I have PCOS and used to only have a period roughly every 120 days. Since having my now 1 year old son, I am like clockwork on every month. The issue is, for about a week before my period starts I feel so depressed. It took me a while to click on to this being linked to the period as I wasn't used to having them so often, some points it would be so bad I'd ring my GP to go back on antidepressants only to be ok again once my period had gone. My periods last about a week, I feel depressed for a week beforehand, so I'm spending 2 weeks a month feeling so horrifically depressed. Not wanting to shower, eat, spend time with my son. It's debilitating. My GP wants to put me on the pill, but I'm not keen as I was on it as a teenager and it made me severely depressed basically all the time. What can I do? I don't want to be sad all the time.
