What people may feel

Some people notice mood changes, irritability, sadness, anxiety, tiredness, breast tenderness, spots, bloating or sleep changes before a period.

Patterns matter

Noticing when symptoms happen can help people understand whether symptoms follow a cycle pattern.

When support may help

If mood symptoms feel intense, frightening, or affect relationships, school, work or safety, it is important to speak to a trusted person or healthcare professional.

Be kind to yourself

Cycle-linked changes are real. Support, rest, practical planning and medical advice when needed can all help.
