Hey there,

First of all welcome to TeenHelp! Don't be nervous, we're lovely here
It's pretty normal for women to feel down leading up to and during their period, your hormones levels are rising and falling which is known as premenstrual syndrome.

There are things will help to ease these symptoms such as eating a balanced diet with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables,cutting back on processed foods. Also reducing the amount of salt in your diet and drink plenty of water and less caffeine.Make sure that you get plenty of sleep at night. These will help a bit but getting cramps and feeling generally down is usually pretty normal.

If you are finding it too much or have problems perhaps talk to your doctor and see if they can help at all.

I hope this helps,
Charli
