I don't know probably because we are getting to an age where our children are starting out with their own lives so we worry more about them and between that and maybe parents getting older and our own symptoms it turns into anxiety. I think we just have to ride it out and hope we come out the other end.

I just told my hubby exactly that! I'm tired of anxiety every day. I have to remind myself all day that I can only control certain things...but that's what's scary.

When I feel the anxiety coming on, I just keep telling myself that it’s hormones doing this, it will go away. It seems to help my brain to explain it to myself in some odd way.
I never had anxiety problems before. But I imagine women who did must be just awful if it elevates.

This all hit me like a ton of bricks, and I think that’s why it was so quick for me to think it was some dreadful illness. How could one possibly feel so ill with so many symptoms crashing down at once, and not think that. I’m so scared now thinking it’s all going to come back again.

I don’t get the heart palps anymore. Or the adrenaline rushes. I’m not even sure if those symptoms were from anxiety itself? Seems like it could be.
Now that I’m a bit more relaxed about accepting these symptoms as not fatal, things are easing up.

I am living in semi-isolation as much as I can effort. I can't face the real world. I feel guilty and sorry for my nearly 9years old daughter.

Hi Alison my anxiety was really bad HRT sorted my anxiety out after around 6 / 7 weeks I take both oestrogen & progesterone, not to sure I thought it was the oestrogen.

Yes seratonin levels in the brain drop when fluctuations in hormones cause a chemical imbalance, this is why a lot of women are offered antidepressant SSRI, although I'm nearly on week 3 and not feeling it yet. I hate the anxiety and panic part of this x

I’m convinced that our body cannot survive without estrogen and anxiety is its reaction to the lack of our female hormones.
