Hi all!


I've had anxiety since August last year. I've tried many herbal and natural remedies and tended to be much worse in the evenings and before I fell asleep. However a couple of months ago I was given progesterone as Dr thought it might be hormonal and for a few days it worked but gradually the anxiety returned. The Dr then suggested a high dose of starflower which I have been taking for nearly a month and up until this week it's been like a miracle cure! After having a bad week at work/home I started to get shortness of breath (although I didn't feel panicky) at random times of day and been told I probably have an inflammation of the trachea so started anti biotics. However I'm not convicted my latest symptoms are my anxiety coming out in a different way???

My anxiety and clinical depression is from hormone imbalance in the menopause. I see a gynaecoligist who is trying to sort out my hormones and a psychiatrist to find an anti depressant to help with the depression. I have had post natal depression many times, so apparently more likely to get it in menopause. Problem is going on lot longer than post natal, they can't find right hormone, and my body has rejected all anti depressants which helped in past. So trying mindfulness through NHS, meditation, and other NHS courses to help. Also use essential oils to help.
