Periods and depression??

Question

Anyone else find that their depression/anxiety gets worse around their period? I just feel like I can't deal with anything right now. I've been in bed for 3 days ;(

Answer

PMS is definately real normally a week or 2 prior for me. How I put it is that it definately seems to heighten my emotions (including depression). So they are my actual feelings and emotions but I'm just more likely to express them (that is when I tend to cry the most often). I'm not saying I cry over every stupid little thing just I'm more likely to cry over bigger issues than I would be another time of the month. Also can be more likely to get angry with my bf I'm normally pretty good at knowing when I'm pmsing though and think my emotions through before actually projecting them.

Answer

Have you looked up pmdd? I have been realizing my depression and anxiety both get extremely bad during the same part of my cycle. Maybe look it up to see if it applies to you?

Answer

I'm exactly the same, about a week before my period my depression is always at its worse :(
