    I have anxiety...I started going to therapy and my therapist helped me figure out the underlying cases of my anxiety. We use cognitive behavioral therapy. Using a "thought record" helps me dissect my feelings and anxiety. My anxiety has gotten much better the past 6 monthes. You can google search "CBT thought record" to see what I am talking about. :)

    Oh it is much worse around "that time of the month". I can totally relate with you on that. I also work in a quiet office. When I feel anxious or panic little things will startle me too.

    Sounds just like all of us :) you're not alone :flowerforyou:

    Not to be argumentative, but not all of us. I've never seen a relationship between anxiety and menstruation, even when keeping logs for my therapist and doctors. I'm not saying it's not common, but it's certainly not universal.

    I agree. I tracked my mood for two years straight and there was no correlaton between menstruation and my mood.


    Me neither. It is know that birth control can bring on feelings of anxiety during the time of month, but I don't have that either.

    I take birth control and I do get anxiety the entire week before I get my period. Everyone is different. I try to just exercise, eat well and think positively. I get through it. Sometimes it feels unbarable but I manage. Some day I will see a therapist. I don't have insurance right now and live paycheck to paycheck. Until then I will have to deal. Because I don't have a clue why I am the way I am. Someone needs to help me find out why! :) Thank you all for your input! It's very much appreciated! :bigsmile:
