Recently I've noticed changes in my PMS symptoms. I've started feeling intense paranoia, really low mood and anxiety a couple of days before my period. Specifically, I get strangely hyper-concerned about womens' issues like breast cancer - even though I'm 20 and have no family history of the condition so aren't exactly high risk. Of course when I'm due on I have breast pain and swelling anyway so that doesn't help the anxiety.
I'm becoming super tired too, I slept in till gone 11am when I'm usually out of bed by 7am. Plus when I actually start bleeding, I feel nauseous and like I'm going to pass out. Couldn't even make it to the front door to go grocery shopping today.
Is all this anxiety and exhaustion 'normal'? It's really stressing me out. This has only happened my last couple of cycles, before then I had a regular period with minimal PMS and relatively mild cramps/nausea/headaches.
Sorry if I'm over-reacting! Just need an external opinion.
