Terrifying PMT.....nearly at self harm stage.

[posieparker]

So it has come to light that for about two out of every four weeks my moods are pretty horrific. I only stopped bleeding, from period, about four days ago and the moods start again. In my worst moments I want to drive into a wall, crush my head with my own hands, scream and shout (and want to hurt) my own children or just want to leave. I frequently talk about leaving everyone and this is not always so they can't hear...this is in the midst of a huge rage.

I have been to the doctors many many times and been told nothing can be done because I was breastfeeding, I have now stopped. I am also awaiting a counsellor for other issues. I am just wondering if anyone has ever had valium or something that they can just pop when they feel like this?

I don't think you need valium, if it is this bad you need an assessment of your hormone levels and see if something is way out there.

Some forms of anti-conception can help (if not ttc obv).

But.....if your moods start four days after your period is it really PMT? Not saying it is not, just wondering.

Sorry don't know how much use this is but don't like to see posts unanswered. And don't like the idea of valium.

Somebody recently had a thread on here about bad pmt, there were quite a few suggestions on there, maybe worth a search.

how old are you posie and how old is your baby?
