I have my gyn yearly exam in three weeks and I wanted to talk to the gyn about how ever since I got my periods back after my baby was born- it's like the PMS is horrible. I get anxiety attacks for the week before my period and then it's like once the flow starts - physically and mentally I feel like I'm totally relaxed. It's strange to me. I was curious if anyone else feels that and if you know of anything I can take for it?

Holy Moly do I know what you are talking about!!! It has gone away since I started my supplements and medications. Not sure what helped the most, but I'm thinking it was the calcium pills and vitamin D supplements. I'm also noticing that NAC has a big impact on my emotions.
I am in the same boat as you...a week before my period (mine are induced by prometrium) and the week of my period I PANIC...I either feel like I can't breath, am having a heart attack or I just lay around crying for hours because I'm so damn lonely (hubby works 2nd shift)...I feel terrible guilt because my daughter ends up not having her mommy because I just can't get myself off the couch because I panic so bad. I'm actually having a terrible panic attack right now which is why I came on this board...so I have FULL sympathy for you.
But it does make me feel better to know that other women are dealing with this also and I'm not alone...I guess learning to relax is the best thing to deal, but of course it's easy for someone who doesn't have anxiety to give that advice and for us who recieve the advice want them to put the advice where the sun doesnt shine lol. Maybe you can talk to your doc about getting some anti-anxiety meds just for you period time...my doc was talking about doing Prozac during that time of the month.

There are occasions that I have a positive feeling that something terrible has happened. No matter what it is, I feel like the world is going to end. I get the panic feeling that something bad will happen to my family or myself. Some periods are better than others. I mostly am meaner the more pain i am in. I have to admit that I should never have watched any zombie movie. I know this is a completly irrational fear but the thought still scares the heck out of me.
Lately I too have been experiencing really bad pms symptoms. In the past the worst of it for me was cramping and some breakouts and feeling bloated. During my last few periods though I've been having increased anxiety. I'm not sure if it is due to hormonal changes or the stress in my life or due to my thyorid or PCOS symptoms. Instead of being happy that my periods are back lately I've felt really bummed about being on my period because it's not usually a good feeling around the time I'm having it.
Severe PMS w/ Severe Anxiety?
