Not only can periods cause d*, but nervousness can make it 10x worse. Freaking out puts me on the fast track to worsening cramps, d* and nausea. The brain/bowel connection is stronger than most people realize, especially if you have something like IBS or inflammatory bowel disease.
Imodium (loperamide) is a lifesaver. Do what you must to stay calm and remind yourself it's all related to your period.
