This is my first time posting a question, and I apologize if it's already been asked here.

Does anyone else experience extreme anxiety around the same time you start your period? I had my first anxiety attack in October. Another one last month, and one last Saturday. I've never experienced anything like this in my life. I believe they have each lined up with when I start my cycle.

A little back story, I broke a front tooth about 6 years ago. Now out of no where I have these irrational fears of breaking another tooth, and at one point I convinced myself that I could feel my front teeth move. I literally had to video myself trying to move my teeth and showing myself that they were not budging, so that I could watch it on my phone to reassure myself. This anxiety is really scary and I'm exhausted for two full days after one of these anxiety attacks. I'm sorry for dragging this out, but I'm desperate to know if anyone else can relate to spiraling over irrational thoughts. For reference I am 43 years old and have been in perimenopause for almost two years now.
