Tums and B6 vitamin, eh? I'm buying it tomorrow.
I go completely insane for two weeks before my period starts and I'm tired of feeling this way. The worst part is that my boyfriend is the one who suffers the most with my mood swings and madness, I treat him really badly, and although I try to acknowledge it and change, the emotions are bigger than me, and I just do and say things without thinking. I think he's considering breaking up with me now because I've ruined so many important days for him due to my craziness, and it would be a shame to let that happen because my unbalanced body is taking over my mind. I don't know how to explain to him that I'm still the same person he met and loved...but that, for two weeks a month now, I'm unable to think straight. I wouldn't blame him though, it's 50% of the time, and I guess it's hard to date Dr Jekyll. I don't want to lose him though.
I just read about pmdd today and I guess I'm kind of glad to know I'm not the only one. At least now I know that there is a reason for my temporary insanity, and there are ways to get over it.
One thing that I know that helps, but that I am not able to do, is to eat healthy (plenty of fruits and vegetables) and exercise.
I'm making an appointment with the doctor tomorrow to know what else is available to help me.
Good luck for you girls, if you know of any "miracle cure", dont forget to post it.
