is it just me or does anyone else feel like they want to split from there long term partner when they are on there period. Ive noticed the past couple of times now if feel so depressed that i actually start pondering over my relationship and actually think about ending it, at one point ive actually done a pro and con list list. Crazy i know, but does anyone else feel like this?

no partner, but i often have the urge to kill anything male that crosses my path

No. I mean, I occasionally want to put a pillow over his head when he's asleep but then I feel like that about a lot of people and I don't have to be on my period... ;0)

Seriously - I never feel like that. More often than not, I just want a hug and to sleep and I'm crankier than normal but it's kind of hard to tell the difference anyway.

PMS makes women irrational. It did me. Now I am not so bad as I am getting treated for it. But it is quite typical to be completely irrational around that time. Hormones are a powerful thing. If it is bothering you that much you should see your gp!

maybe i should take something. Its only when im on i feel like this otherwise ima pretty happy person in general. It is quite worrying really ive sat here this morning and have cried (i have also lost a pup this morning though so that could have something to do with it) and have actually had a mental conversation with myself about what im not happy about and what im going to say to him. reading what im typing though its actually making me giggle. I know i sound like a madwoman but honestly im not lol

Sorry about your pup.

The best thing to do is wait until your PMS subsides then ask yourself the questions. Are you happy? Is this what you want? That way you won't be clouded by the hormones. As you say it may be worth taking something to help with it. Although its only once a month its a long time to be feeling down over the course of a lifetime that could be avoided.

Are you on any type of contraceptive pill? If so, tell your GP about it and they can try you on a new pill. I went through about 6 pills before I finally found one that worked well for me, because I was getting crazy hormone swings at that time too. Even if you're not on the pill, speak to the GP. They might put you on one to help balance out the hormones. Good luck!
