Why do I feel so depressed before my period?

Before your period, your hormone level drops significantly, making you feel more depressed before your period actually begins.

Period is when a women goes through hormonal and physical changes. When the hormonal changes are in progress so comes the mood swings.

Because of your hormones going all over the place, it isn't uncommon to feel sad before your period. It's also possible that you may have PMDD, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, which is like situational depression that centers around your period. You could talk to your doctor about this disorder and treatments. On your own, you could try exercising, yoga, hot tea or other relaxing activities that release those feel-good endorphins.

A lot of girls experience this , including me :) I have been told that it is a chemical imbalance in the brain and something to do with the hormones :) google it for more information.

I feel depressed before my period because of my hormones. I have always been like that. I will always be like that but all I have to do is eat ice cream and ill be fine.

it's a hormone balance. promise, i get it wayyyyyyyyy to ofen! get some chocolate and drink some hot tea and run a bath, (:

Most likely because of hormonal changes. I am not a doctor, however that would be my best guess. If you are grossly concerned about it, talk with your doctor as soon as you can.

The hormones that are released into your body before/during your period affect everyone differently. A very common one is depression. Just try and remember that it is just the hormones thinking!

Your body releases a lot of hormones before and during your time of the month and can lead to you feeling depressed.

To be honest the average answer is mostly that your hormones mess with you. It's a time of change - your body has got so much to do so you'll stay ok! But moreover I'd say that all the insecurities that come along with that drag us down as well. Feeling uncomfortable in your own body since you could say there's something "dying" inside. And the fear that someone might notice that (smell, stains, etc.). Mostly you can say good-bye to your pure skin over that time, too, so you don't feel like going out at all which can put you down horribly.

Hormones are at a peak usually a couple of days up to a week before your period. The reason why you're depressed could be because of your general feelings towards having your period whether it's because of cramps, how long you have it or just disliking it in general. There's also a biological factor as I said before of your hormones being more active than usual as your body goes through a cleansing cycle. It's normal to go through mood swings leading up to your period as well. I go through the same thing and become angry, withdrawn and can't find the good in anything. A part of it is because I hate getting my period because of how intense my cramps get and I don't want to deal with it although I do like getting my period because it means I'm not pregnant. It could all be your mindset. Next time you get your period, try to be "ok" with it. Accept that it's coming and don't let it get you down and see if anything changes.

Hormone changes occur during this time before periods, Sometimes it may be useful to notice the feelings you are having and keep a diary, You may notice a timeframe that these feelings occur more, its ok to take time to yourself and do things that show self-care and love.

Hormones usually affect our normal behavior, so we may feel depressed and not having much hunger. It's very usual, but everything is going to be alright.

On one hand in body everything is opening to enable to blood comes out so as body so the soul. Lots of our emotional hidden feeling flow out as well and that makes us to have less power to resist that we actually feel them. it is the best way when to deal with shadows and face the issues. Accept the time to work on our self and make best of it. In a very far past womans what had period get away from group to spend time alone. Do not get angry on it - sink in.

I have little experience with this personally, but I know many who suffer from depression at the end of their cycle, as you do. Hormones play a part, but more so, the social stigma associated with femininity and female bodies may be a factor. We are taught to hide our menstruation, to be ashamed of it, to be repulsed by it. Don't let these toxic messages take up room in your head.

Your body is going through changes. Hormones are every which way. If its extremely I would talk to my family Dr.

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a condition in which a woman has severe depression symptoms, irritability, and tension before menstruation. The symptoms of PMDD are more severe than those seen with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). PMS refers to a wide range of physical or emotional symptoms that typically occur about 5 to 11 days before a woman starts her monthly menstrual cycle. The symptoms usually stop when, or shortly after, her period begins.

It is the scientifically proven that , its the one of the symptom that ur on the phase of period, so it is natural ,

I'm a male so I don't have periods. If you mean period to be defined as the monthly shading of the uterine wall for reproduction... you should ask this question to women only.

It's normal, don't worry. A part of you it's changed, Maybe you feel depression because your body it's growing up.
