For days now my anxiety has been terrible . I’ve got shortness of breath and sometimes it feels like I’m controlling my breathing . It makes me lightheaded I feel like my body rocks from side to side and sometimes I get this tingling crawly feel on a side of my head that lasts a few seconds and then it goes away . I’m tired of this and I feel alone. Has anyone ever felt this? Ladies: does this happen / does your anxiety worsen when you’re on your period ?
yes shortness of breath, lightheadedness, even the tingly crawling feeling in your head are all anxiety symptoms. I have had those plus many other symptoms of anxiety. try not to get too upset about it because that makes symptoms worse. The key is to relax your mind as much as possible.
I am actually post menopausal and still get some symptoms. But not as bad as before. but I do think hormones play a part in the severity of symptoms.
one of the keys to controlling anxiety is proper breathing.YouTube has some great short meditations for this.
one Day at a time. Keep busy, listen to great meditations for anxiety, sleep etc. breathing too.
one I really like is called its ok by lauren. her voice is soothing.
