Hi all,
I have had GAD for most of my life and in some periods of my life very bad and other periods not so bad. I just turned 40.
The last couple of years, I have noticed that my anxiety really gets worse / better depending on where I am in my cycle. 
7-9 days leading up to my monthly period my anxiety will get really bad, with anxiety attacks, insomnia, non-stop worrying. On the other hand in the period around ovulation it gets much better and I feel like nothing can take me down! 
I know it’s probably due to the changes in hormone levels and have discussed it with my doctor who advised me to go on the mini-pill. However I have tried hormonal birth control before and it made me really depressed 😣
Do anyone experience the same and / or has some advice to offer?
