urghhhh!! stupid, but still need help

I didn't know where else to post this, so here goes. I'm a 29 y/o femal, and when the time of month comes around, maybe 2 weeks before I become this monster that is uncotrolable and I feel alone, sad, mad, depressed, ugly, hungry, can't sleep, breast soreness, you name it, I have it!! I'm a very loving and gentle personne, but when this comes around, I just can't control myself I have huge fights with my hubby, bad enough where I want to leave him, we yell and scream and I closed the door on him today, took a knife to my self, ( I don't think I would have done it) I yell at my kids for no good reason, I would say more but I have a huge head ache and I just don't feel like it,

 

Am I alone is there something out there for people like me!!???

I totally know what you are going thru. I went thru the same things until I had a baby and now it seems to be a little better. Anyway, have you thought of going on some kind of birth control. Sometimes when your hormones are going crazy, the pill can kinda counter act and the 2 mixes of the pill can help settle you down. There is also a site called netmindbody.com. They have these homopathic drops that are all natural that may help as well. I use the ones called "ER911" and "Metal". They are for stress and tears and they help me so much. They have all kinds that relieve different things. If I were you, I would at least check out the site. It cant hurt. Anyway I hope all goes well and just hang in there, dont leave your husband and DONT do anything to hurt yourself. There is help, you just have to find it. Holler if you need to talk!

Don't you think we create our own stress?

What could you eliminate to make your life run smoother? I think we create our own stress. What do you think?

life

well here i go my life has become an open book . i'm at a very sad part of my life but if i look back i think my whole life has been sad.to start with i was born to two alcoholic parents the second of six.I was giving away as a baby to a couple who also liked to drink,but my mothers father went to their house where they were drunk at the kitchen table and i was dirty crying and in a crib ,so he took me to his house where gramppy really liked little girls and grammy was blind to it. i wanted to be home with my sisters so as i got older i rebelled and went back and forth from my mothers to my grandparents.i had cancer surgery almost five years ago and to be honest my past never bothered me till after my surgery.the past has come to haunt me,and the future scares me even more.i have to go now thanks

Hi Melissa,

I read what you wrote and other replies to your message. Amber is right that there must be some hormonal imbalance, but still I think it will not be safe to meditate yourself with meds from some website. My opinion is that you should see a doctor to fully understand what is going on. If the problem stays for long period of time it can get worse and it will be hard to cure it.

Take care

Kim

Life and Stress

I think we don't create our stresses, but what we do is we let the stresses overwhelm us. Stresses are normal part of our life. Stresses become problem when we give up on them or become unable to cope with them.
