Intrusive thoughts......scary

Women's health

Hello Everyone....ok I am going to put myself out here because I hope that someone else has experienced this and can offer some help. I keep having intrusive thoughts that scare me......then the anxiety kicks up. What I do is pray, go for walks or try to talk myself into a better mind set. I know it has to do with hormones.....at least I think so. Please tell this is a sympton of peri and that it will go away.

Well, I can't guarantee it, but I'm having the same thing, so I hope so too!

Hi

I had these thoughts. They were horrible and racing. The anxiety is like something else. It's scary x

Intrusive thoughts are usually caused by high anxiety and are very common, they can be very scary but can't harm you

As you Becky hormone imbalance causes anxiety and lots of weird symptoms some of which are inexplainable

Don't be scared to talk to your friends and family about the thoughts they might be able to reassure and calm you

Don't fight the the thoughts just let them pass through your mind, they're not important and yes the symptom will fade when you stop fearing it

All the best xx
