Hi manda, i hope i can offer you some reasurrance. Ive always had mood swings, a bad temper and periods of low mood and anxiety. My GP says i have generalised anxiety disorder with mild depression. I have noticed over the last year it is related to my monthly cycle. I start 2 weeks before my due day and its horrific. Sometimes i feel out of control with the anger, and it scares me. I spoke to my GP who put me on sertraline and tested my hormone levels which were fine (I was shocked). My GP said you can still suffer with PMT even if your hormones are within normal limits. My partner is great but knows when to dissapear. IT is hard though because it is 50% of the month. Some months are worse than others aswell for me.

Hope tht helps

Changing your diet can help with PMS CONSIDERABLY if you have the will power to avoid certain things prior and during your Period .ALSO evening primrose and Soya isaflone tabs ,and a gd Vit B complex .Sue
