I feel like that too. And i get mine twice a month. I feel your pain

Absolutely your hormones are causing your anxiety and depression. This is a hormonal problem, not a psychiatric one.

If you seek help, see an M.D. who understands that. It explains all of your symptoms, even the worse OCD.

When I was your age no one had heard of antidepressants let alone PMS. I suffered a lot with male doctors who thought I was a basket case.

You know it's your period because the symptoms disappear when it starts, especially anger and depression and your OCD eases because your anxiety eases.

You need to see a reproductive endocrinologist. You need to be checked out physically too, if the pain worsens over time. I don't want to scare you but pain can be early signs of endometriosis. Mine started in my 20s. Maybe for you, the sooner it or other physical things are caught the better the chances of having normal functioning reproductive system when you need it. I never could have kids, and I blame the chauvinistic doctors who kept insisting for years that it was all psychological even when i was doubled over in pain half the month. Just because i was depressed.

Finally, a reproductive endocrinologist found that I was bleeding internally and had fibroids, endometriosis and everything you can think of EXCEPT cancer.

The important thing to remember is that period malfunctions manifest in BOTH physical and emotional symptoms.
And it's ALL caused by your cycle.

I noticed i get more severely depressed and anxious around my period, it sux i can relate sometimes being a woman is not so hot but can be at the same time. Ur not alone

Yes. I feel 25x worse when I'm on my period and have been that way for years. I absolutely hate being female because of my period. I don't see the need or the purpose and no one can explain it to me to any point of satisfaction. I don't need the cramps, the blood flow, the irritability, the uncomfortableness of trying to sleep at night, nor the fear of getting up and down because every time I move, I bleed.

Yes!!! I hate my period. And, I love the title of your post, "Fuck periods". Yes!! We need more women to stand up and say periods are not fun. I no longer want to hear how we should just deal with it. It is a part of life that needs to be talked about and not suppressed.

I feel 100× worst during my cycle. At times my thoughts are more extreme than usual, which causes me to become very emotional.
