Oh I am so glad someone has brought this up, I totally relate to what you are saying. my husband always jokes that I suffer from hormonal hatred, it drives me round the bend that he says it but he has got a point. I know when I feel all hormonal too, I just feel irritated by the smallest thing. Normal things that I bottle up so that I don't cause trouble I just blurt out, I become a complete bitch. Other times I can just be really tearful over nothing, it is just completely bonkers. It also drains me completely do you get drained by it? It bothers me too that I feel like it at times as it just makes me feel completely awful and as of yet I don't know what to do to prevent it. I do advise my husband to be more sensitive when I feel it coming on but other than that I don't know what else to do.

I have depression and mood swings as well...I find I have to do a number of things to stay on an even keel...

eat right (carbs make depression worse)
exercise
takemeds
takemeds properly
journal
get enough sleep
and remind myself that my husband and I are one the same team....

I still have the swings but doing these things keeps them from being so extreem...

Hi, some anti depressants, work very well in smoothing out mood swings when they're hormone related, but you'd need to discuss this with a Dr.
On the more natural front starflower oil has double the GLA of evening primrose oil, a lot of women can manage their mood swings just by taking that & some complex vitamins (all the required vitamins & minerals in one capsule).
Any natural remedy takes between 2 to 3 months to really get into your system & to get the effect, you have to take them in the correct dose daily, missing doses reduces the effect. Also there is ST John's wort a natural anti depressant, but it can interact with wesern medicine, so it's always best to talk to your Dr before trying that one.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
