1000% yes! The only positive to come from it is that after living with it for so long, I can now recognise when it is hormone-induced. This allows for a lot more harmony with my partner, while still giving me space to be feral.
Oh yes. I’m either super messy stressy depressy or I have a target on my back and the universe hates me. There’s never a middle ground. Its a wild ride.
I don’t have periods anymore, but when I did I felt like a whole different person the 1-3 days before my period. I already have depression, but during those days I’d get so depressed that at times I even became passively suicidal. Then the first day of my period it’s like a flip switched and I was back to my normal self. Thankfully in college I was able to recognize the sudden depression as a sign I was about to start, but it was scary for awhile. Fucking hated it.

Without medication my mood plummets straight into hell, my therapist is actually testing me for PMDD. 🫩
For me, it’s the week before my period, but yes, it absolutely impacts my mood.
