Anxiety Caused By Hormones
Panic Attacks, Anxiety?

I have been having panic attacks for about 2 and a half months now. But for the past week or so my anxiety has been so bad I have been anxious about having an attack and I almost have an attack by worring I will have one! Do you think this could be caused by hormones and stuff because I just started my period?
I dont mean I just started I have had my period for years, I mean I started today.
And I want to be able to get through this without medication, Im only 17 and I am involed in sports, band, Im a senior, I really dont want to take meds.

I have the same problem that started when I was 18yrs old. I tried to tell my mom about it at the time but I guess I didnt explain myself so well because she just laughed a little when I told her that I felt like I had permanent stage fright . I just learned to deal with it for a long time but when I got into a car accident it got so intense that I could no longer drive, just the thought of driving would send me over the edge badly (heartpounding crying stomach upset)
I let this go on for almost eight years! When my husband couldn’t take being the family choffer anymore he told me I had to start driving again and that was finale!
I spent weeks literally ill (the worst) the whole process of getting my license felt like the end of the world!
That was a almost a year ago. The first few weeks of driving alone were terrible I felt like a deer caught in the headlights!………Slowly but surely I became more confident, I still panic sometimes but I just tell myself that its ok to be scared but not to let it cloud my judgement, and when it gets overwhelming I just pull over and relax & BREATH!

Im not a doctor so I don’t know the extent of what hormones are capable of but I’d say that its a strong possibility theres a link between your panic feelings and hormones. I would go to the Dr. to have things checked out.

I hope you start to feel better soon and please if you remember anything of this long boring rant let it be this………..
Don’t let your fearful feelings lead you to harm yourself or others!

Good luck♣ & God Bless
