Yes I have it. I have had suicidal thoughts at the worst of it. Rn none of that but extreme apathy and disgust with everyone and everything

Yes look into something called PMDD or PMS (I believe this is the outdated term for it)

Basically a medical term/acronym to describe what you’re going through

please talk to your doctor about whether there are medication options for you. there are newer antidepressants that are not birth control that may help if you can’t/don’t want to explore bc options!

Sounds like PMDD, definitely mention it to your doctor or obgyn. I went on continuous birth control (no periods) for several years which helped, but also eventually needed a low dose ssri. There’s options! In the meantime just do your best to take care of yourself, eat well, exercise, get outside!
