Major PMT/depression

[couchparsnip]

I'm on Evorel patches and have been for about a year and my periods have all but stopped - it has been about a year. Until a week ago when I got the heaviest period I have had in a long time. I've always been a bit anxious with PMT but this time I got a full on panic attack and couldn't work. I am still reeling from it, still bleeding, although less heavy now and have an ongoing deep fear that I'm inadequate, can't do my job and or make a sensible decision. I'm honestly feeling like I might be depressed as I've had some thoughts of running away or ending it, which is not like me at all.
Is it normal to be in your head quite so much? Should I tell my Doctor? Should I tell work anything? Can anyone reassure me that it's just hormonal?

Have you experienced depression before like in your teenage years, early 20s or any phase in life? As for me, I had those and when life gets hard, I feel as though I'm confronted by those past worries that I have long made peace with. I won't say it's just hormones but the best thing you can do is tell everything you are feeling now to your doctor so you will have proper assessment with your condition. Virtual hugs.
