Nearly all of my panic attacks happen in the week before my period. Does anyone else have this? I'd love to know if there's anything that helps

    Try every day birth control pills so you don't have period s.. With a doctors supervision of course.

      No I did not try birth control pills which are some times used to regulate the cycle. Every day birth control is mostly used by athletes who don't want to bother with periods. Its safety hasn't really been tested. But it is available. Birth control pills are also used to co trol acne. Of course there are risks

    I get increased anxiety right before my period. It has to do with your hormones. I am on birth control, but I still get my period each month. Try googling breathing exercises and learn how to calm yourself down. I find meditating really helps.

      To be honest, no. I've been on birth control since I am 16. I am now 24. I just recently started having problems with anxiety the last few years.
