There are multiple hormones present before the start of your period. These hormones can often cause unwanted mood changes.

Hormonal changes can wreck havoc with your emotions. I distinctly remember how angry and negative I used to become. Not only could I not get along with anyone else, I couldn't get along with myself!

This can be a result of Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), which is a condition in which a woman has severe depression symptoms, irritability, and tension before menstruation. If you think you have this, it's worth looking into it deeper and see what you could do to eliminate it!

Mostly hormones, or the anticipation of pain and discomfort. It's a normal thing, and I regularly experience it myself. Chat to someone and cuddle with a blanket and a buddy to make yourself feel better!

Hormonal imbalances. Your hormones have to increase for you to be able to carry a baby and can make you emotional.

Sometimes, especially right before your period, the hormones in your mind are a bit unbalanced. This can lead to some mild depression and anxiety. However, not all hope it lost! The fact that you can recognize when this occurs and how you are affected by it shows that you have already taken the first step to managing it!
