Anxiety starts around day 10 of my menstrual cycle...can anyone relate?
Posted , 6 users are following.
Before I begin I just want to thank you lovely ladies for getting me through year 1 of peri. It's been one heck of a bumpy ride. So I've noticed my anxiety starts around day 10 of my cycle and proceeds until my period comes and then tapers off around the 2nd to 3rd day. Those 10 days though are amazing. Nothing and no one can bother me but once enter the "luteal phase"...it's like a danger zone. Anyone and anything set me off. Is this normal for peri?

My breast pains are all month long no matter where I am in my cycle, so are my hot flushes. It's frustrating.

Hi Valerie
Yes I too have noticed lately that my anxiety is awful from day 10 through to when my period comes then usually tapers off after a couple of days! Then like you say I'm good for 10 days then bang more anxiety! I just try to be mindful when it's happening and do meditation and have acupuncture which I've found helps a lot! The doctors still tell me I'm not peri because my bloods are normal and I'm only 41 but all my symptoms are associated with my hormones! It's a rough ride and I hate it I just want to be normal again! Xx

Most doctors wont even acknowledge that we may be perimenopausal unless we are in the late 40's to early 50's. It's so frustrating. There is such thing as premature ovarian failure which can cause peri/meno in the 20's and 30's. These mainstream doctors are useless.

I think we are twins LOL I have been in peri for a year also and the same bumpy ride. I have noticed that although my symptoms can be all over the place during the month it seems to me that the "worst" of them happen just after my cycle (which I havent had in 3 going on 4 months) it will start then and last 7-10 days and then seems to taper off. I am gettting to the point where Im so frustrated over all of this, drives me nuts, I just like everyone cant wait for all of this to be over with and be a new normal self. Hugs
