First things first. Mood changes, including feeling more anxious than normal, are super typical before your period. Basically, it all comes down to hormonal shifts that happen as part of our menstrual cycle.Changes in hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which occur before our period, can have an effect on feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine. And that can trigger a flood of not-so-good feelings.So why doesn’t everyone turn into a basket case before their period? First of all, pre-period mood changes can come in a bunch of different forms. Some women might be extra irritable while others feel inexplicably sad or angry. For others, the issue is anxiety.Keep in mind, too, that some women are just less sensitive to hormone shifts than others. And the more sensitive you are, the more likely you might be to get hit with all the feels before your period.Jess and Cody are diving into this topic on today's episode and sharing about the link between anxiety and periods, why anxiety might flare up before a period and how to manage period and pre-period anxiety.Did you learn something new today?
