Hi, I'm on the mini pill so that stops the menapores effects , it's just I started with depression and having a bad time when I started my periods at 17 years. Now I'm 45 I just can't control and feel so bad exspaecilly when period times it is something a lot more than depression/anxtiey I just can't put in to words how horrific I feel, xx

Hi, It doesn't sound like the menopause but at the age you are you certainly could be getting that way. I know as I got older I felt bad at period time just as you do. I got awful PMT which made me feel terrible and depressed. It may be worth discussing that you feel ill at period time with your GP as he/she could give you something to help you through that or arrange for tests to ensure that all is well in that area. Severe PMT is debilitating and if you are suffering with that each month you need to get treatment. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon. x
