Depression and anxiety during period

I've always had horrible periods. The week before is a horror of emotional rollercoaster. During my period I get horrible cramps, I feel so tired. I just need to lay down the first 2 days. I suffer from anxiety and some depression. It is not severe but I find myself not wanting to do anything during my period I just want to cry and lay down. I don't think my husband completely understands how much it affects my life. But it really does. And I obviously can't just stop working those couple days. But all I want to do is lay in bed in the dark. I don't know if its normal but it makes me feel like such a weak person or like I am a failure. I'm afraid this anxiety and depression might come back other than during my period. I really don't wanna get back on meds..
