Yes - my periods used to be a non-issue but now they vary widely and some come with some very whacky emotions.
However, I do wonder if maybe some of what you are experiencing is more about anxiety? Could you have had a panic attack? Sometimes peri-menopausal changes can bring about anxiey issues. I could be off base but a great deal has happened. Don't look for zebras when the world is full of horses (a med school saying).
