Hi Ladies
I was suffering badly with my anxiety so the doc increased my AD's and I havebeenfeeling better. Last night I came over anxious again. I went to bed at 8.30 and fell asleep around 9.30, I woke at 4am feeling sick and anxious and can't think why. My period is due, I'm scared that my anxiety will stay for a while and make me ill again. What can I do I've had talking therapies and CBT but they don't work, I just get fed up of feeling carp.
Thank you

Hi Honey

One day at a time, one hour at a time if need be....you can do and will get through this. I know I have been there too. it does pass.

Use relaxation to give time off from anxiety Glasgow Steps website have some good listening relaxation exercises.

Hugs for now Mrs J xxxxx

Sending lots of hugs - it's horrible isn't it?  I've been experiencing the same kind of anxiety.

I've found doing relaxation exercises helpful - they lower one's stress levels if you do them regularly (even when you feel like crap).

Exercise helps too - I often feel crap and then do exercise (still feeling crap) - but generally feel better after exercise.

Eating can help if you have blood sugar dips - I sometimes feel better after I've eaten (I notice this especially after breakfast).

Very gentle yoga helps me too - there's a DVD I practice to called Gentle Yoga for Every Body - see here:

- I find this helpful too.

Lots of hugs to you xxx

Eating every 3 hours 24/7 can ease any sugar dips.  I've had a morning of my body being really hungry but my brain not recognising the fact ……. sends me into a spiral

Hi ladies
Thanks for your replies. Well I've not eaten except for a yogurt as shortly afterwards I threw this back up. I've had the trots too. Usually I eat very regular, in fact I'm a bit of a grazer. I'm not a vomiter by nature and it only happens very rarely, I just hope this isn't another nasty symptom to deal with!
Thank you

HORMONES 

Make sure you keep hydrated!

I can understand that 'will the anxiety take over' feeling  - happened to me this morning  and when very anxious I dry heave ……...

Maybe a bug.

We blame everything on meno when sometimes it's not anything to do with it.

Hopefully you will feel better soon.
