I guess this is geared toward the women folk today. I am 49 and knocking on menopause door so to speak. I obsess badly when I am PMSing. And of course it is all negative. I cry alot too. Man this is tough. I have some really good days and then here come some bad days. I guess I just have to work harder at blasting out the negative thoughts on the tougher days! Thanks for listening. Prayers to all.

Yup, mine is always worse around my period!! As a matter of fact, I have like two "good" weeks out of the month....

Have you ever heard of/tried bio-identical progesterone? I get my prescription from my OB and have it made specifically for me from a compounding pharmacy. It has made a world of difference for me. My anxiety was going thru the roof with hormonal changes after 5 years of being pregnant or nursing. It took me a while to find the right person who would listen to me, but when you are knocking on menopause's door, your progesterone goes down first and then your ratio of estrogen/progesterone changes and you feel crappy. I tried so hard with the changing negative thoughts into positive and I still had no success and thought I was failing the program. I started with the progesterone and about 1000lb. of stress and guilt fell off my back.
