In the days leading up to my period and during I become so low. It's like a wave of depression comes over me, I'm tearful, over sensitive, irrational and I fly off the handle at the slightest thing. I also really try to avoid seeing people (friends & family) because I just can't cope, at that time, with daily life. I have three small children, the youngest of which (19 months) does not sleep very well and that doesn't help. But I know it really affects me & my family. I am on the contraceptive pill but I took a break for a year and I still had the same feelings. I have spoken to my doctor about it a couple of times and they have changed my pill twice but that also hasn't helped. Does anybody out there suffer the same?
