PMT - Your Wise Words Appreciated

[PMTTTT]

I am sorry as I am sure this has been done before probably many times but just need some ideas/wise words please. I have PMT in a big way and it is affecting me and those around me - I have massive paranoia which is a real challenge as I have a very people focused job, I have shouted at the children over the slightest things all day which makes me feel really bad and very small issues seem absolutely huge, plus an urge to cry that I find hard to surpress and I am not a crier by nature - I know that I am being unreasonable I can rationalise it and see that I am reacting to everything in a way that I would not normally do to everything but I just can't help it and don't know what to do and can't snap out of it - seems to get worse each month - I have changed my name as I feel silly even writing this - appreciate any feedback.

For the last month I've been taking evening primrose and agnus castus and for the first time in about a year I feel relatively well-balanced even though I am about to have a period. There've been a couple of moments where I felt as if I was going to lose it, but generally I feel much better than normal.

Evening primrose oil, fish oils ,Jan Devries Female essence drops rescue remedy. I ran out of fish oils and stopped taking it for a fewweeks, my pmt that month was hideous, so I know they really do work.

Just remember that these feelings won't last. When I'm about to shout my head off I stop and take a deep breath. I think to myself that I'm thinking straight and I shouldn't allow myself to get angry. It's ok to cry, it's your body's way of relieving tension, let it out, let the tears flow, it's nothing to ba ashamed of. Have you seen your GP? There's things that they can give you for this. It's not your fault and people do understand. You will snap out of it, PMT only lasts for a short while. I know that you are probably in a dark place at the moment and I promise you that you will feel better, you need to tell yourself this. I find that thinking myself calm and happy works wonders. I often tell myself before I go to sleep that I am a happy person and when I wake up my day will be brilliant. I'd also see your GP and ask for some blood tests to check your hormone levels.

I hope you are feeling better soon.
