I know this has been done to death but I'm sick of living with misery for half a month.
I'm mid to late 30's. Have always had PMT but its getting worse and I'm fed up with it.
The day I ovulate I begin to see a difference. I get snappy , easily angry, stressed. This gets worse till about 6 days before my period is due when the anxiety hits. Churning stomach all day everyday. That feeling of dread, frightened, teary and sad. This increases till period day where I can't stand anyone or anything. I could scream and cry all day long over nothing. Period starts and I cry. My god do I cry! I feel release from the anxiety but the depression for 4-5 days is just awful.
Then I'm fine! Perfectly normal till it all starts again.
I can't take the pill because frankly they all make me mental. I've had a marina coil and it changed everything to wanting to murder for 4 days. Then I went loopy after 4 half years of having it and I had it removed which at least stabilised me.
Doctors say they can do nothing and that I either take an AD or learn to manage it. I don't want AD because I get terrible insomnia with them.
Evening primrose oil, B vits etc don't touch it.
What might help? I don't want this anymore.
