hey everyone!
i know a lot of people say their anxiety gets worse when they have pms. what i'm wondering is does anyone also get really dizzy (without other anxiety symptoms) kinda like their head is floating above them? this is how i feel the week before but i don't know if it's from hormones or if it's an anxiety symptom or totally unrelated. i have not been able to get a real answer although it would be really helpful. if anyone does get this, how do you cope with it? most of the time if i feel dizzy or "not right", it makes me more anxious. thanks for the help.

Well Megan, at least it sounds like I'm in good company!! Saturday night it was so bad, I thought I would fall over or my head would spin off. Then when we got home from my parents' house, my period was there (5 days early-so I didn't even think of it) Go figure! And yes- the whole time we were at their house, I was worried & wondering what I could have, a brain tumor, a stroke, etc. & the anxiety made it worse! Why do we do this over & over again? Take care!
