I feel a lot of hostility as part of PMS with near-weepy episodes. 90% of the time I have one crying episode before my period. The hostility is pretty disturbing - I get paranoid, hate my boyfriend, hate my job, hate traffic, people, coworkers, just want to be left alone. I calm down almost the day of my period starting though.

My pdoc wants me to up my sertraline when I feel this coming on but it still doesn't control all of these symptoms/reactions. I don't want BCP myself because of weight gain, side effects, and risks. So for now I just accept this for what it is. I am due for a full physical so maybe I will get some suggestions from a primary doc.

“Brother, I’m not depressed and haven’t lost spirit. Life everywhere is life, life is in ourselves and not in the external. There will be people near me, and to be a human being among human beings, and remain one forever, no matter what misfortunes befall, not to become depressed, and not to falter – this is what life is, herein lies its task.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
