Anyone here turn into anxious monster during ovulation phase?

I can't quite pinpoint why, but straight after my period ends I get the most intrusive thoughts, become self critical, insecure and over analyse everything. It is affecting my relationship with my bf. I have been with him for a year now and once a month, like clockwork I get insecure and judgy and doubt the relationship and get relationship anxiety to the point of wanting to end things with him- it affects my sleep which worsens things. I get irritated easily and have anxiety attacks frequently. It's not PMS, because it happens when I am ovulating- I hate it. Anyone else have the same?

Wanted to add that I self diagnosed myself with pmdd since it's been impossible to get an appt with a gp.
If anyone here has it, how do you combat it because I dread it so much every month

Yes this was definitely me. Lots of feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. Despite having tried previously with no success I am now on the pill and feel 100x better

Can I ask if you have had any side effects from the pill?like weight loss or gain and any joint pain?

No nothing like that. I had some random bleeds but that’s settled down now. No periods, no ovulation, nothing.
I tried to go back on the pill after having DC and it made me feel terrible so I was reluctant but I think now a few years have passed and my hormones have settled it’s just worked for me
