So. I'm pretty much off meds right now due to financial issues. And at the moment, my period is due tomorrow and I'm feeling extremely insane. I'm depressed, crying, pissed off, and wanting to tear things apart. How do I know if i'm experiencing pms or if I've entered into a not so good cycle?

I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
