Happy Sunday ladies, I always hear the term "anxiety " as a symptom of menopause. I even diagnosed myself as having it sometimes. Others have said I have it as well. However, I know many symptoms can take form as other things. So with that being said has anyone had a diagnosis of anxiety? How does your body feel internally when it surfaces? What are the thoughts in your head when you have an episode? Lastly, what do you do during an episode to control it? Are you on medication or are you doing something else to calm it down?
I am taking rx flonase and I notice sometimes when I use it I feel a wave of nervousness about 5 minutes later. Its weird. Other times I spontaneously feel nervous, rapid heartbeat but i notice when i get stressed or worry to much I feel anxious. Menopause takes on so many different feelings, forms and experiences because of the inbalance of hormones its very frustrating at times. I am trying to focus on de-stressing and having harmonious thoughts because I am learning where the mind goes the behind follows.... 🙏🙏🙏 for all of us going through the "change"...
Best to you all,
jessica❤

You know the part in the horror movie when the victim is frantically running from the slow walking person with the axe? That is what anxiety feels like to me. You know the part where the victim trips and the person with the axe is standing over them? That is what a panic attack feels like to me. Impending doom, racing thoughts, out of breath, dizzy, eyes go wonky, numbness in hands and/or around mouth and tip of nose, inability to concentrate, and mostly the most intense feeling of wanting to flee my current situation.
