Hello Eeyore
I have always found my anxiety to be lots worse in the 2 weeks running up to the time of the month - this is quite common for women who dont experience anxiety, so its even worse for us who do!
I actually am sick on and off during the first few days of my period and have mood swings and generally feel very unwell. After the first 3 days I start feeling better. I have always been like this every month.
I cant wait to be an old lady for the reason I wont have to put up with this!
Do you take any evening primrose oil or Vit B6 tablets? I found that they help a lot.
It happens due to drop in Oestrogen which helps fight anxiety naturally. When women get peri menopausal their PMT gets worse & their oestrogen drops until such a point that the menopause then kicks in.
I have lowish oestrogen levels I was told and I suffer a lot with PMT. I thought I was going through the menopause early, and had a test at the doctors, but was told I am not. I want to be though so I can get it out the way!!!
