I’m a 22 year-old female, and just over a month ago, I started having serious mood swings, depression, fairly low sex drive, and anxiety. Then, a few weeks later, I got my period which was a little heavier than normal, and shorter than normal. I’ve notice that my antiperspirant is no longer working, and some days it’s so bad that I’ll have to shower twice (just from normal activity, i.e. walking to class). I’ve been seeing a therapist, and while he doesn’t know about my physical problems, he’s attributed my emotional issues to the fact that I’m graduating college and approaching my 2 year anniversary with my boyfriend blah blah blah.
My mood swings lightened up for a few days, but were still present, along with random anxiety attacks and occasional nausea. My boyfriend was worried, and asked me to take a pregnancy test, which was negative.
My boobs seem a little bigger, and have been sore since my last period, without relief. I also feel a couple pounds heavier.
Yesterday, I got my period AGAIN, about a week and a half too early (this never happens, my periods are normally late!)
Has anyone had any similar symptoms? I was wondering if it could be PCOS because a few years ago I stopped menstruating for a period of about 4 months, but I doubt it, since I’m only 120lbs.
I’m so confused. Is this all in my head? I feel like I’m going nuts, and I feel terrible putting my bf through this. It’s like I’m a different person sometimes.

For the past year I have been having anxiety attacks, because everything is stressing me out these days – school, dancing, etc. I’ll try not to go on about it, but I think it will help if I describe these anxiety attacks. I have dancing a few days every week. One of those days is Thursday. So during the day at school i’ll be fine, but this bad feeling will always be at the back of my mind and it creeps ever closer as the day goes on. I have dancing STRAIGHT after school, so by the time it’s last period, I start having an anxiety attack. There are two types. I may have either one.
#1= Paralyzing stomach pain. *Extreme* dread.
#2= Really really anxious and scared. Jumpy. Freaking out. Can not stay still at all. And I cannot stop talking.
This always happens… I’m just so scared that we’ll do something that I can’t do (or am not good at) (at dancing). That is a huge fear for me. I also get anxiety attacks about school if I have been away for long enough. Like I always have a minor attack after the 2 week holidays, but I am having a more major one right now because it is the end of the 6 week holidays. I have been away from school for 8 weeks however, as I got really really sick last year. It’s Wednesday, 2PM and I have school on Friday. I am FREAKING OUT. I’m so jumpy. And I’m freaking out even more because I have dancing TOMORROW after a 6-week break. How can I stop my anxiety attack? Just breathing slowly does not work! Help!
Sometimes it gets so bad that I get physically sick (which is what happened at the end of last year).
I can’t see anyone because I can’t afford that sort of thing and my parents think i just need to relax..
