This can go out to any male as well, but for females, when you have your period, do you feel more suicidal at this time with the hormonal change in your body?
-
Yes, I have noticed that I do tend to become more emotionally unstable around that time and it does take a lot more to get me back to normal when I fall into those depressive, dark moods around that time. I'm more susceptible to just falling into those dark places and it's harder to get out of them.
-
I never feel suicidal but 5 days before my period until I start I suffer hot flashes, dizziness, and palpatations; I also like I want to be quiet but once it starts I'm good.
-
Yes. I get horribly depressed and more anxious than usual. I also think of how I'd like my life to just be over. Then after my period is over I no longer feel as bad. I get so down that it scares me the week before starting mine though.

Please read how to stop pms. It really helps, diet and nutrition have so much to do with female mental health

I do eat very healthy, because I never really likes junk food. It is the weirdest thing. It is like something comes over me, and if someone isn't with me at the time, my thoughts are very dangerous. I was sitting at a stop light, and the thought popped into my head that I wonder if a car would hit me if I took my foot off the brake, and put it on the gas, because I could not see the cross traffic. Thankfully, I shook it off because my daughter was in the car.

I hear i'm a different person when mine comes, I can sometimes be really down with myself and slip into a deep well where it's hard for anyone to pull me out off. I do wonder if I should change my diet.
-
yes i did. you can get a medication from the dr that you only take before your period that will help. my daughter takes something because she turns into "evil mommy" before her period.
-
It seems like mines is way worse before and during but once its over my anxiety lessens. I am still extremely awkward and anxious but only in my normal anxious way. Probably doesn't explain it very well but...ah you'd have to know me
-
My cycle definitely affects my emotions, though I tend more towards the anxiety side than depression. There was a point where I was fairly regular (I was tracking trying to determine just when and how my cycle worked because of a history of irregularity) that I noticed I felt worse around ovulation too.
I read a couple of books, one by Dr. John R. Lee, where I learned that excess estrogen and xeno-estrogens (in some foods, in beauty products, in our environment) can produce symptoms of depression.
-
I'm with hawwa_a , It doesnt effect depression but it SURE throws my anxiety into overdrive every time. Always worse at that time
-
I don't feel suicidal as such...but a week or even two weeks before my period I feel more anxious/depressed and well..a mess, which does cause me to wish I was dead.. I am looking into PMDD as I think I may also have that, maybe it's something you can look into?
