This PMT is going to kill me. Wibu to just smash something?!

[Grapeeatingweirdo]

Every four weeks, this absolutely cripples me for a few days. I overheat, cry at the slightest thing and feel irrationally angry all the time.

The worst thing is the deep depression I seem to sink in during the last two or three days before I come on. Along with ginormous painful boobs, I don't feel like life is worth living right now.

I went on antidepressants when I was recovering from anorexia but the side effects make me dopey, not great at work!

Help!!

There was another thread on here where someone threw a cup and got a bit slated for failing to control her anger..and now this...
my first thought when I read the title of the thread is - "thats what sledge hammers are for!" I was really surprised that people response has largely been "take drugs"
I have
removed an entire set of crockery piece by piece from the dishwasherand skimmed it down the garden
dropped hideous ornaments into a garden shredder
removed a wall with said sledge hammer...
cut down a tree (axes are quite good too)
cut a foul dress into teeny weeny pieces
..all of these are just the most cathartic things ever
by the time i had finished with the crockery I was in a state of near bliss
these are completely controlled acts of destruction
I don’t spend my life like this...but a really good vent can last for months ..
what so wrong with this ?

I also get mood swings and depression when I ovulate so I only have an even mood a few days after my period! Some months are just an absolute pit of misery. I'm sluggish, can't stop eating and sometimes gain up to 10 pounds!
I have pmdd and hormonal contraceptions make me absolutely crazy. I'm like the red hulk, just getting angrier and bigger and bigger.
I've thought of going to the gp about but my gp is beyond unhelpful and any other nearby ones are awful as well apparently.
My cycle is irregular too!

Last month wasn't so bad but i've had no energy and cravings for three weeks now and my skin is terrible. I just want my period to come.
So no YANBU!!!!!!!!!!

This thread has come at just the right time for me. I get awful PMS and get really angry and depressed for 3-4 days before my period. Worst problem is, I don't have a regular period, so I've had PMS twice this month already

Will look into the evening primrose and Magnesium.

It's got to be cheaper than a divorce...

I'm so relieved to see this thread! I used to have awful pain with my periods before DC but post-DC2 I am in a 1-2 week rage. I flip between can't move for tiredness to frenetic, raging energy. I preferred the pain because it was manageable.
With the evening primrose oil that has been recommended up-thread, do you take it in the week before or all month?

I take it all month.

I take it all month.

Thanks, will be going and getting some asap!

The one I take has primrose and starflower (big vitamin brand). Marmite is good for B vits too.

Haven't read the replies but I suffer from PMT terribly and was recommended a herbal supplement called Premtis from natures best. I'm on my 3rd month of using it & it's just started kicking in- Ive been noticeably less hormonal, less teary, less angry and less tired this month so defo recommend it x
