Heyy girlies ♥️ I just wanna know does anyone else experience bad anxiety? And also are very emotional before or during there period? It’s been driving me nuts !!!

Im a dude tho but I do have experience with anxiety as I've delt with it a lot throughout my life, I recommend you stay somewhere you are comfortable, not just physically but mentally as well, take good breaths cause anxiety can trigger an uncontrollable form of breathing that makes you feel like you are having a hard time breathing so slow breaths and empty mind, also try and find what triggers the anxiety, you might be able to stop it depending what it is

My guess would be that maybe it's the blood, some people can see blood and feel weird, I wouldn't be surprised if it can trigger an anxiety to some people, it's one thing to see blood somewhere else and it's can be completely different seeing and knowing it's yours

I haven’t started yet but I can feel it coming because I’m anxious and depressed 🥺 but thank you for your advice

Yea just remember the most important thing, you are in control not the other way around 💯

My last girlfriend did and it started as anger like two days before then for like three days... just dead. tried Iron and a bunch of other stuff I don't even know about. It was not an enjoyable week. It wasn't the pain...

I get very moody and anxious in the days leading up to my period as well as serious muscle aches on my lower back and hip area. Instead of trying to fight those feelings (they don’t go away, it’s the same every month) I instead embrace the natural cycle. I’ll journal what I’m feeling and shed the emotional baggage onto the pages just as my uterus sheds what is no longer needed. Remember to be kind and patient with yourself.

Not anxiety tho, for me more like mood swings and emotionally uncontrolable
