Mood Swings before period

General/Advice

Hi, so I’ve been dealing with PCOS for a while, and I just wanted to share what frustrated me the most to know if someone else goes through this and if so what helped or how do you deal with it.

So, basically I get horrible PMS, and my mood shifts before my period but the most frustrating part is, that it doesn’t get better until I get my period and I never know if that’s gonna be late for 3 days or 3 weeks. So while it’s late (because atp I don’t even know what normal is) I’m just in a horrible mood, I get so so sad, I even get suicidal ideation sometimes.

I hate going through this because it messes up my plans, for example this month I had planned to plan a photoshoot (something for a project im working on), find props, locations, etc But my “PMS” started and basically ruined the vibe, my motivation disappeared, I feel ugly, and sad.

I hate just waiting for it to be over because in the end that happens every month and it lasts from 1 to 3 weeks. I hate depending so much on the 1 week I’m “normal”.

Please let me know if this happens to you!
