peri anxiety

Hi peri friends.
I have been experiencing bad anxiety lately for no particular reason. It has hit completely out of the blue. It has been up and down for a week now. I haven't had it this bad for years. Is this normal for peri?

Sorry it can be a peri symptom, my struck out of no where in Nov 2012 and at the time i never connected the two. At the time I thought I was going to die with some terrible illness. Even booked myself in for a complete health check to rule out anything. Not one of my doctors ever put the age, peri as a possibility. Was offered anti depressants and suggested I booked into see a counsellor, which I said no to as this wasn't me and didn't know where it came from. Have since read it is very common especially the fear of doom and gloom.
Oh what it is to be a lovely female ha! Ha!
Now I understand things a little better this has certainly helped.
i am on a low dosage of HRT, Oestrogel and Utrogestan as I am still peri.
i have regular acupuncture and have now booked to see a homepatic on Tuesday to see if that will help.
this forum has been my godsend to confirm that I am not going daft (even though hubby probably thinks I am) and that I am not alone. Please go back over all the old stories on here and I can promise you it will help you understand what can happen.
Loads of hugs,
Joy

its still early days for me as I only started a few weeks ago and yet to have my first bleed. This is now my fourth attempt in trying different HRT's but have read really good reviews and success on this regime so my fingers and toes are truly crossed for success this time round!!
my own cycle used to be 25 days so personally I'm having to adapt the progesterone part (Utrogestan) to start on day 12-26 rather than days day 15-26 as they recommend as I can feel my old cycle to start brewing on day 12, and when I need extra support.
This is I believe is the kindest of the HRT's and I believe they call it the gold standard of HRT's.
i have an appointment with Dr. Danni Evans (she is a specialist in the menopause) in early March to ask her advice if I am going the right way.
once I see the homepatic tomorrow then that may well be my answer but to be honest I just want to go back to feeling myself again and not having to panic that tomorrow will bring more anxiety and the feeling of constant fear that there is something sinister going on.
big hugs coming your way Mooma,
Joy xx

Thanks for your reply. You say that you have had a lot of UTI's.
Can I just ask you if you knew you had them from symptoms? Because I don't always have the symptoms(this time I have but only my anxiety and funny head). I often wonder how long I've had one before I really notice.
Thanks.
Helen.

Yes this is normal because last year was when I started having bad anxietis and heart palpitations this year it has cut back I think I was in my phase or Peri last year and did not know it
let it take its course and everything will be fine
