PMT and feeling more socially isolated?

Post Reply New Topic

For the last few days I have been fighting a random depression, like feeling useless, isolated and stupid. I've been wallowing in this horrible emotion all week, just getting angry at myself for being shy at work. Things are getting to me that don't usually get to me, like how I've never been clubbing in my life, how socially awkward people seem to have more friends than me, and just silly little things like that. Being on antidepressants helps me not get so worked up about these things, but this week the depression and self-loathing has won. I'm hoping it's PMT.

Do other girls here sometimes feel all out of place and depressed and strange before/during your period? I think I've had this before but I don't like feeling like this. Thankfully I don't get like this every month.

I'm maybe not the sort of person what you are looking for. But I have a higher chance of getting depressed after every half year of school. Mostly during winter november-march. Because of this I dropped out of school twice and now I have the threat of dropping out this year and I can't afford that because I don't have an education. So I think I get what you are going through. I am socially awkward aswell. I don't have any friends a part from my two fathers, mother and siblings. What things do you enjoy doing? A passion or motivation can help with finding more meaning in your life. I personally like art, chess, Hebrew history and literature, and my Father in heaven.

I enjoy writing stories. But even that's not as easy as it sounds, because I keep changing my mind about the characters and it's difficult to actually get the story completed without keep changing the characters. When I write a story the characters have to have a personality, an image and an age. Also I have to imagine what their house looks like. I need a mental picture of all the characters and their environment before starting to write.

I have the same problem when it comes to drawing. When I start doing my definitive work I see that I miss a lot of skills and can't get my idea on paper and get very frustrated because of this.

Yeah, PMT is so common. It's just hormones though, turns us into wild beasts. Kinda like being a werewolf without all the fur, well.. unless you have a legbeard lol. I have PMDD so I legit turn into a crazy person for a few days every month. It's NOT fun and I have the most irrational thoughts.

The worst thing I think you can do is believe the depressive thoughts and irrational crazyness if you get that, just breathe, step back and tell yourself it's just the hormones. Doesn't stop me from wanting to unleash the fury in a murderous rampage though. Exercise helps just before the period, like tons.

I usually watch really sad Korean dramas when I'm on my period tho, just to unleash the massive amount of emotions, bawling your eyes out every now and then can be healthy, gets it out of your system.

Hope that brings some consolation.

I am OK now. Just for about 5 days last week I was feeling all sorry for myself, and self-loathing and getting all worked up about things that I needn't worry about, like who's got more drunk than who and the fact that I've never been drunk in my life, or who's got more friends on Facebook than me, silly things like that. But those feelings soon passed. So yeah it most probably was PMT. It went about 3 days before my period started. But I don't get PMT every month.
