Work / uni stress?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been all-in for about 8 weeks now and still haven’t gotten my period back, but I’ve definitely noticed some signs.

Last month I actually thought it was coming because I had all the PMS symptoms, but then nothing happened. It felt like a false start, which was really frustrating.

Right now I’m also dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety from work and my studies. Last night I only slept around 4–5 hours, and today I feel this constant anxiety in my stomach, like I just can’t relax no matter how hard I try.

I’m scared that this stress is undoing my progress or delaying my recovery, and that thought makes me even more anxious.

I’m not working out at all and I’m making sure I eat well and consistently, so I’m really trying to do everything right.

I guess I’m just looking for reassurance or similar experiences.

Has anyone had PMS symptoms and anxiety before their period came back?

Can stress at this stage completely stop progress?

Thanks so much 🤍
