Does any ladies out there that suffer with anxiety and panic disorder ever feel there anxiety and symptoms of anxiety get intense before and during your menstrual I've been kind of okay lately , still dealing with the headaches and weird head sensations, but not too much of the other symptoms, but I know I'm due for my menstrual to start within the next week or so and I've been feeling emotional and anxious with symptoms . this is driving me crazy , as if I don't already have enough going on in my life right now , but god gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers !!

Just wanted some responses on this issue I'm having every month ??

2

yes it's horrible

3

I can't stand it at all

4

Yes yes and yes!! I just got my period yesterday...5 days early....and I woke up at 7 am with a panic attack. I have bad anxiety and find around my cycle is worse. It's our hormones....not like we don't have enough to deal with as is....it's very frustrating.

5

Us women we go through enough as it is , and on top of everything we already deal with as women , here comes stupid anxiety , okay like give us a break already !!!! Sheesh 😔

6

I feel ur pain Jenni. I really do. Suffered all my life with anxiety and extreme fear. It's only gotten worse...the brain is a muscle which gets stronger when we overthink. Idk how to help as I too am a sufferer...I pray we can find some relief....somehow

Me too Sandi , we need a break from our own bodies and minds !!!

8

Do u have specific triggers or is it just general

9

It can go either way ,sometimes specific !!!

10

How about u specific or in general ?

11

Both but more specific... I had posted .you own blog a few weeks back under phobia. ..u should read it if ur interested to know

12

Yes I'll go read it , you said its under the "phobia" forum ??

13

I hate being a girl so much especially when it hits

14

Me too , 😔😔😔😢😢

15

Oh my gosh!!!! YES!!! I read that some people can have PMS immediately following ovulation and until your period starts. Also, some only have it the week before their period. Then some can also have it during their period. I'm lucky that mine starts right after ovulation and goes until I stop my cycle. I also have PCOS, which is poly cystic ovarian syndrome. That definitely aggravates your emotions.

16

Yes but also under anxiety

17

yes, and I am so glad to see that someone else notices a link also. i get worse around ovulation until my period comes. i asked my doctor and she said ahe didn't think it would cause that, but if i poke around at some medical journal articles, there seems to be anectodal evidence that this could be true. 

18

Yes I usually get really bad anxiety the entire week before my period and it drives me insane , I wish this didn't happen 😔 very depressing

19

Yeah its definitely try because I had been okay for the past couple of week , I've had minor anxiety but nothing extreme, now.its about 1 week before my menstrual and I'm having mild attacks and somewhat severe attacks its so scary I can't deal

20

Yes... I hate it. :'(
