Yes I think they definitely make my depression worse

Yes, most definitely affects me. I started tracking and it’s plain to see.

Uterus-haver here, absolutely. Before my depo between the pain and the hormones my depression was absolutely affected. My obgyn says thats common. So youre not alone.

I’m going to track. It’s just just my PMS week but I wonder if it is always the same time each month. Thank you everyone

look into premenstrual dysphoric disorder if your hormones cause severe depressive symptoms before each period. this is something i used to have in high school that genuinely made me fear for my life each month. for me, birth control magically cured it by regulating my hormones for me. eventually i was able to stop taking birth control and my symptoms never returned. if before your period you feel extremely depressed, suicidal, have intrusive thoughs, erractic/impulsive behavior, etc, and it fades back to normal levels of depression within a week or two, definitely talk to your doctor.
