I've felt like I've had quite a few improvements in my overall mood. But this weekend I feel like I'm losing all my gains. I am exercising and watching what I'm eating.

I'm wondering if it could just be pms. Because I've been used to feeling this way all the time I have no way to separate whether it is pms. I'm wondering from you ladies out there even when you found yourself improving, if you still felt down or like you slipped all the way back during pms time.

I feel like I'm going right back where I started and it is scaring me. This is the first time in 2 weeks that I feel my cold clammy feeling all over that is always my first sign of my panic attacks.

hi curls,

I'm experiencing the same thing. I have been having some really good months and this pMS cycle I've really taken a dive and it's scaring the heck out of me. I usually get more anxious around my period but this time it's especially pronounced. I've been indulging in chocolate and fatty foods for the past month so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. I know a lot of us experience more anxiety/dep around this time. I've been trying to take a little better care of myself this week--taking baths, watch some funny movies, exercise a little longer to take the edge off. I know it's hard. I've been freaking out a little bit and a lot of my old scary thoughts are coming back Maybe we need to break out the relaxation tape and have a session or two until things calm down. I hope you feel better soon!! Take care.

Thanks hope4peace!

It feels good to know I'm not the only one that feels this way. I've been trying to take a little extra care of myself too, and it seems to be helping. The exercise really seems to work. I'm just trying to keep positive.

Thanks again!
