Thanks Happy Cheeks,
I know one thing that helps me is if I realize that it is that time of month. Then I can be prepared for the emotional overflow. For me it is hard because that is the same way a slide into a major depressive episode starts so I'm always afraid that is what is happening. So when it just suddenly stops when my period starts it is better. Sometimes I can tell it is because of my period because of the food cravings give me a clue. Good luck.
