Do you ever feel more depressed when on your period?
I feel that way a lot more lately. And struggle to do anything when it comes up. Times I don’t even want to go to work. |

I would recommend use of supplements (especially vit B complex and vit D) while you are on your period at least. It helps me n I can get really emotional when on my period. __________________ Life is not measured by the amount of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away |

Yes. It's also called pmdd, or premenstrual dysphoric disorder. I have it and often get very depressed around that time.

Yes
 I'm seeing my OBGYN to try and find a birth control that will help with that in addition to my regular depression pills. Because with just the depression stuff I do okay, UNTIL I PMS and then it's awful. My depression actually first started as just a "night before my period" thing, which was why I didn't tell anyone for a long long time (I didn't want them to say it was just my hormones or whatever); then we thought it might be the period-specific depression that was mentioned in another comment. Now we know that it's only major depressive disorder that is just triggered by PMS. But yeah, in that way, being a woman sucks. Honestly besides birth control, nothing has really helped, except taking mental health days every month, which I know isn't super practical for most people.... |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
