Suicidal feelings on my period?

Question

I haven’t been diagnosed or anything but I am 100% sure I have really bad anxiety and I sometimes think I have depression but I’m not too sure about that. But on my period I honestly feel awful I cry constantly and I feel so depressed and I always get suicidal thoughts. I sometimes feel suicidal even when I’m not on my period but when I am on my period it’s soooo much worse. Is this normal??

Answer

Hey K,
There are a lot of reasons you could be feeling so awful on your period. At one point I also had some very scary thoughts on and off my period and it turned out the culprit was my birth control.

The only way to get a beat on this is to go see a doctor THAT YOU LIKE. I emphasize that because if you don’t feel safe or taken care of, try someone else; keep looking until you find someone that gets you, will listen and is invested in your health and safety.

Maybe that’s a gynecologist, they will be able to take first steps to see about hormone issues, maybe this is a general doc who can direct and recommend a trusted colleague. Look for your best option, you deserve it.

I hope you spend a moment to celebrate hat you asked for help today. You deserve love even when you don’t think so. Sometimes that love needs to come from you, sometimes it’s a note from a stranger, best: it’s both. Take care.

With a hug,
K
