I say that time of the month but that time basically lasts anywhere from 1-2 weeks after ovulation ends and before my period begins. 

I have bad health anxiety as is, as I’m sure would be embarrassingly obvious from my post history, but it’s usually manageable and I’m usually able to win against it. That is…. Until my hormones start going nuts and I’m convinced that every single little symptom means I’m dying and I have a constant terrible sense of impending doom. This can last anywhere from a few days to two weeks and it can drive me to very dark, scary thoughts that I wouldn’t normally have. 

What can I do for this? I am pretty against medication, but mostly because of the fact that I really do feel fine after my period starts and until ovulation begins, so I would be scared that medication might ease the “normal times” a bit too much. Does anyone have tips for things that help before resorting to medication?
