Hi guys I'm doing so well most of the time but I still get a few moments when anxiety creeps in although not as bad! Anyone else still get this at the 11 week mark? Also does any girls out there find the time of the month effects anxiety? I'm feeling a little on edge today but realised my period is due next week! I'm soon to be forty and these last 6 months I find the pms slightly worse and more anxiety over nothing! Hopefully this will pass soon! X

    Hi foxy...im sure thats all pretty normal about the odd day of anxiety, even after 11 weeks.

    And absolutely yes to increased anxiety at time of the month...x x

      Thank you yommymommy just need to hear it from other suffers! Trouble is with me is if I have a funny time of it I immediately think I'm going back to how I was rather than look at the bigger picture of how far I've come! Xx

    Hi Foxy

    You sound like you are doing really well and the odd anxious moment is perfectly normal. At 11 weeks I was having an anxious day,good day,anxious week,good week. I was like you, totally doubting myself, but knowing that this is a normal part of recovery is so reassuring.

    I too get the Hell PMS. Took me ages to figure out what was going on. I would get random panic orattacks,be ridiculously anxious and thought I really was going potty. Then duh...figured it out. I still get increased anxiety round when my period is due and I'm pretty sure I'm hitting perimenopause too. Joy.

    Keep smiling and merry Christmas eve.

    Hey Foxy polly,

    I'm 31 and I've been on cipramil for 5 months

    I still get bouts of anxiety (feeling off or feeling odd)

    I'm pretty sure it's Normal! A lot of people go through this. Just this week and last week I've felt off and odd with a touch of anxiety.

    I to finished my "ladies" last week and it effected me a little.

    You can tell that something isn't right cause of how it effects us inside and it's annoying

    But hang in there smile it's pretty normal from what I've read
