Hi Ladies, since anxiety hit from Peri. I've been in this fight or flight mode for just over a year. I'm going to get my Vitamin D levels and hormones checked in a couple weeks. Can't get into my gp before then. I'm calm but, I can't shake this ridiculous stare state I'm in. Is this normal for peri? Has anyone first experienced anxiety when Peri hit and how long have you been fighting to get out of it? I go out of my house for errands but, I'm always scared to venture off the beat path which I had always been able to before this hit. I'm so miserable. Just home cooking, cleaning, playing video games to help with focus. I first had the memory issues. That has eased. I'm no longer putting my clothes in the dryer to wash them! The brain fog and depression is slowly lifting. I'm thankful for that. Everyone just keeps saying to keep busy and it will go away. I've been doing this for so long. If your suffering with this longer then me I really feel for you. Is this normal this long if the severity of your anxiety from peri was this high? I'm taking black cohosh and pro estro to balance my hormones, dhea, vitamin E, B6, drinking soy milk, sleeping right. Just ordered some passion flower and Bach flowers. Something has to break this. Thanks ladies....just so over this.
Yes.. My doctor told me that anxiety is very real at this stage. I have bouts of it and it does suck. Exercise/keeping busy helps but then I get so worn out.I would start taking Vit D now-- I believe it helps with everything so why wait. Your taking Vit B so that is good.
Thanks Kelly. I’m just so exhausted from keeping busy and feel like I’m running in circles. I fight each day to get up and push forward and I’m making progress but, again and I’m sure you have read some of my posts. It’s such a slow progress. I have to some how barrel through this fear. I can’t stay in my house much longer afraid. This is very tough. I’m taking vitamin D3 and magnesium and today I just got the Bach Flower remedy for confidence. (rolling my eyes). Never needed that before this but, I’m trying everything at this point. Seems like a money maker. If they could give you something to actually stop this they wouldn’t be making any. While we suffer. Hugs to you. I know your pushing too!
