Just wondering about this.Im late for my period this month lasat month i was days early now im late and today its as iff i cannot hold myself together.My emotions are all over the place.Ive sobbed all morning on and off and now an sobbing agin think ive lost my ability to handle anything.is this my eratic hormones out of whack or have i lost it....Im glad im not having to work today as i couldnt stop th crying.my eyes are red and sore and i cant talk to anyone without welling up.Maybe i will get my period any day and this may help.Does anyone else get this bad before their period is due as ive not had it this bad.Ive felt emotional before but this is me not seeming to have any control over how i react etc.My parents are coming round in an hour so hopefully they wont think ive lost it.....Never had bad PMS symptoms till i hit 37/38 at all i used to just bleed for three days and that was that now im either a week early or late bleed for 2 days or 9 days whats going on?

Hi Laxgirl, Yes I have been where your are and actually I cried for 3 days straight, talk about feeling stupid or feeling like you are losing your mind . I called my doctor and went to see him still crying the whole time but he put me on AD's. Do you take any thing for this ?

Hi Laxgirl,

Sorry you're having a tough day I get really weepy, too....... it seems worse right before I get my period...... sometimes it feels like a relief from the anxiety or other symptoms to just cry it out. But I do feel like I've lost it, or am out of control. Then it just stops. It happened to me today.... crying and feeling non-functional, then it just stopped and I felt fairly normal. It's like my circuitry is screwed up. I don't know how people who have to perform at work can do it. I have my 2 year old and am not not working aside from that.

I just come on here and read that I'm not alone, call an understanding friend or two, breathe, make up a prayer...... whatever I can to get through the worst of it.

I did go back on celexa 20 mg. which I had had luck with for PPD after the birth of my daughter. Also going to see a counselor feels helpful. I can't talk about this stuff too much with my husband...... he doesn't understand, though he is compassionate.... it just isn't good for our relationship. Sigh.

Sending you a great big hug today

Hope that you are feeling better and less alone.

Hi Laxgirl

OH you are so not alone. I WAS normally a very even mooded person and now about 4 days before my period I CRY at everything! Or for nothing. I feel like I am in puberty again! I had these types of intense emotions then and they seem to be back. I can't control it...I walk every morning and seem to let the tears out then as well! Thank goodness it's very early in the morning so no one sees me. Breathing exercises seem to help.

HUGS
