i hope this is an ok place to put this post..for a few months now ive been noticing horrible mood swings w/my pms. each month they seem to get worse and worse. but it's only the week or 2 before i get it (typical) except mine have gotten bad. i can feel how bad they make me and my head feel. and my bf constantly comments that my mood swings are "pms" so im wondering for some solutions? it's just, one minute i can feel one way, and the next minute, a total 180! i end up always feeling the same feelings each month, sort of returning to the same concerns or worries, and they bring me down. waaay down. sometimes i can even feel depressed the way i used to feel about 3 years ago. what should i do? im working 2 jobs and fitting in school and am pretty busy. i keep wanting to start again with my yoga class, and saturday is perfect for me, but im always so tired and thats usually a late work day for me. fridays im usually working late too so i need all the sleep i can get. i found some chinese herbs that are supposed to help, but i never have time to buy them. anyone know any herbalists in chicago? or places that may carry some chinese herbs? or even good supplements (natural preferred) most of the additives in jewel's meds aggrivate my tum. thanks guys for anything anyone can offer. even if it's just a story about how you get thru the cycle, id love to hear it--before my own cycle starts to take it's effect. thanks guys~
