Whu does my anxiety go sky high the week b4 and the week during my period ???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormones: Your Estrogen and Progesterone levels drop quite low starting the week before your period. And they remain low during most of your period. These low hormone levels can trigger anxiety in some women. Best wishes!
