Hi everybody,
I definitely agree that panic attacks are related to hormonal changes. I tend to get panic attacks when I have my period. They are also influenced by pregnancies and postpartum hormonal changes. Maybe that's why panic disorder is more frequent in women than in men.
But, on the other hand, what difference does it make? Of course, we are not crazy and we are not making these things up. Of course, panic attacks are physiological, and some of them are caused by physiological processes. But we have to learn to deal with them anyways.
Molly, I really hope you'll be able to have children. Many women with endometriosis don't even know that they have it, and they waste lots of time and money on infertility treatments. So in a way, it's a good thing that you had that surgery. When you decide to have children, you'll know what to do about it, and hopefully, it will be easier for you.
