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.
