same time of the month, same ****!

Hello everyone!
Yet again my period is here and I feel ****ty. I have been doing well recently, changing my thought patterns etc and making good progress with getting back to normality. I have even got a part-time job!However, my period is here and it knocks me right back for a few days. I am wondering whether I bring it on myself (associating periods with anxiety etc) or whether its my hormones creating how I feel. I feel tense, emotional, panicky at times and can't seem to think positive no matter how hard I try. I am very aware of being on a period, yet before I suffered anxiety/panic, I never really noticed it. I am on the pill which has improved my periods but not the pmt etc. I would like to hear any opinions so get tapping!
Lots of love,
Fradycat xxx

I also find that I'm more anxious and nervy in general around my period - particularly the day before, and the first day, when I go off my food (very abnormal for me!) and everything. I read once somewhere that drinking only warm drinks, and not eating chilled foods such as ice cream etc. during your period can help reduce symptoms such as period pains and other PMT symptoms. Perhaps drinking Cammomile tea or something each morning during your period would help with the symptoms, and help to calm your flustered mind as well? Let me know if you find anything that helps!

Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Something I forgot to mention in my previous post, but that I've just remembered is that I also take Evening Primrose Oil for any symptoms of my "women's troubles". I have to say, I certainly notice it when I have skipped a dose - the painful boobs especially are moreso if I haven't taken my EPO!
