Please help I'm at my wits end! 40 years old and have suffered anxiety since the birth of my second child 12 years ago have been on meds for 11years everything was great until last year then literally all fell apart! Depression, anxiety back with a bang felt like I did after having a baby but much worse! Periods changed from 29 days to between 21 and 24 days now every 3 weeks seems like I'm living the hell the anxiety is its always a week after my period. I'm moody angry anxious nervous loads of tummy problems the list is endless I'm sick of all of this I've changed my diet and cut out refined sugar I'm taking vitamin b's doing Pilates and seeing a mind body and soul therapist yet I still go through the same thing every month. Am I going mad???

I hear ya sister! It hits me too. I have cats and a dog and feel at ease when I come home to them. A pet who is treated like family is a natural anti anxiety drug. I don't like meds for anxiety, they make me sleepy. This all sucks, I know! I'm asking God to reincarnate me as a man the next time around. A woman more than once wouldn't be fair. I would even rather be a weed, or a plant, not a woman. He really blessed us with this.

I'm glad Polly😊 I've always had a special place in my heart for animals. I've saved many, and they help me! My cats are the type that will cuddle with a stranger. That shows ya, how I treat them. When I fell out of my attic in 2012, I severely injured my ankle. It could've been much worse. I was crying in pain, and as I layed there, I had 3 furry faces looking down on me so concerned as I laid there in tears of pain. They're not just animals like ppl think, they are our best friend who provide uncondionional love no matter how we feel, act or look

Anxiety is the worst feeling, amongst all the other symptoms, I had this but feeling better since incorporating magnesium it really did make a difference to my levels of anxiety, a daily dose which probably took a week or so to kick in x
