so im supposed to start my period the beginning of july and for the past few days ive been feeling awful and its giving me anxiety so bad. idk if its pms or what. i feel like my head is gonna exolode like I'm walking around in a fog and i feel drained and weak and have been extremely nauseated and shaky. :( is this normal or has anyone else gone through this... im terrified
how old are u?
- ive just never had pms this bad previously
pick urself up some midol. starts taking women vitamins. st johns wort vitamin is good for anxiety. ive had panic disorder since i was 18 im 42 now.
do you think thats what it is is just anxiety?
yes
i notice recently my anxiety has gotten out of hand and i get depression too as well and its always before i get my cycle too its annoying because i never had these problem in the past and i have a mirena IUD that am in the process of removing, i really thing thats whats causing this but yes these are signs ur period is coming
Can absolutely be PMS, I get horrible anxiety and symptoms every month about a week before I start. I have had anxiety most my life, but during these times I can really tell it gets worse. Talk to your gyno about this and tell him how bad it is before you start and see what he suggests to take.
Oh and I almost forgot to ask, how do you feel when you don’t have pms? Are you normally an anxious person anyway? Do you get anxious throughout the month?
Oh yeah, I’m definitely anyways but it seems like before I start it’s just so much worse. I have an almost two year old so my cycles have changed alot from how they were before I had her.. I’m gonna talk to my dr about trying birth control and seeing if that may help. And it seems like it’s just getting worse and worse each cycle. I don’t know if it’s a hormone imbalance or what but I’m currently on Sertraline but it really doesn’t help anxiety at all. I had PPD after giving birth and they put me on it and I just kind of stuck with it even though I’m not depressed, just anxious. ALL THE TIME.
i have PPD too with anxiety, if u are going to take birth control try non-hormonal one, i wouldnt advise hormonal birth control it might make your anxiety/depression worst actually
