Every month I feel rage/depressed & tearful for a week. Fine the rest of the time.

It's worse since I had children. I don't tolerate the pill very well and am too fat/old/migraine suffering for most of them anyway.

Anybody had any success with supplements etc? Some weeks I have suicidal thoughts, I know it's pmt as fine while pg/bf and the other three weeks of my cycle. I've been exercising and eating well and felt fantastic until yesterday, af due next week :(

Sorry if this is the wrong board.

Hi Blobby. There was another lady asking the same thing on here the other day and I think she got some good advice. Almost identical thread. Have a look - and hope your PMT gets better! Mine is heinous!

Blobby, I feel for you. I'm the same. Every month, relentlessly. It has got worse as I've got older. Every month I
hate my husband for a few days and just want to hide away. I don't know what the answer is I'm afraid, but there is advice on the other thread that sounds very sensible.

I started taking evening primrose oil a month ago, it takes a while to start working, so bear that in mind. My friend said it didn't help her, but in the past it has helped me I think, so worth trying again. Go for a high dose though. I'm currently taking a 1000 dose once a day I think.
