hey i deal with this too and it’s definitely not normal (a bit of depression is but not this extreme). a year ago i LITERALLY institutionalized myself because it got to such a dark place that wasnt my usual. i’m going back on birth control to not have this happen again

look into PMDD! it’s worth having a talk with your doctor about

i do have diagnosed depression as well but i have no doubt it was this bad today because of my hormones. i’m on birth control for horrible periods, do you know what else a gynecologist would recommend?

honestly i’m not sure other than asking you if you’ve seen a therapist/psychiatrist like mine asked me (i see both and am on meds)
