I've the most horrible day. I lost the plot over something very trivial in the grand scheme of things and ended up having a massive row with a DH. The children were upset, I was upset, DH was upset.
I have since apologised to everyone and am feeling very down about what happened. Tonight my period has started and I just know that my erratic behaviour is down to that. The week leading up to it I am a nightmare and I know it but I just cannot help it.

Has anyone else had this happen and if so what the heck can I do to change it? I can't carry on like this as I will end up divorced with 2 very sad dc's. I feel such a complete lowlife this evening. My family mean the world to me. I am just awful.😥

And today is seems I have The Rage, even though my period has started. The dcs are bickering and and it's taking all my self control to keep my mouth shut. It's only 4.30 Sad I wish I could run away.

Loosing the plot

I still haven't had period so taking the Agnus must have seriously messed with my cycle. I keep feeling like I'm going to get it and then nothing. Anyone else?

I take 'Kira hormonal balance' you can get it in boots, i was recommended it by a friend and it definitely helps with the pmt, been slack about taking it this month and really noticed the difference 💐 it really is awful isn't it, to feel so out of control. Hope you find something that helps.

Period has finally arrived, 2 weeks late! Not sure I want to continue with the Agnus Castus as I feel it's really
messed up my cycle and I spend every day wondering if it's going to come today!

Thank you for the link Queen. Did taking that alter your cycle at all?

Period arrived here. Lethargy, lack of motivation gone but unusually and Sad depression has not lifted at all SadSadSad

I don't recall any major changes in cycle, but a definite improvement in mood, not a cure but certainly less irrational and more able to recognise that I had pmt rather than I really did hate everyone and they hated me too! I wonder if it is a peri menopausal thing for me? PMT never used to be this extreme I don't think and am 42 now. It's shit is what it is and look forward to it all being over and done with.
