Period anxiety

NAS86473

Hi, looking for advice. Daughter has terrible fear of her periods. Not pain but fear of the sensations and the yuck of it and just can’t cope. Won’t leave house. Can anyone recommend a therapist or somewhere to get advice from someone who understands and can give her copying techniques for this particular fear, thank you

  • I'm with Juniper, preparation is everything. I remember I was like that when my periods first started. I wouldn't go to school, go to the shops, hardly went out and if I did it was never far. Try to help her understand it's ok and completely normal, every girl has this and the crushing anxiety that comes with it.

    Make sure she always has the extras needed and doubles as well, nothing worse than running out! Horrible. Always keep these on her wherever she goes as accidents can and do happen.

    I think going out somewhere local and quiet is a good idea. My mum did this with me and we went to the end of the garden first, then the park, and eventually I grew more in confidence with going out.

    Good luck to her. X

    Thanks for your reply. That’s what I think too but I think she hates sensation if things coming out so wants to sit still and tense muscles to keep it in. :(
