This period has been ROUGH. I’ve been having to stop myself from snapping or crying. I feel like I’m…

I was dealing with something similar, I would just cry out of no were. A big wave of depression would hit me after stress would build up to high and I struggled with feeling worthless and as I was doing nothing with my life. (Life progression depression) as some call it.

I was never diagnosed or treated for it but I was eventually able to get past it.

If your not TTC, birth control pills worked for me to help me feel more balanced. It regulated my periods and I never really got cramps.

The emotional aspect of it, it’s just a matter of finding things to keep your mind busy or think of small obtainable short term goals each week. Aside from any long term goals you may have.

Having those little goals and something to look forward to really helps in my opinion.

I don’t have any friends irl anymore. They are all either to busy, moved away or got childish and I don’t talk to them anymore.

I’ve never really had support or anyone to talk to before I got onto this app at the beginning of my pregnancy.

I know how it can be to feel suffocated with an over welming feeling to where u just want to scream or cry.

Or feeling like there’s no one to turn to..

I’m here if you ever need to chat. Sorry I don’t have any experience with the other side of it as far as medicine to help. Hopefully someone who has comments too.

Dammn I typed a lot 😂😂

Birth control helps me . I have the worse mood swings right before and during .

@colorfuldreams, thank you for being really descriptive! That’s exactly what I’m feeling right before and during my period. It was never like this for me. It recently started after having babies. :( where do you live?

@jaidenally, which one are you on?

@mumstasin, Your very welcome, I try 😅

Most doctors say that would be postpartum depression. My doctor said it can happen anytime, early or late. She’s had patients who got it after their child was 1 years old.

The birth control I take is Contelle or something like that. It starts with a C.

I use the pill because I don’t want arm implant or the one that goes in you 😰

I live in the Bay Area 1 hour to 40 min away from SF.

@colorfuldreams, yes I was diagnosed with pp depression, but I only feel like this right before my period and during my period. So I find it odd!

@mumstasin, Period hormones could just be hitting you hard.

I would defiantly try the birth control pill and see if that helps.
