Depressed and suicidal before my period. Is medication/therapy needed?

Question

I have been extremely depressed and suicidal these last two days. I hated everyone and I wanted to kill some people and I also broke up with my boyfriend for no reason. I got even more depressed and I tried to kill myself because I feel that it's too late to turn back to my boyfriend. Anyway, yesterday I went to a doctor and now im seeing a psychologist in one month. This morning I tried to die but after a while trying I cried to sleep and when I woke up I realised I had my period.

I did notice that I get angry before my period but this was one of the worst. I was wondering if it is still nesecery for me to go to my consultation since I found out it was probably hormones?

Is there anyway to fix that? I want to fix it because I've been harming myself once every month.

Sorry I dont know whether to put this on women's health or mental health but I want to fix my mentality so I chose mental health.

Answer 1

We´ve never had s*x .he is the only reason i live for so i cannot keep on living after breaking up.

Answer 3

Sounds like you have pre-menstral disorder (PMDD).  They usually prescribe antidepressants for it.  I'd still go ahead with the consult and see how it goes.  If nothing else, talking thru the stuff you've done because of this might help.  Besides, you can always stop it later.

Answer 4

I would suggest that it may well be PMDD, or possibly PMS. which I cover in sections 48, and 19 of my website, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris and anger management is in section 4 (you would  almost certainly do better by addressing the core problem, as well as learning, and employing those techniques).

Depression, (see section 2; page R first, then young women's depression, page V, and the rest) suicidal thoughts & self harm: (view sections 5 & 16: contact one of the hotlines, when needed).
