Which sucks because I was doing quite well... Really...I mean yes... I did hate myself yesterday....
BUT I have not had ANY suicidal thoughts for the longest time. I was carefree and happy and stressfree....
And now I feel dead.
Like a sloth. Unmotivated. I can't even do my homework anymore.
Life is pointless. Its pointless to try.
Everything is... blahhhh.
why?? I thought getting your period was suppose to make you COME out of a depression. Not go into one...
I also have a really bad cold so I'm going to use that as an excuse to go to bed early...
Goodnight guys.

My period always makes me feel like total crappola. I usually just try to sleep through the whole thing.

I can be doing well and then a few days before and during my period I become depressed. Mine usually takes a week to wear off - hormones! I've started to circle on my year planner when I start to feel rubbish, and have realised it's going to last only days. I actually feel better for knowing that and hopefully will be prepared for the next month!

Maybe write in your diary/calendar when you start feeling down and depressed, and see if there is a pattern. It might help to know that it only lasts a few days (or so). Exercise is supposed to help, so maybe go for a walk/jog or something else, which you enjoy doing. Reading may also help to take your mind off of things (not at the same time though, you might bump into something! ). <--- bad joke.

I know a really bad cold will not help matters though. Remember though that your cold will not last long either, and it'll be a matter of days before you're back to feeling well again.

I hope you feel better soon,

for some reason i always get in a huge fight with someone the day before mine starts ...im not sure ive ever heard that periods really change your depression ... rather that it makes you just go a bit faster on the track your already on ... if that makes sense ...
