Hey everyone. Today has not been a good day coping wise. I have cried so much my eyes are red. It seems to be my way of letting everything out. I've had a bad day of pain, with heartburn that lasted most of the day, a feeling of pins and needles in my feet and pain in my arms and hands when I use my iPhone and iPad. It's all just getting to me today. I managed a bit of sleep tonight but woke up with heart palpitations in a panic. I've been trying to keep my mind occupied with movies but it's not really helping. Hubby is now snoring like a freight train so I guess I will have to read and try and occupy my mind. I know you understand how I'm feeling. There are times I cope quite well but today it doesn't matter what I do. I am very emotional. Thanks for letting me vent.

I truly get it. I cope really good some days, and some days, I just don't know how I'm gonna get through. But, we do get through. I keep telling myself this..I had a great day friday, and not good yesterday, and then today has been good. I put in ear phones to listen to music, and my daughter and I were jammin to some 80's, and then I got heart palps..so I took the headphones out..ughhh..I am always constantly waiting for myself to not feel good. Keep your mind occupied, is all I can suggest, because I'f I'm busy it's not as bad. Good luck to you.

Thanks Paddicake. I'm a big 80s music fan myself. I'm watching movies and reading magazines to keep me occupied. I find my depression and anxiety is bad at time of the month which has been going on for 2 weeks now. I'm seeing my doctor within the next week, maybe my dosage needs upping or I need something extra when I'm feeling so low. It's like I have no control on my emotions as well as my mood. Thanks for replying, I appreciate it and hope you have a better day.

Your Welcome,
I have been getting more sensations around my period also. I believe what my friend says, she hated her 40's..she had perimenopause, and the doctors couldn't pinpoint it. Some of the symptoms are exactly as anxiety. But I believe it makes my anxiety worse, and then my anxiety makes my pre menopause worse..a hamstra wheel..lol I keep trying to fight it though, because I am so sick of waiting for what will happen again. I feel like some days, I wake up and that's the first thing that pops into my head..(what symptom will I get today) One of the C.D.'s she gave me, talks about quit bringing your junk from yesterday into today, or you will never get any better..I am working on it too..." I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN...

Hey Ladies,

Take heart that hormones during peri menopause really make anxiety symptoms peak during what you used to call PMS. It was so bad for me I used to had to remind myself to take stock that it was 2 weeks before my period and that I should account for these feelings based on this and not the things I was stressing and crying about.

I wish you all the best

Thank you for that Weary, it's interesting what you say about pre menopause. I just turned 41 last month and was wondering when it might start. My mother started menopause in her early 40s so I'm wondering if I might follow her and start early. I will mention this to my doctor. I'd never experienced anxiety or panic attacks until last year.

Paddicake, I've found since last September that every 6 weeks or so I get so depressed and my anxiety goes mad. I had the Mirena coil fitted for my adenomyosis symptoms so don't have periods anymore but I still tune up. I am hoping once menopause starts my adenomyosis pain will go away and take my anxiety away with it. I'm sorry you suffer with this too, it's no fun.

Hugs and thoughts/prayers Wdw...

Tomorrow is a new day. May it be so awesome, calm and anxiety free that it makes you forget about all about your symptoms and has you saying..."What bad day?!?" ;)

Post and vent anytime!

S.C.

Today is that new day SC promised you so find your special peace and be in the moment.

Thank you SC and Kitt. Today was a little better and I got a lot done. Still felt anxious with that jittery feeling in my top half while walking to the hairdressers. I'm starting to notice a pattern that when I feel jittery or feel like I'm shaking when I'm not, it's usually as I'm about to leave the house or going somewhere. I went to the library and managed to get one of my health anxiety books. The other wasn't there but they will ring me when it's in. I have started reading it already. I also got a book called Overcoming Depression.

The pain hasn't been as bad today so hopefully time of the month is coming to an end. Our kitten Minnie was spayed today and I was surprised I wasn't more panicked about it. She seems to be recovering ok.

Again thanks for the kind words, they have really helped me.
