Question : Hello, I apologize in advance for the mess. I'm on here, because I've been feeling sudden sadness, crying about nothing, and feeling extremely overemotional(hormonal) along with having an anxiety attack two weeks in a row followed by a huge dramatic one just a couple hours ago, Hyperventilating and crying... About nothing specific? My period is also 11 days late so far. Not sure if related but I've also had sudden mid back pain for the past 2 days that is slightly sharp, but not totally constant. I also get occasional brain fog, In case that is somehow connected, along with various other small symptoms. My question is: Specifically hormonally and mentally what do you think the most likely causes are?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The description of your problem,given by you -strongly indicates it to be psychological issue..Hormonal cause(following menarche,irregular periods,thyroid problems may underlie...&need to be diagnosed after investigations.)
I have a strong feeling..it to be out of Hormonal imbalance OR disappointment/love affair / some psychological dispute with near once/educational/ set back in career.
* In my view-
-You are aware of your behavior...it's a good thing.Now you need to try & get a command on your mind to obstruct such whims ...possible by concentration exercises /meditation.Should get guidance from a Yoga XXXXXXX
-Consult a physician primary evaluation of your health...followed by referal to expert(Nurophysician,psychotherapist or counselor,endocrinologist). for specific guidance.
I hope that answers your query.Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks.
