If driving anxiety suddenly showed up during perimenopause or menopause, there’s a reason it started when it did. Estrogen affects areas of your brain involved in fear, anxiety, and your fight-or-flight response, so hormonal changes can make driving (or even being a passenger) feel insanely stressful. I spent years wondering why I suddenly felt so anxious on highways before I ever connected it to menopause. Ok totally unrelated but OMG can you see all my new baby hair growth? It’s all over my head! My “routine” is working! 😱😍 #menopause #drivinganxiety #hormones #perimenopause #postmenopause
