to many hormones and not enough positive thoughts

[Seuria]

its that time again, roughly a week before my period. i feel awful. i keep crying and i am depressed as hell. i am supposed to be going up to the surgery to fill a perscription and i couldnt even answer the door when someone rang the doorbell.

if there is such a thing as reincarnation i dont want to be female next time around.

Aaw Seuria,



It's pants isn't it? Can only say I know how you feel love, just like most of the females on this site no doubt!

But, here's a positive thought,

I'd rather have to shave me legs than shave me face every day !!

Hi

I know exactly how you feel.

Have been brilliant for the past few weeks, now I feel horrible - hot, cold, headachy, depressed, tearful and have just realised the ladies days due!

I'm coming back as a tom cat!

Have you tried evening primrose oil?

Have you talked to doc about it and see if maybe the pill would help?

[Seuria]

i take primrose oil already and believe me this is much easier than last month. also i cant take the pill it gives me pins and needles etc. i tried loads of different sorts when i was about 18 and it was the same everytime.

just have to be up with being cranky i suppose....

*big sigh*

hi ,
my cpn told me about MAGNESIUM-OK, ive been taking them for 30 days now, and i ve just came on, ok its done nothing for my panic attacks , or my anxiety thats still as bad as ever, but for my mood i dont seem to be having ago and shouting at anyone and im not crying every two mins like i was,so i think they have helped with my mood . so i dont know if they would help you , but thought i would let you know.

love Sandy xxx

I'm currently on the pill and I must say that I am alot less moody and depressed then I used to be! It's great. It's worth a go

As Nic says, Evening Primrose Oil is a good suggestion too, though it takes 6 months to work ... so if you're patient there's another solution for you.

You have my complete sympathy - my anxiety and mood is terrible before my period (this has only happened relatively recently). It did take me a while to realise there is a pattern. At least I can now tell myself it is hormonal which tends to make the anxiety more rationalised.

I try and keep these few days easy (well as easy as I can with two wee ones!!) This month will be fun Got party on due day and a really busy week next week, dreading it!!!!!!
