Extra anxious and or emotional during period

Ashley

Does anyone else get extra anxious and or emotional during their period? I have GAD to begin with and am a pretty emotional person without my period. When I have my period my anxiety spikes through the roof and my emotions are all over the place. Like it’s 3:30am now and i am wide awake because I’m so anxious, emotional and crampy. If you struggle with this tips on how to deal with it all would be appreciated .
