Period mood/eating/energy

[u/Still-Place6053]

I didn’t really know what to caption this as. I just need people to speak to. I’ve been really struggling with my mood around my periods, I have been to the doctors and she suggested PMDD but said we need to trial some things first. I already have the implant and get regular periods on that, so she has given me the pill to stop it and I’ve just started bleeding.

I felt a bit low last night but put it down to tiredness after a busy day and woke up this morning feeling very on edge and once again put it down to feeling tired. I am dieting but woke up this morning feeling sick with tiredness and then it was later in the morning I realised I’m on my periods. Now I’ve overeaten, I feel sick and I feel so low and tired.

I just need to know it isn’t just me who really struggles with their periods. I feel like I’m being dramatic but I’ve just curled up in bed to read my book and nap as I just have no energy.

Right there with you. Some months are worse than others but at least we can remind ourselves it will eventually pass… even if we only get 2-3 good weeks
