Hi ladies, how’s everyone coming along? I started my cycle today and I’m feeling quite on edge which sucks. I just can’t seem to stop obsessing about my state of mind all the time, and I do have good/almost completely normal moments when I’m busy but it’s the opposite when I’m at home. Especially whenever I’m alone :/ it’s hard to think rationally sometimes, but looking back I do believe this setback has to do with my hormones because it started in July when I was in the midst of a month long period due to stress. Anyways, I just hope I possibly feel better after this period. Let me know how you’re all doing!
I’m feeling exactly the same as you. Obsessing over my state of mind unless I keep myself busy. Today I started thinking about a show I watched back in March where this dude slowly went crazy and then I convinced myself that that’s what is happening to me. I feel like I’m constantly living through awful scenarios in my head and it’s exhausting. But I’m trying to change my mindset and think more positive thoughts. It’s just hard after 3 years of catastrophizing.
You are me!! I’ve spent almost every day these past few months worrying about me going crazy because of my mind pops, sleeping issues, etc. It really is difficult and I think that constantly googling my symptoms and what not has done more harm than good. I just want us to be better :(
Stayed up until 5AM last night and now I’m having a weird day. Just feeling very zoned out and nervous, and worried about a panic attack coming on. How’s everyone else doing?
I hope you’re feeling better right now, I totally understand the nights like those. Today I’m doing okay, I got my period 3 days ago and I feel less obsessive and panicky than I did before so I know it really must be my hormones. The thoughts are still there but just more in the back of my head
Has anyone else noticed any eye changes throughout all of this? I’ve had floaters for a while and they’ve been a bit more noticeable again lately, and tonight I’m panicking because I was looking at the white blinds on my windows and I saw like rain in my vision? Obviously it wasn’t real rain but it was like static, similar to the floaters in a way. The physical symptoms of this make me so anxious.
YES YES YES. I’ve had floaters since November. Apparently it’s a pretty common thing with anxiety because the fact of the matter is we always have floaters, it’s just easier to notice them when you’re anxious. Totally normal.
Wow thank you!! I hate that the anxiety makes us notice them more and then we also get separate anxiety about the floaters. I’m not exactly sure how long I’ve had them but I do know that it started in these past 2 years, and I do think that right now I could be noticing them more because of not just the anxiety but my vitamin deficiencies. Hopefully these supplements help
It’s okay. I’ve been hyper aware of everything these past few days and it’s exhausting so I know how you feel.
How are you feeling today? I’ve been feeling very hyperaware again for about 2-3 days and it sucks. I’m just so worried about every little thing and I wish I wasn’t
I’m doing better I think! I honestly haven’t been eating or sleeping great lately so I doubt that’s helping. But I think my supplements are finally starting to kick in and I’ve also been taking CBD.
That’s great, I’m so glad you’re seeing improvements!! Same here with the sleeping and eating, I feel like my brain has become wired to just stay awake even when I’m drained from all the anxiety.
How’s everybody doing? No posts in almost a week so I hope that means we’re all feeling better! :)
Hey!! I’m doing okay, I have some moments here and there but I’ve been feeling a little better. I’ve thankfully been able to snap out of it when I have my anxious moments. How are you doing?
I had a really great day yesterday of almost no anxiety and in general the past week had been good. Today I’m having a little more anxiety but like you said I’ve been able to not fixate on it and drive myself crazy. It still sucks and it’s still unsettling but I’m hopeful that every passing day will get better!
