I have had anxiety as long as I can remember. If I am going to be suicidal.... thats the time it happens. And what do I do to cope with the anxiety...??? ..... binge. I am now 48 and possibly in some stage of 'the change of life'.

So now (doesnt take me long at all to get there) going to see a doctor who can test hormone levels.

Anti depressants take a slight edge off things. A week before my period I drop things, I have nightmares, I am teary, I have mood swings and would run you over if I drove a Truck. Good thing I live by myself.

Anxiety is a pre cursor to depression. So get yourself checked out. Any less bumps in the road is a good thing.
