It's a known fact women get emotional around our periods. But I have noticed I get emotional for a few days about mid cycle, right when I should be ovulating.

Its slightly different though. I am not more likely to be short tempered and agitated. I am likely to feel lonely and get depressed and weepy about my lack of a relationship.

It makes sense biologically that the loneliness and longing for physical contact would increase at the point of ovulation, but no one ever acknowledges this, I guess because there is no bloody evidence of what is going on inside and people just chalk it up to women being crazy.

I'm not the only one am I? Do other woman get depressed and lonely mid cycle too?

I do notice a difference with me mid cycle.

I have more a tendency to get very hyperactive though.

I think my meds don't work a certain times of the month.

When I had cycles I would have a panic attack in bed at midnight exactly ten days before each period onset.

Yah, ive noticed a tiny bit of cramping, and a good amount of lonely moods mid cycle, as well as around my period.

You know I think I might actually feel worse at ovulation than during my period, emotionally. I might have a short temper during my period, but chocolate and pain killers help a lot. But mid cycle I just get so very lonely and depressed and there is nothing I can do about it .
