Anxiety and Hormones: 3 Tips to Reduce Anxiety During Your Menstrual Cycle

When I lived with constant anxiety, every day was difficult. My negative thoughts were persistent and symptoms made every day like a minefield.

However, the days before my menstrual period were the worst. Especially when I had been under a lot of stress during the month. I started to notice the pattern, because, just as I could be in my darkest moment, in a day or two I felt like myself again, as if nothing had happened. The following month, same story.

I am going to share with you the changes I have made in my life to minimize the hormonal effects on my mood.

1. More Leisure and Pleasure

During your pre-menstrual cycle, you can experience PMDD. PMDD is a more severe disorder than PMS. PMDD can cause severe irritability, depression and anxiety. To prevent this, place yourself in a healthy, more happier environment.

2. Reduce Alcohol Intake

According to the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, heavy alcohol use and withdrawal include changes to the neurochemical system that promote panic.
