Hi everyone, I found this site while looking up my symptoms for pms. I don't have 'social anxiety'. I'm 24 years old btw. I'm not a shy person. However, every 2 weeks out of a month before my period, I suffer with severe PMS symptoms...which includes anxiety and nervousness. I am suffering so much with this...here are my symptoms:
mental symptoms
-suspicious of people-I think everyone "hates" me,and they think I'm a weak person.
- Anxiety/nervous-I feel like my voice is shakey when I speak. I don't feel confident when I'm talking to people...even though everyone tells me I sound "normal". I keep thinking they are reading my mind.
-sadness/hopeless- I feel sad about my above symptoms. I feel sorry about what I'm going through.
-crying easily- I cry if someone says something to me...the smallest thing I find hurtful.
-angry/temper- I snap at people at times, I try to seek a person to fight with. Everything annoys me. I want to spit at someone who says something I don't like.
-mood swings. I get all the above symptoms continuously changing. Sometimes I get super happy...then back to the above horrible symptoms.
Physical Symptoms:
-cravings -I eat alot
- cramps
-headaches
What should I do? I pray to God to help me with this, I don't think anyone should live this way. I truly have empathy for people in this forum who are going through mental issues such as social anxiety. I have PMS, and I don't want to take anti-depressants for this because they tend to be addictive? Does anyone out there feel this, and what do you do? I'm worried about my relationships with my family and my very few friends that I have, and my job. I wish I had someone to talk to about this ...like a psychiatrist, but I don't have time to see one!! What should I do?
