Not sure this is the right place to post this, apologies.
It’s a time-of-the-month thing, I know, but there are usually 1-2 days a about a week before my period where I just feel miserable, sad, and sensitive. Today I’ve been crying on and off and trying to pass it off as a cold. I just want to hide on my sofa with a blanket and copious amount of tea. Genuinely considered telling work I was sick and going home early. Guaranteed I will feel normal again by Wednesday but at the moment my brain is just focusing on all the worst aspects of my life, my past, my regrets, all my failures. I have no energy and really really don’t want to talk to anyone.
I never used to get it this badly. Does anyone else have this? Is there anything I can do to make it less awful? I can’t take sick days every month because of PMS (although I wish I could!)
