    The end of your post was a repeat of the beginning of your post. You started to say how to find relief but it just repeated what you had already said.

    I'd like to know how to find relief. I have horrible anxiety and just don't feel like myself emotionally.

    Thank you.

    Do you mean hot flashes aren't necessarily just getting hot but bring other symptons too?

    How long do your symptons last when you get them per day?

      Yes! Mine last for hours most time at least half a day... Sometimes all day and sometimes nights are better ..Mornings and half the day is worse on me! I am suffering from all of that 100% The anxiety and panic attacks and internal nervouness is the worst and hardest for me to deal with and the blasted weakness !  I got that from the womans health site..

      Mine is worse also in morning and midday and gets better in the evening. I have internal nervousness also

      Especially in the stomach which i think mainly from my stomach issue. I have lost a lot of weight due to I can't eat certain foods because of it. The anxiety doesn't make it any better.

      I keep saying "this too shall pass".

      Mine is worse in the morning and afternoon too. If I wake up before 9 am I feel ok but the longer I am up it gets worse.

      Sugar makes my anxiety worse.

      My period was longer and heavier this month and farther apart. I went 33 days this month and it was heavier .Last month was shorter and lighter.

      I had a really good appetite yesterday but today lack of appetite and naseau when I eat. I can't afford to lose any more weight.

      Have you had any problems with eating?

      I cannot believe that peri will bring on all these problems. All I want is a break too! I mean my head feels like it's swollen and when I walk I get weak and dizzy. Then aniexty comes on. Why is it that some women don't have all these issues? I tried to eat and got really naseau from the gastritis..Evenings are my best time of the day..everything seems to settle down.

      I have had nausea and had a hard time eating. I lost about 10 lbs. I forced myself to eat because I knew I had to.

      Now I am hungry all the time!

      I did have nausea this morning.

      I go between being very constipated and then I am the other way.

      I did not appreciate my youth.

      My head feels swollen too!

      The anxiety is so bad! I get weepy too! I will cry and cry. I usually feel better after I cry. It is an emotional release.

      What I've noticed with the anxiety is that it is a mind thing. If there is something that I haven't taken care of such as a dr.s appt. Once I do the appt. And get results my anxiety gradually disappear, Or if I start thinking or worrying about something it appears really strong. So, it's anout trying to control the mind, i guess. I am thinking about going to counseling.
