Thank you for your replies. I guess I am shocked by the intensity of the flow and pain, there is really no reason for it, last month I was 3 weeks late and engored so you would expect very heavy, this month right on time, I did not do anything wrong, I ate properly, walked and took care of myself, I get so scared because I am all alone with my young son, if something should happen to me I do not want anything to happen to him! I am going to try to lay down with my legs up but then I worry about my son, I keep remembering "no one ever bled to death or died from their period" maybe if I keep telling myself this I will believe it. I feel so frightned and alone, I did not do anything strenous today and it still is bad and scary, does anyone else have this phobia?? I have been having my monthly since I was 12 why now am I pretrified?! I guess its just part of the severe anxiety and panic I suffer. Please send prayers my way so I can care for my son. I am sorry if I am a nuisance or this is too long. Thank you, Debbie.
