Hello, a man of 21. For several years I have been observing changes in my mood, which occur at the beginning of each month for about 5-6 days. I lose all interests, I can't have a normal conversation with anyone, I have no appetite, I get annoyed with my girlfriend for no reason, I can't stand between people or walk in the center, I have the feeling that everyone is watching me and everyone moment someone will start making fun of me. I gave up the gym for this very reason, I lost interest in many things - I played football, went fishing ... Recently, quarrels with my girlfriend have become more frequent ... everything is a nightmare. Interestingly, in the summer I worked as a bartender and then I did not have such problems and unexplained mood swings. I'm a student at the moment and I can't combine studying and working at the same time ... I'm not an outsider or anything like that, I have a lot of friends - we go out, we get drunk - everything is normal, just at the beginning of each month I am "depressed" for about 1 week (according to my observations) ... Has anyone had similar problems? How are you doing? I ASK A MODERATOR TO APPROVE MY HISTORY! THANKS!

Is it weird that it always happens at the beginning of the month? What is the reason for this to happen then? Otherwise, you look like a classic depression.
In women, there are such mood swings every month for a week due to hormonal changes, so I think you probably have some kind of hormonal imbalance. Check your hormones, especially the thyroid gland and females - men also have them and are sometimes above normal, especially if you eat soy products or phytoestrogens in general. This doesn't sound good with drinking either. Alcohol sooner or later leads to personality change and depression.
The cycle is called ...
Stop drinking, alcohol makes you depressed. You can read on the subject there is a lot of information on the Internet.
And I will soon turn 21, I am a girl, I think it is the age we are in. Now is the moment when we face the world alone. The last year was quite complicated and difficult for me and confused and sad ... We seem to be growing up. The solution for me is to do things that I feel good about myself. I don't drink or smoke that much anymore, I study and do the things that are interesting to me and bring me pleasure, and so on. It's all right, you're not wrong, even this depression ... so what. Maybe she even suggests a new path. Good luck ;)
I would advise you to go to a psychologist. The way you describe it can be just part of your character, something momentary or severe depression (or other mental disorder). Many people nowadays struggle with various mental illnesses and there is nothing shameful in consulting a specialist while you feel discomfort in the beginning.
Hello, it's called premenstrual syndrome. EVERY WOMAN has such a week in the month! Next time, before arguing with your girlfriend, remember this
