Do anyone wake up with anxiety every morning and it's uncontrollable? It lingers on for a while until I take something. What causes this?
Some mornings are worse then others, is it because of the previous day of stress or what?
What do you take to stop it?
Yes, this happened to me towards end of peri and the beginning of real menopause. My legs would literally shake when I would get out of bed, felt completely wired. I was told to exercise or take a walk to relieve it but back then there was no way I felt like doing that. Not sure what causes it but it eventually goes away even though it felt like it would never end.
I took med for anxiety.
How long did you stay in peri, my severe symptons started back in March. But now when I think back the symptons was going on for awhile but nothing like this.
How long did it last?
Anxiety is one of the mant symptoms of the menapuse. I think different peopme will hace different triggers but the main reason if the hormornal changes
Hi Mary ... it's the hormonal changes that does cause the anxiety. I never had anxiety until meopause! But it got a lot worse when i was postmenopausal which i sill am.
My anxiety has amped up more in post-menopause also.
Yes awful anxiety not good !
You are not alone in feeling anxious but the trouble with taking meds to control it Mary is that you will get into a vicious circle if you're not careful. That's because the daily anxiety may not actually be real anxiety but rather withdrawal from the pills. Try your best to do without if you can, much better to treat the cause than the symptoms ie natural hormones (phyto oestrogens/progesterone patches) or something X
I was just fine earlier, I was able to get out and go to the store then I got home and grab something to eat. The anxiety attack just hit me, I am also dealing with gastritis (stomach inflammation) . I think it triggered it off. I got very weak, and trembling, and legs like burning sensation. I did take med to calm it,
Do you know if certain foods will trigger it? The thing is it last for hours ...
I do have both cream bit don't really know how to use the phytoestrogen, I've only been using the progesteron.
You can get phytoestrogen pills, am guessing you're in the US we get then from the health food store here or you can buy them on the internet. You can also get them from changing your diet if you Google it, beans are very good for example, as is soya etc X
I already have the estroven pills, I am going off my period right now. Do I take them now or when period is over. And how do i supplement the progesterone cream with it?
Does it help you?
Hello.
Do you remember how long it took you for the anxiety to go away? Do you remember what you did to get through the anxiety?
I must be moving out of perimenopause and into menopause. I am having bad anxiety and crying off and on, sadness and sometimes irritability. These are the symptoms that are causing me the most problems. The anxiety is BAD!
Thank you.
Hi are you still having your periods? My peri started full blast with severe symptons starting with digestion issues .
I want to cry sometimes but it like the anxiety is so bad where I can't even cry anymore.
I am still having my periods. Every month, 26 to 30 days apart. They are lighter and only last 2 to 3 days.
I am having PMS symptoms after my period instead of before my period.
I can cry sometimes but it is because I am SO sad. At least when I cry I know am still capable of feeling.
You are exactly where I am right now with the PMS after rather than before your period...what a switch up huh? The first time this happened I was SO ECSTATIC that I didn't have pms...and then it hit bigtie the week after...lol! I to am still having my periods, about the same as you, all over the place but really every month.
THe anxiety I have learned to control with a bottle of drops called "Bachs Rescue Remedy" It has been working wonders for me. 2-3 drops and all is well. I had to take it three times today...but some days now I don't need it. It might help you more than you think
I will look for that Bach's. Thank you,;-) Oh the joy of being a woman!
