hormones

SL.,

Sorry you are not feeling well.:( If I had a nickel for every post about hormone related anxiety....know you are not alone!!!

Do your best to keep your nutrition really healthy at this time, as well as exercise if you can. It can be hard to do when you feel unwell and sluggish, but in the long run it will pay off, reducing PMS symtoms!

Use your coping skills as well during this time. We have some great meditation vids in our Resources!

Peace and wellness,

Park,

You owe me a nickel.

This might help...I think it kind of guides you through the breathing, along with the meditation...

Yes!!!

Omgosh, my anxiety is only lower for like a week each month because it goes up pre-ovulation and pre-and during-period. My GI symptoms worsen for a few days, I get headaches, I cry a LOT, my health anxiety skyrockets. It's great fun really. I'm about a week away from my cycle starting and so it's begun.

There are very specific yoga moves for us ladies during this time. Just do a quick search and see what you find. Between the breathing and stretches I have found them very useful.
Good luck,
