This for me is one of the worst symptoms. From someone who has always been very relaxed when this anxiety comes it’s not fun. This can be as a result of reduced progesterone which in turn reduces GABA our relaxation neurotransmitter (also a big contributor to the lack of sleep).
Lifestyle practices are crucial. Finding the time to relax, take the time out for yourself and practice slow deep diaphragmatic breaths.
