<s>[INST] I am a 49 year old woman. I was under alot I stress about 2 - 3 months ago and during that time I started my period. During that cycle it was a very very heavy flow. There was no discomfort, no different than any other period. But the period didnt completely stop. When the stress eased up so did the amount of flow. Now it may be just a couple minutes a day. When I m home and relaxing there is no flow 95% of the time. When I get a little stressed I bleed again not heavy but enough to have to wear a pad and unfortunately I have to wear one 24/7 because I don t know when it s going to happen. What can this be? [/INST] Hello, You have depressive symptoms along with most probably thyroid problem (as it is commonly linked with both depression and periods).  Chat Doctor. Apart from the meds-get your blood tests for: thyroid levels; it B12, and It D. Treat them if found disturbed and that will help in both psychological and bodily symptoms. Also, get PAP Smear done to rule out any other cause for recurrent and constant bleeding. It is necessary in your age and also due to your symptoms. Please don't worry but start the meds SND get the test. This will definitely help you. Good luck. </s>
