Do you ever feel depressed while on your period?

Question

I’ve always struggled with anxiety and depression, and I’ve heard that sometimes people get depression around their period. I don’t want to self diagnose myself but I want to do some “research” before talking to my therapist. Does anyone ever feel sad or down or almost depressed while on their period?

Answer

About 3 weeks before my period I feel depression, anxiety, irritability, and and discontent. I have PCOS so I I also have irregular periods. I usually have a period every 45 to 65 days.

Answer

As soon as I ovulated I was hit with a 2 week depression until my period started! My anxiety would get worse too and I honestly think that's why my cramps and breast pains were so hideous every month. Luckily my OH is so patient and so used to it he doesn't even notice!
