Well I feel like my friends don’t necessarily understand me so hopefully you guys can relate ! 

So I have moderate to severe anxiety, for the past 5 years and I’m not on meds just bc I refuse to be. Does anyone notice that their anxiety / panic attacks increase during their period? Like at this point I can’t tell if it’s hormones or what but I get the tight chest feeling and need to cry literally anywhere. 

Also what do you guys do to distract your minds? I put some essential oils and listen to some music but my thoughts sometimes do take over and I just cry my heart out. I used to be the type of person to express any emotion to anyone and I used to think it was embarrassing and well everyone by now has seen me cry. 

How do you guys deal with the loss of appetite do to your extreme anxiety? I can go 3-5 days without eating a normal meal, once it took me a day just to get through a banana.
