No period and anxiety

Posted , 9 users are following.

Hello everyone , I’m back again ( unfortunately ) . Still no period , now six and a half weeks since my last one and my anxiety is through the roof . This in turn makes me depressed and I guess pms off the scale . Just feel horrible . I turned 51 a couple of weeks ago , so worried about getting old . Last week I had pains in my chest and ended getting a paramedic round . Came to the conclusion it was a mixture of heartburn , anxiety and maybe I’d pulled it as my shoulder blades were aching as well . This in turn hasn’t helped my mood as you question your mortality . I just want to feel better and gave my mind at ease instead of constantly worrying about something . In the end you wonder if the symptoms are real or partly psychosymatic . Will I feel better if my period comes ? I spoke to my doctor as well last week and he was very reassuring , I always have it in the back of my mind if they’ve missed something . On Sunday the roast I cooked was a bit of a disaster and what could go wrong did go wrong . It was like the end of the world to me . I’m sure my husbands getting fed up of me with my changing moods and drama ! I can’t help it though . Anyone else suffering like this ?

    Hi Jane,unfortunately this sounds like many of us. The anxiety does make everything worse. I missed my first period at 50,so this sounds normal to me.I drive my husband crazy too, luckily he is understanding. I don't know if you will feel better when you get your period. For me the sweats ,brain fog,anxiety and no appetite has happened. your not alone.

    I am 52 and haven't missed one yet. Still moods are all over the place. My husband asked me the other day when this menopause was going to be done. Lol I said probably never! At least feels like it.

    My cooking isn't that great anymore unless I'm really 'with it' which is rare these days..  Thinking about using my crock-pot more as it's easier..   And yes to the chest pains-- moreso on the left side.  It's not all the time, just hear and there.. My moods are really bad around my period otherwise I feel like I'm just floating- not really here at times.

      No--- not in arms or face...  Have no idea why I get these but I do here and there..  I should monitor these and find out how often and how my mood is.

      I get the tingling in the arms and face but was told that it was due to the anxiety. :-(

    Me too Jane.  I just want the worrying to stop!  Give my mind a break... it’s so exhausting.
