I need to find information about PMS (Premenstrual syndrome) and PMDD.

Do you know where can I find information about these problems? How can I solve it?

I was feeling terrible during htis past week. I cannot control myself, and I think I have a hormonal imbalance. It is ruining my life. I broke up with my boyfriend, had an argument with my best friend, cried all the week, was unable to work, very tired, sad, hopeless, etc.

Some people think it is imaginary or something I can control, but it is not. I am well educated person, very spiritual, always reading about good stuff. I have practiced meditation, prayers etc. I have been in retreats, practiced zen in the past, etc.

It is something beyond the regular, normal self control. During three weeks a month , I am a nice person everybody likes and I like myself too. Usually I am very positive and try to be happy. But, one week a month I become an annoying, winning, tearful, unhappy person. I feel very angry at everybody. Little things extremely bother me. This happens the week before my period.

Some months I am more capable to deal with it but when it is combined with the stress of my PhD, eureka, I become the opposite I am during the other 3 weeks of the month. It is literally ruining my life, I am alone, my friends are scared of me, and my family never knows when I am going to have an episode of rage.


Then later, the first day of my period my mood is fine again, but I have to deal with the consequences of what I have done during my crazy week. I have had to apologize a lot, try to fix the problems I create, but some people just stay away.


I regret I broke up with my boyfriend, but I am afraid of not being capable of controlling myself next month, so I have not called him.


Do you have any idea about what can I do?

Where can I find information about this? Have you read anything related to this? Do you know if the herbs can help me with this?

Exercising helps a little bit but I think at this point each episode is getting worse and I need to do something about it.



Thanks



many blessings
