[littleone123]

My anxiety rockets when I'm due on my period and last week it was bad and I should have come on Friday last week and havnt n this week it's been even worse to the point where I'm sweating buckets with hot flashes and then I panic :(. I'm not on any meds does anyone else have this?

Hi Littleone,

Yup hormone ups and downs play havoc with anxiety. At least you can take comfort in knowing that it will last a few days then it usually gets better, at least for me it does .

Hope you feel better!

I get like this to I also feel abit dizzy and light headed,so many people I know have this to

Mine lasts for about a week but this time it's lasted 2 weeks. I'm 90% sure I'm not pregnant I jut freak out n worry which then probably makes it worse. Does anyone have the implant in the arm I'm considering getting it to maybe calm them down a little bit

I'm on the mini pill which helps loads,my sister has that tho and to has panic attacks,she has had a few now as they last three years be4 you need a new one put in,she's had no problems with it at all :)

Ye I'm really struggling with mine n I took the pill but hated it I had horrible side effects. I get about 1/4 weeks where I feel I could do anything with no anxiety no fear n then the other 3 I'm either ovulating or getting pmt n then the anxiety kicks in. Frustrates me

I thought I was alone. It's one thing to have anxiety but when my period comes it is always heightened.

This is completely normal, I think most females deal with this, and some have it worse that already have anxiety.

Thanks it helps a tiny bit to know I am not alone in this. Spose it will come when I chill out a bit haha
