Being on my period genuinely makes me feel like I’m going insane, I’m angry at everything all the time and so emotional. It’s just so different from how I normally am as a very rational and logical person

Not to be presumptuous but I didn’t know it was a thing until I had to self-diagnose: could it be PMDD (pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder)? I used to spend the week prior to bleeding with crazy intrusive thoughts and ideation, so now I’m just on hormonal BC forever. Probably wouldn’t have survived high school otherwise. If BC doesn’t work, you can also get antidepressants for it, apparently.

I’m not sure, I don’t feel like I’m going insane until about late day 1 or day 2 of my cycle. If I’m feeling off prior then it’s so little I don’t notice it. Also I’m on BC without estrogen right now and it’s like not helping

It can happen during, but idk if it would start after the cycle does. Sorry it’s doing that!! It’s such bullshit what we have to put up with
