I hate my period... I hate pms... I have done nothing but snap at people all day long and I don't know how to stop it... I get anywhere from one to four periods a month, this has been a good month. I only had one extra "breakthrough" and it only lasted a day.

I have anxiety and depression issues, my life is a whirlwind right now, and on top of it, I feel like I'm pms'ing. Poor hubby, he can't do anything without getting the look, or an attitude and I really don't mean to do it... and so then I feel horrible and want to just cry... and so I try to keep myself from getting upset and crying and just end up having an anxiety attack because I'm trying not to cry.

I don't know how to explain what's going on in my head to hubs, and so he gets frustrated and I get "whatevered" and it just goes from there... I want to stop getting so emotional when I am nearing my period but when I'm getting it anywhere from 1-4 times a month its like GRRRR.... and I don't know how to help him deal with it, when, I can't deal with it myself...

I go the 13th to get the essure procedure done, its the new way to tie tubes... I'm kind of hoping that it helps, but I don't know if it will, right now I have a Mirena IUD so I'm not sure how I'm going to react after my surgery. They want to put me on a birth control pill for 4 months to make sure the essure has time to take, so maybe that will help keep my hormones regular, and hopefully regulate my periods... But, what do I do after that? I mean... I know... "just wait and see how things are working"... but I can't... I panic when I don't know what's going to happen.

help!

I know what you mean. I have an irregular menstrual cycle too. I usually get them every two months for a stretch then back to every 28 days. I was always reluctant to say that it affected my as badly as it does. But truth be told on top of my mood issues, this is just too much. I snapped at my dad so much today, my mood had been relatively manageable and "stable" for weeks now and today i just had serious drop (like day to night). And then i realize that i may be due for my period soon, but with my irregularity, it's difficult to tell. One way is that i get pretty much the way you described. Wish i had better advice right now but all i can say is at least it passes, eventually. And well, kudos.
