GAD

[soo_many_symptoms]

I suffer from Anxiety, Panic and depression amongst many other things. May or may not be connected with meno.
Suffering particularly badly at the moment, constant fight or flight mode in my body. Am fighting this without the aid
of prescription medication (through choice) but have CBT therapy which does seem to help. I am isolating myself at the moment, cannot interact with others and am quite depressed.
My question is does anyone know of any natural remedies for dealing with the anxiety side of things?
I try belly breathing which is really helpful but I cannot concentrate on this when I am in panic mode.
Any suggestions welcomed.
Thanks

I take it you mean menopause? Yes, when your going through that it can cause anxiety because of fluctuating hormones.
We do have a menopause forum here at Medhelp so you might want to check it out to see how other women are dealing with this problem.
That's great that your in therapy and it's helping you. Take care. Remar
