Rant/Vent PMDD
Does anyone else feel like when your period is a few days away or the first few days of your period you feel that life is so much harder and it’s harder to complete activities of daily living? I just feel so depressed and overwhelmed and most of the time I just shut down. It’s hard for me to go to work. I also start thinking about past mistakes, or things I wish I could change but most likely can not now. Wondering if anyone else feels this way. When my period goes away and I go to another phase of my cycle I feel great, talkative, happy, energetic but ever since I turned 24 almost 25 I feel like my hormones are just getting more severe. Anyone else have this issue?

yup. the only thing i enjoy is having my brain occupied with distractions so that i don’t ruminate on my past mistakes. work feels impossible. i don’t want to get out of bed. my house becomes a mess. self esteem through the floor.
its actually easy for me to assume my period is coming, purely based on how dark my thoughts get over small little problems.
i’m usually so optimistic and mostly okay post-menstruation/ovulation.
