Yes, feeling more emotional or crying more easily before your period is common. If it feels overwhelming or regularly gets in the way of daily life, it’s worth talking with a healthcare professional.

Hormone changes before your period can make emotions feel closer to the surface, so things that usually wouldn’t get to you may suddenly bring on tears. This can be part of PMS, and plenty of people notice a predictable dip in their mood before their period.
