How should i reduce anxiety during periods?

abc00 · Feb 7, 2012

Friends,

I get so anxious about even petty things during my periods or PMS time. I earlier did not know the reason but one day i started to sort out the reason and i found this common occurence during periods time. At one time i picked up fight with husband, or felt very low due to some reason which is not in my hands or worry so much about talking something (assuming it hurt someone). Otherwise im a normal person eating healthy and exercising to be fit.

I think of meditation but cannot really focus on this during periods as im in so much body pains.

What can i do about this? I now really take care not to take any big decisions during such times:rant

It is impossible to think straight when you’re swamped with anxiety. A racing heart, sweating palms, panic and confusion are the result of adrenalin. So the first thing to do is take time out so you can physically calm down.
