The Anxiety Chicks

277. Monday Meditation: When PMS Feels Like You’re Falling Apart


Listen Later

If your anxiety spikes before your period…
If your thoughts feel darker, louder, or more convincing…
If you suddenly feel like you’ve “undone” all your progress…

This meditation is for you.

In the luteal phase of your cycle, progesterone and estrogen shift — and your nervous system becomes more sensitive. That sensitivity can amplify anxiety, intrusive thoughts, emotional intensity, and self-doubt.

This doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It doesn’t mean you’re back at square one.
It means your hormones are shifting.

This guided meditation helps you:

  • Regulate your nervous system during hormone changes

  • Separate temporary intensity from identity

  • Stop making permanent conclusions in a temporary state

  • Build trust with your cyclical body

  • Ride the wave instead of fighting it

    This is not about pushing through or pretending you’re fine.
    It’s about meeting this phase with awareness, compassion, and steadiness.

    Listen when anxiety feels louder before your period.
    Listen when you feel unlike yourself.
    Listen when you need the reminder:

    This is a phase.
    And it will pass.
