Other Girls Experience This?

I hope not to offend by asking this question, but since two months or so I realize that when the hormones start about a week before menstration I am a wreck (really really really), and then lately with the anxiety could this be connected or am I only over sensative due to the fact that I am now prone to this? Thank you in advance. L.

(((L))) Yes. This is a very triggering time for women. I will have what I THINK is an out of the blue panic attack, no triggers, KWIM? Then, I will check the calendar & see my period is due in about a week. It always seems that free floating anxiety nips @ my heels just before starting too. You will be fine knowing that others have the same feelings. Be kind to yourself & carve out some *me* time. It will get better. jan

Jan, goodness thank you. It seems that coming now on the heels of the recent anxiety and panic stuff it is really harsh and I feel like a total disaster already. At the least it is good to be aware of this so I don't totally flip out. If I can manage it maybe I will treat myself to something nice. L.

I just discussed this at my counseling session. It is true for me that my anxiety is higher durring certain parts of my cycle. Thank you for not letting me be alone in this!
