Is anxiety a PMS symptom?

I had been on contraception for 10+years, and have recently come off and gone au naturale. Coming up for my third "real" period and for the second month in a row I am noticing that about a week before, I seem to be unnecessarily anxious about stupid things. I don't suffer from MH or anxiety issues btw. I am noticing a pattern of around 7 days before I am due that I am overthinking/over-analysing things like when my DP puts one less "x" at the end of texts, friends not responding to messages etc and just generally feeling a bit needy/sad/emotional. Total silliness and not like me at all but gee whizz, its a horrible feeling! Spent all day yesterday with a big trembly lip for nothing at all! I've never heard of this being a PMS-related symptom. Does anyone else suffer from it or am I creating chaos in my own mind? I should add that last month, I had it for around 5/6 days in run up to period and then I was like "wtf was all that about?!" and back to normal. Would hate this to be a monthly thing I need to dread.... Confused
