Easy for her to say that 

Cortisol may well be the culprit.  My anxiety is worse in the mornings, as I work through any daily commitments, by evening I'm a different person 

[lollipop]

It doesn't help me knowing that others suffer too.  It's a sudden physical jolt for me, can be OK then wham.  Holidays make it worse

I got back from Ibiza on Friday, only went mon-fri but the anxiety kicked in on the weds! Although I'm home now I'm not 100% but better than I was. The only thing is, it worries me about future holidays in case it happens again! Anxiety is the worse, you aren't alone with this and holidays.

Probably worrying about the return journey ?   

Did you manage to enjoy any of it?

I can so so relate to this.
Every time my husband books a holiday I panic the week before & going to the airport is awful. I dread it. I feel ungrateful to feel like this but can't help it. It just seems one big stress. I know it is the menopause because I used to absolutely love going away & flying.

I always wobble after we book and my anxiety ramps up big time, I look for excuses not to go, then I calm down and it starts again a couple of weeks before we go! CLKD, despite the anxiety I really loved it, just did nothing except for going out to eat xXx

Morning everyone! Currently in Turkey and anxiety is horrendous  Just want to go home, like you all, used to go anywhere no fear, this spoils your quality time, it's the pits .... Home on Sunday so hanging on in there.... may start packing this evening to help me feel better  Silly thing is evenings I feel calmer.  Going to have to go back on SSRIs to cut through this adrenaline and cortisol.  Not worth this.  Hope you all have a good day ladies xx

Hello ladies

I can so relate to all of this! Holidays and any special occasion puts me into an anxious spin. I never used to be this way and when I recall the places I've been and the adventures I've had I know this is the menopause. It saddens me to think how difficult it's become to do even simple things.

Lilyloos -  I often feel calmer in the evenings even at home. Yesterday for example I was okay and energetic in the morning, totally crashed in the afternoon feeling tired and wired but in the evening I was much better and calmer. It's exhausting.

Take care everyone.
