I've noticed it's become a monthly trend now. Each month becomes more difficult to cope than the last.

I feel low, hopeless unworthy and burst into tears.

Does anyone else feel this way?
How do you cope?

Thank you for reading.
I struggle as well before my period, except I'm usually the worst about a week before it starts. There's actually a syndrome caused premenstrual dysphoric disorder that's essentially PMS times a million. Google it. They treat it with SSRIs for the two weeks before menstruation or certain birth control pills (Yaz, Yasmin, that whole family). Talk to your prescribing doc about it. It's definitely a real thing.
Thanks for this!
