Stress and Anxiety

Anxiety before your period is not random. This article explains the hormonal shift behind premenstrual anxiety, how to tell PMS from PMDD, and the most effective ways to feel better.

You've told yourself to stop thinking. It hasn't worked. It never really does, and there's a reason for that.

You are still answering emails at 11 p.m. You remembered everyone's doctor's appointments but forgot your own. You said "I'm fine" again today, even though you are not.

Your nervous system seems to be running on a shorter fuse, and no amount of rational reassurance quite reaches it.
