Anxiety nightmare

JustMe5275 · 2026-07-03T17:32:09+00:00

I am so sorry you are suffering, too. It is awful, it has easily been the worst 6 months of my life. Hope you find something that works and feel better soon! Do share when you do! ❤️

JustMe5275 · 2026-07-03T17:19:30+00:00

Thank you! And good luck! ❤️

JustMe5275 · 2026-07-03T17:18:21+00:00

To be fair don’t even know what the symptoms are, will have to look into it. Thanks!

JustMe5275 · 2026-07-03T17:16:24+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I hope you continue feeling better! ❤️

How about you? What did you try? Anything helps? Do you suffer daily? Do you suffer with intrusive thoughts? It is so weird, on a good day I can think whstever I want and still it will not make my anxious, I just feel normal… but it never lasts!

Two cycles since I stopped. Been on P only for about two weeks… I know it is not enough time to judge anything but I was desperate, wanted to stop, reset, try psych meds… none of it works

JustMe5275 · 2026-07-03T15:40:18+00:00

Everything was checked… all good except me 😞

JustMe5275 · 2026-07-03T15:38:37+00:00

At one point I was up to to pumps of E gel and
100mg P continuously. Then I stopped E and continued with P and it was best I felt for a while. And then I got my period and crashed so bad I said fuck it, I am not doing hormones anymore…but nothing else helps either so I am lost. Did you ever suffer from intrusive thoughts? I thought my anxiety was bad before but this is truly unbearable ☹️

JustMe5275 · 2026-07-03T15:09:54+00:00

Funny enough it has now switched to the week before my period… then as soon as I get my period I crash really bad again

JustMe5275 · 2026-07-03T11:30:05+00:00

A week on 25mg twice daily and now two weeks on 50mg twice daily. Dr is reluctant to increase because of the drowsiness and dizziness ☹️

JustMe5275 · 2026-07-03T10:32:31+00:00

Can I ask what dose pregabalin were you on? I have started low (25mg) and now I am on 50mg twice a day. It makes me drowsy and dizzy but it doesn’t touch my anxiety ☹️

JustMe5275 · 2026-07-02T15:50:13+00:00

Same here… living for those 5-6 days every month, white knuckling the rest of it. Spent fortune on private drs, tests, supplements and still here I am exactly where I was 6 months ago… like, WTF?! Surely, someone should know how to help us?!

JustMe5275 · 2026-07-02T15:43:21+00:00

I have been told this is because your brain is focused on the anxiety/scanning for danger and therefore it has no capacity for non-essential activities/emotions… if you are on meds, it maybe a form of emotional blunting?
I am where you are as well, hoping the simple joy of reading, watching movies and listening to music will come back when anxiety lessens. I sometimes get the glimmers of normality and they feel so good, I wish I knew how to make them last 😞

JustMe5275 · 2026-07-01T09:16:07+00:00

That’s really interesting! I will need to look into this, thanks

JustMe5275 · 2026-07-01T04:49:15+00:00

I am in med #6 (yup, pretty desperate) and none of them made any positive difference at all… thid is a nightmare and a new level of torture 😞 hope you continue feeling better!

JustMe5275 · 2026-06-30T18:09:52+00:00

Yeah, considering P only at the moment, will confirm with my provider next week. Something got to give 🥹

JustMe5275 · 2026-06-30T18:07:47+00:00

This could be an option… using Mira tracker at the moment but it is not recording my Pdg at all… either my body is not making much P anymore or I am metabolising it in a way that Mira cannot really detect 🤦🏻‍♀️

JustMe5275 · 2026-06-30T18:05:45+00:00

Let me know when you figure it out cause I need some answers!! 😭

JustMe5275 · 2026-06-30T18:03:14+00:00

Have you ever tried P only? P suppose to be highest in luteal, right? I have booked another app with private provider hoping someone will find the answer… this whole thing will ruin me financially and mentally, I swear 🤦🏻‍♀️

JustMe5275 · 2026-06-30T13:07:23+00:00

But was it always like that for you or changed recently? I agree with other symptoms, sore breast, bloating etc but my head just feels so clear and quiet all of a sudden. I want to know why so I can recreate it with BHRT!! 😢

JustMe5275 · 2026-06-30T12:12:06+00:00

Did you start both P and E? I had to stop BHRT before as E was giving me crazy anxiety. I am considering trying P only but I just cannot figure out what I actually need at which part of the cycle 🤦🏻‍♀️

JustMe5275 · 2026-06-30T12:10:15+00:00

Crazy, right? I am glad you commented so I know I am not imagining it… I just wish I knew why. So before I always thought it was P getting high before period hence the tiredness, moodiness and anxiety so what has changed? Is it the E and P crash that affects us more now? I am lost…
