Is this pmt or menopause?

Im really struggling with pmt since having my baby 10 months ago. I'm not sure if its because I'm still carrying extra weight (3 stone) bc apparently that makes pmt worse, or if its due to my age....but I didn't really used to have symptoms and now I'm a weeping psycho, a walking cliche.

I've spent the last week feeling super bleak, verging on suicidal. Yesterday I slapped both my children, and wanted to leave my life far behind. I spent the past few days in floods of misery and tears.

Thus morning my period started...it's a week early so I am relieved as I thought I was heading for a breakdown, but now I'm worried that my erratic periods and mood mean I'm peri menopausal ( I've also aged rapidly over the past couple of years).

I'm on Prozac already .... It generally balances me out perfectly but right now I feel unhinged....

Please see your doctor or health visitor asap. You may have post-natal depression.
