I've just had a week of the blackest mood ever. Haven't felt quite like it since I had a bot of depression about 8 years ago. I was working out how to tell dh I'd fallen out of love . Today it's lifted. Like a cloud has gone. The girls are being lovely. dh is lovely. The sun's out. Does anone else get it this bad?

about 2 months ago i had the worst bout ever and seriously considered topping myself.felt that everyone would be better off without me.
woke up next day and felt fine!
it's a horrible thing. this last month i didn't have any pmt.it's weird.

Ooooh tell me about it. I am on fluoxetine which is supposed to combat my PMT but I still get it really bad the week before am due. I came on yesterday and felt bloody brilliant as soon as I came on.

It was DP's birthday on Wednesday and I was a real horrible cow to him so now my period has come I have been trying my best to make it up to him. Trouble is we can't get it on though which is frustrating.

I always feel really tired too and washed out and bloated, its really horrible.

I had PMT this badly when I was on the progestogen only pill. Stopped taking it, properly sorted.

Zippetydoodahzippetyday · 15/10/2006 20:05

I also hate my DP the day before, feel he is useless and incompetent and the day after think he is the best man that walked the earth and feel so lucky to have him.

frenchconnection · 15/10/2006 20:35

Well tonight I cooked a meal without giving a toss about what it tasted like Before you all think uggh shes just a Bree, I'm not. I'm a trained chef and I can quite honestly say that this is the first time in years that I just threw everything together without caring what it tasted like

I resented cooking for my selfish dp and dss who I've had a huge row with. I'm fairly sure that 50 per cent is PMT but unfortunatly 50 per cent is that they take me for granted.

Dinner(cottage pie) was tasteless and I had to put loads of hp sauce on it

VeniVidiVickiQV · 15/10/2006 20:44

I used to pre children. Its slowly creeping back. I tend to know whent its starting and to not trust my feelings or reactions at all. Which is incredibly difficult but the only way i have found to deal with it tbh.

Munz · 15/10/2006 20:44

yup, this month I told DH I wanted to leave him cos he didn't do the washing up - he told me he was deciding which hammer to hit me on the head with! lol.

bananaloaf · 15/10/2006 20:45

had horrendus PMT after ds1 could have quite happliy left/maimed/buried dh under the patio. now more weepy but also back at work fulltime so dh doesnt get the full force

frenchconnection · 15/10/2006 20:50

God, my dh said today " i think im gonna get cancer soon, im so run down " and i replied with " chance would be a fine thing.."

HORRIBLE, I know..

hopefully i will be nicer tomorrow

bananaloaf · 15/10/2006 20:52

french do worry mine has Manflu at the moment and whether i had pmt or not i wouldnt be sympathetic

Zippetydoodahzippetyday · 16/10/2006 10:32

What is really annoying is the fact that they know every month you are going to get crabby and will snap at them but still my DP takes it to heart and then has a major strop with me if he was just nice to me, even though I am being a complete bitch everything would be fine.....but no, he's male and doesn't understand that concept.

snoopy2 · 16/10/2006 10:42

I actually ended our relationship once as a result of pmt but i had also been drinking. Worse thing was i couldnt remember a word I had said ! Next morning he was really off with me and I just said "whats up with you today?" and he said "don't you remember last night?"

I still get dark depressions for upto a week before but its funny how they suddenly lift. I hate it. Cant wait for the menopause!!

Zippetydoodahzippetyday · 16/10/2006 10:52

I said that this week too - can't wait for the menopause but then you need to take HRT!!!! Men have got it so bloody easy haven't they??

[Zippey stomps off even though she has forgotten the fact that period has actually come]

snoopy2 · 16/10/2006 10:56

My 9 year neice started her periods the other day. Young isnt it?

RottenOtter · 16/10/2006 10:57

i have been torture for a couple of days now. SHOUTING at the dc's all the time 'screaming' at them for no good reason. Absolutely dog tired too but sleep really badly.
only got pmt after the birth of my third child

still no sign of damn period but i know its coming.
My poor family!

hotandbothered · 16/10/2006 11:02

Reading this has just made me realise while I've been such a cow this w/e! Have shouted at dd, ignored poor old dh, the house is a tip, can't make decisions, can't be bothered to cook tea etc etc. Of course, PMT!

Zippetydoodahzippetyday · 16/10/2006 11:03

Thats it though you sometimes don't even realise why you feel this way unless you actually work it out and realise why.

cremolafoam · 16/10/2006 11:07

once was so angry i got in the car and drove 300 miles in a red mist rage. woke up in the car
when i eventually got home asked for a divorce and told dh i was going to sell the house.

am finally ( after 10 years at least of trying different pills) on decent medication but now instead of rage i fell very depressed all the time.

am now on the list for a hysterectomy

hotandbothered · 16/10/2006 11:21

It's the worst feeling - out of control with no reason except what your body is telling you. Mine only started with the birth of dd. I'm usually on such an even keel but people are now noticing that I'm not always calm and organised... Don't know if painful periods but no PMT was better than PMT and not nearly as bad pain.
