Hello there, and welcome! I'm glad you are open to therapy, it definitely helps to have someone to talk to. And yeah, being on your period throws your hormones all out of balance which can lead to mood swings and sadness, which is hard when you're already feeling down because of depression. Honestly, I've never come across anything over the counter that calms my anxiety, there are natural remedies you can buy at health food stores though.While you're waiting for an appointment (I know how long that can take, ugh!) keep posting here, it really helps to know that you're not alone! You can always send me a private message, I also struggle from anxiety & depression so maybe I can help? Take care, and keep us posted!
