Severe Anxiety and PMS (the week before and the week after?)
« on: December 15, 2008, 02:07:20 PM »
Hey girls...

I just wanted to hear back from some of you whom suffer extream anxiety around that time of the month. I seem to have it really bad the week before sometimes 2 weeks before and then as I am coming off my period, it seems to start again. The same irritable, anxious, nervous, type feelings I have before my period. Do any of you have the same feelings even the week after? I feel so stressed, tense, shakey inside and mentally feel like I am just a time bomb. The feeling of being on edge that much......

These feelings could be due to huge hormonal changes you're getting every month.

For some people there is an anxiety related condition called PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder). Up to 5-8% of women are thought to have this disorder.

More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premenstrual_dysphoric_disorder

I'm not saying you have this condition but you might read it and relate to it, I would recommend you speak with your doctor further if you felt it could be a possibility.
