Full moon

Has anyone noticed that their anxiety increases during the week before the full moon? I am having a terrible time this week with anxiety and panic. I worked at a State Mental hosp before retiring and we noticed the patients always acted up the week before the full moon. Could it have some affect on our bodies? I had a nasty attack yesterday and went upstairs hoping to get some comfort from my dh. He flipped out and screamed at me about how tired he was of my panic and that he thought I did it purpously. I couldn't take it and began crying hysterically. I ended up driving to a girl friends house and spending the eve. I slept in the spare bedroom last night. Those of you who have an understanding dh, I hope you know how lucky you are. I rarely bother him with my attacks and I guess I shouldn't at all.

I don't think its so much that my dh wants to fix it. Hes a control freak and wants to control it. He has to control every aspect of our relationship. Anxiety or panic cannot be controlled by someone else. I can't get him to understand that. He thinks he can scream at me enough to make me stop having them. he tells me I just don't want to control them. Oh yes I do!! Nobody wants these things!!
The full moon can affect the tide so i wonder if it somehow affects our chemicals and sets off anxiety. Our body is 90% water right? maybe thats just a dumb idea but it does seem to get worse the week before the full moon. Sharon

Funny you mention it, because YES I have noticed that my anxiety is heightened when a full moon is out. Hmmm, very interesting.

When i came back last night i went straight to bed in the guest room. i didn't get up with him this morning and I've been very cool to him this eve. He seems to be a little in shock. He better get used to it cuz i have had it!!
Hey being a vampire might be fun!!
