Periods

[nicole123x]

Girls does anybody's periods effect their anxiety and make it worse ??? X

[petrified]

A lot worse! Every month is a battle it usually starts about a week before then during and sometimes a couple of days after.

[Jgirl-73]

Yep! Much worse. I start having issues at ovulation, it gets a little better & then boom! I've got an appt. with my doc tomorrow to ask him about checking hormones.

[kotoba]

I've never actually considered it but now that I think about it yes it actually does. You're not alone there

[lexiii]

Yes it does! My anxiety will be controlled for the most part all month than apx a week before I get my period my anxiety gets bad and I feel down.. Once I get my period is eases though. You're not alone

[jessy]

I'm bad but at period time I'm even worse . My bad days far outweigh my good days . A week before & during & a couple of days after I'm very bad . X

[superchick22684]

100% yes. My significant other has noticed that not only my anxiety but my depression are way worse around that time of the month. My worst time is within a few days before getting it usually. I suppose its good to know that I'm not alone in having this problem.

[rusticnrg]

Thank goodness I am not alone! I feel best right after I ovulate then all of a sudden I am a mess for like a week before my period.

[Mockingbird]

YES.

I try to battle it with a little more exercise but it's difficult.

[jen123]

I have noticed that I get palpitations a week before my period which could be due to hormone changes...which then sets my anxiety off!!

[snowberry]

Absolutely. I'm on right now and it definitely lowers my mood and makes it harder for me to remain calm. I am also prone to sudden bouts of panic when on. It starts, as the others say, around a week or a few days before, and once your period has finished you start feeling better. It's horrible, and once my studies are over I will ask about medication, because there's nothing therapy or anything like that can do to help the problem if it's hormone/chemical based.
