Matilda,
I used to get the same thing. Right before my period I would be very anxious and feel sorry for myself. It has something to do with a fluctuation in hormones prior to and during menstruation. You may want to try birth control pills, which do a good job of controlling PMS. It might also be a good idea to have your hormones/thyroid checked to see if there are any problems there. Are you only depressed during "that time of the month"?
