I recently have noticed a few changes in how I feel when I am approaching my monthly curse.I get fatigued,depressed,kind sick to my stomach,irritable,and can cry on a whim. In the past few months it seems the symptoms have worsened however. I have become anxious and unable to sleep during my period. I also feel out of control and confused throughout most of it.I have looked up a few causes and do intend to go to a doctor concerning it soon. In your opinion what can be causing these increasing symptoms. I do not take any medications daily and have not been diagnosed with anything like PMS so far.It is however becoming a problem for me to function during this time of the month.Can Stress alone cause these changes?

is it only during that time of the month? i struggle with depression- it is a family thing- and it's very, very much like what you describe. it obviously seems worse during that time because my hormones and emotions are going crazy then as it is, and topped with the depression, it just seems way worse! just another thing to consider. but it could definitely be stress as well. good luck and make sure you talk to your doctor! :)

It only happens around my period.I feel really nuts when I am on my cycle and it is sometimes scary lol I first thought maybe it was fatigue and I looked up my symptoms and honestly PMS fits the bill for it. I have been pregnant before and it was discovered I do not produce enough progestrone, I am curious if this plays any role in the cause of PMS.

Yes stress can cause all these problems to casue stress affects all parts of your life and will wear you down. It can be pms to but stress will do all this and much more if you can't find a way to cope with it. I know this is hard to do and worse if you are stressed and then sick making you more stressed . Talk to your doctor and they may be able to do something for you. Good luck
