Hi ladies, just curious if anyone else has worse anxiety about a week before their period? I get jittery, dizzy, and heart flutters really bad about 1-2 weeks before it starts.. I think that's why my anxiety has been so high the past few days. Anyone else experience this and is it from the hormones?

Yes dear Bambi, I experience increased anxiety a week before my periods :) It is quite normal <3

Every. Single. Time. And yes, it is from the mean nasty hormones. Still going through this right now actually.

Yes. :) I was encouraged that the best way to combat this is to treat myself to something special during those "off" days. So now I have been heading to Einstein Bros for a bagel and a white chocolate mocha! It has definitely helped ride out those bad days! Is there anything special you can mark on your calendar each month??

Oh yes! I get anxiety and heart flutters!! I watch my caffeine and chocolate intake even tho at times I want to eat a whole bag of Reece Cups :-)

Even before this anxiety/depression bout this year, I would get the anxiety the week before. I find exercise (I walk), helps this.
Sending love-
Lisa

Thank you for all of your input! I never had it this bad before. I always considered myself lucky because I never got pms. I dread it every month now!!

I never used to but for the past 6 months or so I can tell my anxiety is always elevated a few days before, until a day or two after my period. Hate hate hate it!
