Menstuation, moods and meltdowns (women only, please)

Post Reply New Topic

For psychological resons you can get a historectomey at any age it's finding a doctor well two doctors willing to help you that might be alot of trouble. If you can not you might want to get on that pill that cuts your preiods down 3 times a year I'm not sure if the one that gets rid of them altogether is still on the market would be the way to go. As for you eye you need to see a doctor for that as well and not mattter how "bitchy" you are noone ever has the right to hit you.

You don't want a hysterectomy, trust me. It's serious internal surgery, and you are bedridden for six weeks/months? (hasn't had one, doesn't exactly know.) If you feel bad now, you'd be spitting chips after 6 weeks of bedpan and daytime tv.

Ps. X2. Nobody should be hitting you.

Seems it would be wise to chart for a time, 6 months or so. Charting and paying attention to ones cycle isn't to do with having children or not, it is part of good health! The melt downs getting worse at this age cause me to question if you are entering peri-menopause, or if otherwise hormonal, not feeling poorly, but hormonal shifts are to do with predisposition to melt down. Please look up Toni Weschler and cycle charting and start today. It can give you so much insight to your emotional/ hormonal symtoms and you can know ahead of time when you must honor your cycle and not push yourself when the time isn't right. When you know when you will become most suseptable, you can give yourself a break and avoid setting yourself up to fail by planning a low stress time for those few days. I have found this to be of tremendous benefit.

Ok, my eye has healed now. But I don't know the names of the birth control that gets rid of menstruation altoghether. It was a shame my irritablility caused me to break a door, but sadly, no one wants to associate that with my monthly cycle, preffering to say it's part of my "personality".

It's not fun the other way round either.

Killed it again.

Fickle go speak with your gyno I'm sure the know the name of the birthcontrol pill most likely to stop your cycle I think the took the other one off the market because it freeked alot women out not to have any at all.

Ok then go speek to your Gpn or go to the health clinic they wil be happy to help you with brith control. Being over 18 you do realy need to find a gyno and get checked once a year.

To the OP: Go to the doctor and get checked for PMDD (severe pms). You don't really need a physical checkup, just note your symptoms. I think you have to have severe pms symptoms for over 2 months to get the dx.
I had severe pms and my meltdowns were explosive. I got put on anti-depressants which made my pms less severe.

*sigh* I just fear those scumbag siblings of mine will beat me up again for having HORRIBLE mood swings and think I deserve the abuse that is being returned to me. I tried bringing it up, but they mocked me, and said "ABUSE?? HA!"

My older sis dosen't know and when I tried to mention it subtley, calling it "hormonal factors" she said "Oh no, you can't get away with that anymore!" as if I was talking about the onset of puberty instead (I should have said "Actually, I can up until I'm in my late 40s"). And when I act out on my irritability, she says "And you wonder why we hit you?" ("Hit" is SUCH a weak word to use there, they understate things just to be smart-asses, I would use the more appropriate term for the extreme violence, I would say "PUMMEL"!)

Yes definatley! I can have aspie meltdowns if they are triggered, but they happen more often, and are more intense during the time of the month.
