extremely BAD anxiety when my periods comes?!?
i have this panic attacks anxiety depression :-( Its hard for me to have Faith & Hope when I keep getting this bad anxiety and it comes with crying and shaking & depression - loss of apetite and faintness & horrible scared feeling (afraid to be left alone, afraid of losing control & hot flashes Shaky, Sweaty & negative thoughts - and fear - thought I was going crazy -I can't breathe, my heart races - not able to sleep :-( i feel sick with the horrible feeling - allways anxious! I'm tired of the pain, and despairing/losing hope - I start to feel a bit better but them my periods come & its HELL again :-( When will this nightmare be over?? I'm so scared that its not going to end? :-( begun anti-depressants "Citalopram" 20 mg been on them for 4 weeks now and i dont know if they are helping? i did feel a bit better intill periods come? whats going on with me? how can i stop this? so say its a hormonal imbalance and Overactive Thyroid? i did have a blood test and it come back all fine -? I do try to be happy - but its hard to stay positive when I know what's going to happen to me every 4 weeks! Even when I have a good week its still there at the back of my mind knowing what's to come. :-( i went to see a Natural Healthcare lady - homeopathic & she said i do have a hormonal imbalance and Overactive Thyroid and she will regulated to the normal speed and imbalance my hormonal! but she did not say how long it will take? love & hugs littlemissmuchafraid |

I am also experiencing what you are experiencing. Mine starts about a week before my period and stops about the week after. I take Lexapro and alprazolam. I have a blog that helps me deal with my anxiety. It helps a great deal. Anxiety Sucks Blog
During this time you have to take really good care of yourself. I have had to hire an errand service to do my grocery shopping when my panic leads to agoraphobia. I started playing bingo today online at Pogo just to chill and slow down. Feel free to write me anytime! <HUGS> Michelle |
