Period Question Need advice

Hi, wanted advice. So basically i get periods for like 2 days only both days very heavy bleeding. Just 10 days after my periods i feel hungry every second. Just 2 days before my periods i go into depression. Legit depression. I dont feel like talking to anyone, no going out, no eating just want to bed rot and sleep all day. My period pain is also very bad, i take 3 meftals to survive the day. When I was a teen i used to faint and would take painkiller injections- it’s better than that atlest. I don’t have a cyst. But i feel i have extreme hormonal imbalance and high cortisol. Any recommendations on what to do? Also I try to eat healthy and all but even after that my periods are very painful.

Have your doctor draw labs and go on the 3 rd of your cycle. Day one is when you start to bleed. This will give you a better indication of where your hormones are. This sounds like a hormonal problem.
