Why do I feel so depressed before my period?

It's all hormones girl! Every girl has different reactions to the burst of chemicals into our brains so this is just what happens to you. I have a friend who has something called Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) which might be an explanation if your depression is severe. It might sound scary but I promise you it's nothing but a fancy-schmancy name for feeling very depressed before your period.

I think this is something a lot of woman experience! My guess would be that it has something to do with fluctuating hormones!

Its a girl thing, i'm sure every girl for the most part feels depressed before their period starts.

The hormones involved when you're having your period or just before can trigger a whirlwind of emotions and one of those can cause the feeling of intense sadness. It is entirely normal but if you feel the sadness no longer lifts after your period, you may be falling into depression that's not caused by hormonal activity, in which you should see a doctor about.

That's because of your Pre menstrual syndrome. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) refers to physical and emotional symptoms that occur in the one to two weeks before a woman's period. Symptoms often vary between women and resolve around the start of bleeding. Common symptoms include acne, tender breasts, bloating, feeling tired, irritability, and mood changes. Often symptoms are present for around six days. A woman's pattern of symptoms may change over time.[

It's normal to have the blues or feel sick before and during a period. As hormone levels rise and fall during a girl's menstrual cycle, it can affect the way she feels, both physically and emotionally. This is known as premenstrual syndrome, or PMS, and it can make a girl feel like hiding in bed with the covers over her head.

it's a very common condition for most female before their period. it's a hormonal change. talk with someone about your feeling.

i reach my period very irregularly but whenever i reach it, i suffer incredibly bad mood swings and I get very annoyed very easily, and it sucks because i take it out on people and I feel really bad about it after I've calmed down.

You feel depressed before your period because hormones are being released into your body with makes you feel many different types of emotions.

Sometimes your hormones go a little crazy right before a period. Maybe try to go out with some friends or maybe even eat one of your favorite meals!!! That should sure boose your attitude! :-)
