Periods/lack of them = emotional mess?

[SchoolyardShizz]

My girlfriend is really down at the moment, she insists its nothing to do with us and that she has never not wanted to be in this relationship.

Her Brother is suffering from anxiety at the moment and I've witnessed the tears in her house.

Also, she has put on weight and has missed 2 periods (she's not pregnant, we are both women).

She said she's having a personal thing and that she just wants to carry on, she wont talk to me or admit that these problems are affecting our relationship.

She said she isn't in the right frame of mind to be able to reassure me right now but these problems have nothing to do with the relationship.

What can I do? I feel like I'm going mad, I don't know how to help pr resolve things. Her texts are just short and when we saw eachother last weekend we bickered the whole time (not unusual when one of us has PMT). Relationship is only 9 months old

Would just like to add - I can't see that she's put on weight, this information is coming from her

Skipped periods and weight gain - has she considered PCOS?

Even if it's not that she might have something else going wrong with her hormones.

Just becasue you are both female doesn't mean she isn't pregnant.
Are you together 24/7?
Other than that - she needs to visit her GP to find out what might be happening?
It could be all sorts of things so whe needs to find out.
I hope it all gets resolved.

She wont go to the doctor :(

@hellsbells ok then, we are not trying for a baby in any way and she isn't a cheat lol

I was wondering about PCOS or suchlike too (I have it) - it could be that it would help her to know it might be a common problem, which does have solutions (whether she chooses to go to the GP or not) - missing periods isn't weird.

That's the easier part - how you support her through a difficult time with her family is harder.

Is this the same girlfriend that was treating you abysmally, blowing hot and cold and made you so miserable you couldn't eat for days? You get treated to chronic bickering but choose to blame PMT (bit lame....) And now her brother is anxious & you're supposed to be resolving her problems? (Or the whole family's problems?) Nine months into a relationship it's meant to be fun and frolics - the honeymoon period - whereas this sounds like one of the more harrowing episodes of East Enders.

You owe this person nothing. Why keep going back for more punishment? And don't say 'love'....
