"How can I manage my anxiety that worsens during my menstrual cycle?"

**65-90% of women experience physical or emotional symptoms during their menstrual cycle**, with up to 50% reporting worsened anxiety symptoms during this time.

**Hormonal fluctuations** are a primary contributor to worsened anxiety symptoms during the menstrual cycle, particularly during the luteal phase when estrogen and progesterone levels are highest.

**Sleep disturbances** can exacerbate anxiety symptoms, as women tend to experience poorer sleep quality during the premenstrual phase.

**Social and environmental factors**, such as work or relationship stress, can contribute to worsened anxiety symptoms during the menstrual cycle.

**Women with a history of anxiety disorders or trauma** may be more susceptible to exacerbated symptoms during their period.

**Exercise can help reduce anxiety** by increasing oxygen intake and circulation, which can alleviate symptoms.

**Calcium, vitamins E and D, thiamine, magnesium, and omega-3 fish oil** may help alleviate anxiety symptoms, as they have a calming effect on the nervous system.

**Natural diuretics**, such as celery, cucumbers, and watermelon, can help reduce bloating and alleviate anxiety symptoms.

**Green tea** has been shown to have a relaxing effect and can help reduce anxiety symptoms.

**Relaxation techniques**, such as yoga, meditation, and massage therapy, can help control premenstrual anxiety.

**Anxiety before a period can be a sign of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)**, which can cause severe irritability, depression, or anxiety in the week or two before menstruation.

**Hormonal changes can affect mood**, leading to anxiety symptoms, and treatment options may include medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes.

**The relationship between anxiety and the menstrual cycle is bidirectional**, meaning that high stress levels can cause an irregular menstrual cycle, and conversely, the menstrual cycle can cause spikes in anxiety at certain times.

**Women with PMS are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and irritability** before menstruation, which can be alleviated with relaxation techniques and lifestyle changes.

**Women who experience worsened anxiety symptoms during their period are more likely to report depression, sleep disturbances, and improved mood after the onset of menstruation**.
