Different question to the ladies only

My anxiety started on July 1st and I got my period on July 17th, a week early. It is still here 9 days later. The flow hasn't changed the whole time and doesn't show any signs of stopping. Can this be normal with anxiety? Has anyone else dealt with this? Just another thing to worry about.

It sounds like there is a bit of an imbalance in hormones. That can definitely cause anxiety. It's unlikely the anxiety is changing the length or flow of your period.

How old are you? Sometimes during perimenopause this can happen. Sometimes your body just has more to get rid of. It can also happen during menopause.

There are so many variables here. It might be best if you contact your gyno, and see what he/she has to say about it.

I'm dealing with a lot of issues like this due to endometriosis. I'll be 48 next Friday, but have been dealing with the endometriosis for about 5 years now. I'm waiting to hear from my doc on when my hysterectomy is scheduled.

It certainly does make anxiety worse when you have rampant hormones. I've been put on a progesterone only (no estrogen) birth control pill to help with the clotting until the hysterectomy.
