Hi I’m 18 and have been struggling with anxiety and depression for many many years and was medicated for a couple years but went off of them about a year ago. I’ve been doing ok until recently, the last couple weeks I’ve only been able to eat maybe a meal a day and now since yesterday I’ve been sweating shaking and just want to cry I feel so stressed out and horrible I just don’t know what to do, and my bf wants to help and tries but it’s not enough I just feel sick and horrible not to mention my period is supposed to be starting and I have pmdd so everything is just so much worse.. any advice or help would be deeply appreciated.

I'm sorry you are struggling so much 🥺

Anxiety is tough, and to add periods in with that.

I'm glad you have a supportive boyfriend.

It's important to identify what will help you to feel better before your period.

A hot water bottle.

A nice warm bath with nice lotions in it.

Taking it easy on yourself.

And when you've anxiety, lavender sprayed on your pillow helps, listening to music to drown out the noise, and telling yourself, you are safe and this will pass soon.

And letting your bf know, you appreciate him 💚

I hope you feel better soon 💚
