    Hi, I used to struggle with this when I was younger. Found that I didn't really have consistent periods though and went on the pill which seemed to put things in check a bit or at least allow me to better prepare for the low moods as I knew when to expect them. Hope this helps.

    i do, every single time am either close to it coming or a few days before, its annoying because i dont know what to do other than lay in bed and cry, my anxiety acts up worst as well and i suffer with IBS and i notice i can eat anything but as soon as my period is close my IBS automatically acts up, am glad am not alone, am trying to learn to ignore the symptoms but when the feelings hits me hard its hard to ignore
