I feel like a zombie a week before my period starts

And I literally can’t function. I am so exhausted, it’s like that pregnancy fatigue where you feel heavy and weak, it’s just such effort to do anything ! Does anyone else get like this BEFORE their period starts ?

Yes I feel like this in the 2 or 3 days before it starts. I sleep much more heavily and feel heavy and lethargic. I’m guessing it’s probably quite common.

Yes! LIke I have the flu/been hit by a bus! Last week I was falling asleep in my lunch break - I was diagnosed with PMDD last year. Ironically it's better then it was (HRT) because for a week before there were times I couldn't get out of bed!

Google PMDD - I thought it was just something that affected my mental health, but the physical symptoms are awful too!
