I completely understand. I just joined the group myself and can relate. My periods sometimes would last for 30 days or more then stop only to start again the next week. My doctors have since started me on a hormone therapy that have taken my PMS from bad to UGLY. It's so bad it's causing problems in my relationship. I'm at my whits end with this and am wanting to stop the treatments all together. I am ready for my female organs to be removed rather than continue to try medications in hopes of diminishing tumors and the bleeding. It's so bad I can't stand myself on days. No matter what I try nothing works.

I know the feeling When My period starts the bleeding is horrible The last time I was on I told my mom that I needed birth control that it would help but she said no it will only make it worse. I have thought about getting my female organs taken out but then I decided not to. because I really want to have kids one day but I am just at my wits in Because the bleeding just gets worse every time my cycle. starts and OMG the cramps are horrible to.

You really need to see a dr about this. For years, I wasn't brilliant as I believe I am, I let it go unchecked. I regret that decision today I have more problems because of that. As women, we believe we can handle everything on our own, we forget to let go of control every now and then.

The hormones I'm taking are helping relieve some of the symptoms but then there are others that have cropped up from them. My PMS I now relate to that of the Incredible Hulk taking over my whole persona. Shoot I want to hide even from myself on many days.

I am going to talk to my doctor about it. and see what they suggest. I do or see if there's anything they can do. When My PMs hits I get very snappy and Hateful towards everybody I also have severe crying spells I have tried PMs tea but it don't work. Need to do something because Its starting to drive me crazy. and Its ruining my relationships. with my friends and family.

Hey guys! I'm new too. I have OCD & anxiety problems and about 2 weeks before I start my period, well let's just say I'd rather bleed a crap ton than deal with the emotional toll it takes every month. The emotional part of it is worse than the bleeding (which I only go about 3 days.)
I crave random crap (causing me to gain weight), I lash out & cuss everybody that stands in my way, my mind goes completely "numb", I just can't think or focus on ANYTHING. I randomly let stuff get to me and I just bawl my eyes out. & with OCD it makes things a lot worse because I'm having unwanted harm thoughts as well & God knows I would NEVER do ANYTHING to anybody or myself, so that's causing anxiety and panic, fear that I'm psychotic even though I'm not.
I'm on 50 mg of zoloft. It helps only between periods, and when it gets close, it's like I'm not even taking anything. :\ So I'm wanting to get in with my obgyn to see if she could help me out further by getting me on BC or something.
& Tabby, certain birth controls WILL help you. Like the depo shot could stop your periods completely. And there's BC where you can only have 4 periods in one year.
Crzycookie, wow, I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that. My mom would literally bleed like 2 months at a time, stop for 3 days, and start again. It was so bad, she was ANEMIC. She would put 3 pads on and it STILL wouldn't stop anything. She finally got to a doctor and they ran an ultrasound, turns out she had a 14 lb tumor on her uterus, and a number of fibroids on her fallopian tubes, ovaries, etc. She had to have a complete hysterectomy. So in a sense I know what you're going through because I watched my mom go through it.

Thanks I am going to talk to my doctor about birth control and see what they suggest. I have to do something
