Zen, have you ever seen an ob/gyn and talked about your PMS and mood swings around that time? You may have some kind of hormonal imbalance. When I still was getting my period, between my PMS and my PTSD/anxiety/depression it was HORRIBLE! I'd have maybe 2 good weeks then at least 2 bad weeks. Sometimes of course I didn't have any good weeks. Now they have meds that help with bad PMS. Back when I had it, it was something you really didn't hear talked about much.

I also ultimately was diagnosed with hypothyroidism too. I think my hormones had been out of whack for years but no doctor, or myself, ever thought to test for that kind of thing.

Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,
and if that makes you feel better feel free.
But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
Thanks for this!
