Perimenstrual Mood: Mood changes are common right before you have your period. The hormonal fluctuation that occurs with the loss of Progesterone can make you sad/mad/anxious or even send you into panic attacks. Solve the problem by stabilizing your hormones with oral contraceptive pills/implants/rings/injections.
