achy, clumsy, emotional, less confident and on edge. Hate it. x

I too hate it, but it helps to be able to put it down to hormones and know it'll ease in a few days.
