Every month towards the end of my period, I wake up with anxiety and depressionand cry for a few days,

(also have developed a rash like I did in withdrawal) I feel like Iam losing my mind, I don't know how to put up with this.  It feels for those days like it did when I was withdrawaling from klonopin, which is a horrible thing to go through. Anyone else out there that have dealt with a drug liek klonopin and then enter perimenopause and have these syptoms?

I attached a photo of the rash which has spread some now.
