PMT.............

[laurasarah]

Not sure where to start but here goes

I think I have really bad PMT or could it be depression? I have been quite down in the past and have been on ADs but I'm no starting to wonder whether its all down to this as I've been keeping a diary of my mood patterns.

About 2 weeks before my period is due I get sore breasts and then my mood plummets like you wouldnt believe! My feelings towards my DH especially change rapidly. I cant bear him anyway near me and everything he does seems to get on my nerves. I feel very tearful, miserable, like I just want to run away etc etc. Then when its all over I can see how unreasonable I've been.

Went to the docs who told me to get some St John's Wort which I have been taking for about 5 months. Felt so much better and like my normal self again but then for some reason this month I'm totally off the map again.

Last night I had a right go at DH for something that wouldnt normally bother me and then I felt awful but was raging inside and I was so wound up I could sleep. I feel terrible.

Can anyone help please............

I used to lose it regularly with dh.One night a month completely lose the plot, try & kick him out etc. He dragged mr to the Gp who put me on the pill for a year until we were ready to ttc. It took the extremes out of my moods but wasn't great for me. When I came off the pill I wasn't as extreme for a while and now am pg which has calmed me down.

I loved being pregnant. My hormones were fine and I was happy and on a really even keel. I keep thinking about how this time last year life was great (despite the nausea). Now the baby is out (and sitting next to me bouncing in his bouncy chair amused by his hands) my hormones are causing havoc! But pregnancy isn't a permanent cure sadly. I have three children, I can't keep getting pregnant just to be same!

Sane, even.

I must say that coffee combined with sugar is a disaster for my moods. esp if I haven't eaten properly. A good breakfast seems to help a lot. lots of small sugary snacks seem to be the worst, so diet definitely has an effect on me.

No it doesn't have knives and axes lol! I find it relaxing, my cardmaking is a little business I have going on the side to earn a few extra pennies (website is under construction).

I don't eat chocolate or sweets as don't like them never have tbh. Don't have too much sugar really, the only sugar I have is in my cup of tea.

I eat really healthly too, my doc says too healthly sometimes - i'm only a size 6, could prob fit into a 4 depends where you buy from, and I only weigh 7st13lb but need to put weight on I've been told. I just can't eat unhealthy greasy crap makes me feel bleurgh.

so don't know tbh
