Thanks everyone for the answers.

I'm not on birth control or any pills (I rarely take any medication at all actually) to control my period it just naturally comes every few months. My mom said hers was like that and a few of my aunt's were spread out as well when they were younger but eventually they became more regular (which sounds terrible. x.x)

I thought getting a hysterectomy sounded really brilliant at first but there are obviously downsides to that as well (including the bit about having to have a kid/be a certain age). I don't plan on having kids ever and I always thought if I did end up changing my mind why make one when I can adopt one and give it a better life.

It is really nice to hear that I'm not alone with the terrible feelings (although I'm sorry for those of you who feel like rubbish along with me during it because it's terrible.)

I guess I should set up an appointment with my doctor then and decide how to proceed from there. Thanks again. (:
