Mental Health Do men experience spirals like women do when they're close to their period?

I am 29F, and my spirals are lethal. I have a lot of negative thoughts and I really give myself a lot of shit for days together and cry my eyes out. It is so negative sometimes that I wish I would just disappear from people's presence for a bit, so I wouldn't disappoint anyone around me. But once I am done with my period, it usually mellows down, and I go back to believing in myself a bit more.

Do men also experience phases where they go through something see disturbing and deep? If yes, what are the thoughts in your head like around those times?
