A pattern?

[vakim78]

Ok since dec my anxiety had been at its worse. What use to be periodic tiny barely even an attack episodes over my life turned to something so scary and life changing Around Xmas 2012. To the point where I now have .25 mg of Xanax I keep with me at all times and only take when needed.

I do see a pattern. I will be 35 in march. Not only has my cycle changed but I noticed my anxiety seems to exist mainly around the time Im going to get my period and during.

I should be getting mines anyway now.. And I've definitely been on edge the last few days? Is this. Coincidence? Anyone else notice this pattern themselves?

Welcome to peri menopause that wonderful time before your periods stop. It can be a rollercoaster ride of hell ... Talk to your doctor about taking a low dose of Ativan or Valium or Xanax for a few days before you are supposed to get your period it may help. Have your TSH levels checked. Don't worry all of us women get to go thru this!

On average Perimenopause can last 4 or more years! I started about 34 and I am now 45 and have not had a period for a year now so I have officially gone thru menopause

Really? I'm 36, and I've been having changes in my monthly cycle as well......heavier, more prolonged period, increased anxiety a few days before and first day or two of my period, definitely more pms-lik

Sorry, I didn't finish my last post

Definitely more pms like symptoms...crabbiness, ultra sensitive,etc...which I never used to get before.
