PMS and mood swings, but not the usual kind?!


Question:

PMS and mood swings, but not the usual kind?

So, I've noticed that my period will bring on interesting mood swings. I experience depression sometimes and ff I'm depressed and my period is coming I'll either become much more depressed or I'll suddenly swing upwards and get bursts of energy, anxiety, insomnia and hyper annoying!

It lasts until after my period is over maybe even the whole month until my next period, then I'll either stay the same and get slightly more irritable or find myself really depressed again. The depression might go away during my period and then I'll be fine until the next month when I either get slightly more irritable or depressed or that weird up swing.

Anyone else? I've heard of PMDD, but it's not always depression! I do take hormonal contraceptive pills and they do help with the mood swings. I also exercise regularly and try to get enough calcium.

I was like this before I started contraceptives.

I can't tolerate antidepressants which I know they prescribe for PMDD, they give me that weird feeling that makes me hyper, anxious and annoying as hell!

Besides it doesn't even happen every month. Can PMDD only happen sometimes?
