Period from hell

Hey guys! This is going to be pretty unfiltered so if you have a sensitive stomach you may want to stop reading at this point. Yes, I’ve been on many forms of BC and even tried going without it.

Long story short. I swear my periods will be the death of me. About 10 days before it even starts, I’m extremely suicidal, depressed, and agitated at this point in time-compared to my normal( noticed the trend after so many years). I am actually mentally miserable and it’s always way worse than what PMS has been described to me as, it’s like suddenly I truly am just in the worst mental state ever.

My cramps and physical issues that come with it are terrible. I’ve noticed it get worse through the years. I get extremely sharp stabbing pains in my stomach/pelvic region. This is coming from someone who’s had an infected gallbladder and appendicitis. This pain is almost the same severity to me. No amount of medicine or heating pad, water, literally any home remedy has helped. My back absolutely kills in the lower region, if I stand for too long (5-10 minutes) my back and lower stomach begin to make it unbearable and I just have to lay down and curl up.

I bleed so so so much. And have a ton of clotting.

Also get very, very nauseous.

I guess it’s like typical period symptoms but worsened times 100. I’m so uncomfortable and would love to actually be a functioning human during my period. I’m just miserable and actually sick, anyone have anything to help me??? Anyone have any ideas why it’s so bad??? (I realize I can’t be diagnosed or anything over the Internet, I just want to know if anyone has had similar issues and what they did/if there was a cause for this extremity of it)
