pms blues.

[semi-sane]

do any of you women out there suffer from severe pms? a few days before my period i get incredibly depressed. I sit and cry and i have no idea why. i get really sensitive and i become a real bitch too and completely anti social. i feel like a completely different person. im on the pill logynon. could that be why i have such mood swings around that time of month. or am i lacking a certain vitamin? any help with this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Im menopausal now but used to be just the same the only way is to let all close family know get on with it and apologise afterwards, not much in the way of practical help I know sorry

Yes, but now I'm pregnant, it's great, haven't had a bout of PMS for over 4 months and I feel like a different person.

I came off the pill years ago, because I genuinely believe it made me severely depressed, to the point of contemplating suicide. I think it's a terrible invention and messes up your whole system.

If you haven't already tried, try Agnus castus, it can help balance out hormones.

I can get it really bad too. I often want to clean everything in site as well.
This month I have had it real bad. Couldn't stop eating rubbish which made me sick, then I got all tearful then agitated.
Now I am on my period I just wanted to cry last night and feel drained.
Luckly I don't get as bad every month.
I find eating healthy and exercise help and taking vitamins

My doctor suggested oil of evening primrose and it made a fantastic difference. Best price probably from zipvit.co.uk

I take one evening primrose oil capsule EVERY day, and it has made a HUGE difference to me - just ask Mr Spudqueen and the kids! I'm a much nicer person now, every day of the month!
