Anxiety and sensitivity...

Women's health

The level of anxiety is just so high today...I hate this. And Im sensitive to what people are saying and doing. Prayers please.

Prayers for you Valerie, im the same with anxiety - I pick up on everything people say aswell and read things that maybe arnt there. Overthink and overanalyse everything. You're not alone x

Hi Valerie my anxiety has put me in the hospital....doctors saying racing heart is a result of anxiety...they put me on a beta blocker..and anti anxiety med...prayers are with you...are you still getting palpitations?

Thank you for the reply! I hate perimenopause.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I'm still getting them off and on. Its annoying.

Its not so much a racing heart but hard heart beats. A co worker said I might be dehydrated or have a uti. Not sure anymore...I dont even have insurance to go see a doc until January.

Hi Valarie

I'm praying for you🙏🏽. I know how hard this is. I'm going

through the anxiety more this last few months myself.

I thought the anxiety was getting better and it has but

for this last month has been much worst. As of now I'm

waiting for my period which is about a week late I hope

it's about over. We can pray for one another.❤️ Let's

keep in touch!

Hello there maureen! Thanks for the reply. The anxiety is more noticeable the week or 2 leading up to my period but I'm so irregular I dont even know when its coming at this point. Prayers for you.

Hi valerie, when I was experiencing anxiety attacks, magnesium supplements always worked with calming me down. If you don't want to take supplements, try eating foods high in magnesium.

Thanks for the reply Maria...I have heard and read about magnesium helping with anxiety and sleep. My fiance has a bottle in the cabinets which are 250 mg each. Im thinking about taking one.

Just let us know if the magnesium works for you.

Hi Valarie,

i do truly sympathise, I often feel similar... like I've had a shot of adrenalin!

all I can say from my personal experience is that I've started meditating daily, even 5 minutes helps, keeping that a routine plus gentle yoga with deep breathing is grounding, breathing in for the count of 7 and out for the count of 11, you can do this anywhere at anytime, it's so calming and was taught to me at a stress and anxiety workshop this year.

I had a hysterectomy a year ago ( due to very large fibroids that had been a problem for a few years causing bleeding and pressure on my bowel and bladder)and just like the lady in the programme I have to say a part of me also now feels 'damaged' post op.

Ladies it's clear we all need more support and a chance to voice our worries and concerns ... does anybody live in the Brighton and Hove area who would like to meet up and start a support group once a month perhaps? Just a thought!

have a lovely day everyone xx

I completely forgot to take the magnesium pill last night as I feel asleep early. My fiance told me not to take it during the day only at night. So I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow!

Thank you for the advice. I will definitely try that!
