Anybody else experience higher anxiety and overwhelm the week before your period?
I've been feeling so off the last couple days and my anxiety is spiking more than usual. I have no energy and I feel like I'm stuck in a constant state of overwhelm, but with no obvious trigger. I think maybe this is a common pattern every month and my period is in 4 days. Anyone else?? It's so frustrating because I just want to feel normal and functional but I can't seem to convince my brain that we are in fact fine and overthinking is not going to help us here and hey maybe we can just feel calm instead of constantly mildly on the verge of panic while at rest? ðŸ˜

With you on this. I started my period today and now I’m like ahhhh makes sense why I was crashing tf out
Yes I always get this, the week before my period my anxiety is through the roof!
I was like that waiting for my first proper period after my lo was born 😅 being worried about catching again even though I went straight back on the depo as soon as I could before coming home from hospital. I still sometimes worry but that's just because of the crazy story behind how this little boy came into the world.
Yep the whole week, I’m so on edge and so angry and generally can’t cope with life. It’s only been in the last 6 months or so, I’m convinced it’s my hormones and I’m approaching perimenopause.
