Jess, I'm a guy, and I want to tell you there is NOTHING gross or wrong about talking about your period. It's a natural bodily function that sometimes effects mood. Any guy who is uncomfortable with it? That's THEIR problem, not yours. You do not have to apologize for "grossing them out" when there is nothing gross about it.
What kills me about so many guys being all "TMI!" about this is most males are very loud and talkative about their own bodily functions. If they weren't, I'd take their cries for propriety a little more seriously. While they do the loud routines about farts, shit, jizz, and piss they do, you can safely ignore them and talk about what you need to.
I hope you feel better. But more I hope you understand you are allowed to feel sad sometimes. Also medication is not shameful. I personally have bad experiences with therapists (mostly on my end) but medication has been very helpful to me.
