I see so many posts on this site about the stress/anxiety/panic related to meno that I wanted to share my trick for coping (or at least trying to cope). I have dealt with anxiety on and off for most of my life, but more so since entering peri. I don't like the idea of taking most of the prescription drugs for treatment (the thought of taking them causes too much anxiety ) so I've tried using Rescue Remedy spray. It's a homeopathic stress/anxiety reliever and it really works! When I get that anxious feeling, just a couple sprays on the tongue and a couple deep breaths and it's amazing how much better I feel. For severe anxiety or panic it may take a few more sprays, but it eventually works. Hopefully it will help some of you, too.
