just a though. Have you had your estrogen/ progestin hormones checked?

No, I haven't. It's interesting you mention this, though, as I've wondered if I'm in perimenopause.
Anyway, why do you ask?

I am asking because low/high estrogen can cause depression and anxiety or they can get worse about 10 -14 days before your period.

My gyno did not suggest this to me but I am going there tomorrow to ask about it.

Btw am completely free of antidepressives and my anxiety did not get worse.

How are you doing?
:wink:

Yay! Good for you to get off the AD's!

So glad you're doing well.

I'd be interested to hear what your GYN has o say about this, if you'd be willing to share. I need to set up an appointment for one, myself. It's been years since I went.

Stop speculating!

I know, you're right. I agree. I'll definitely talk about this to my NP when I see her. I did bring it up at some point, a month or two ago, and we were planning on a three week stint in an eating disorder clinic, but probably this would bring different results than seeing a specialist.

^ Oops- sorry Jurriaan. I hit edit instead of quote. Rookie mistake!
