Mood swings...Are they getting to you too?

Question

I have an issue pms. I am guessing that is what it is. It's been 3 months since i gave birth to my 2nd son and lately just before my period i am just the worst person to be around. i pretty much have to go into hiding. Every little thing sets me off and i just want to cry. Is there something that i can do about this? Should i contact my OB? Are my hormones still out of wack from being pregnant an still have to adjust? If so how long would i have to wait?

Answer 2

Yes, you should contact your doctor about this, although they may suggest you wait a few months to make sure this is a recurring thing.

You could could have PMDD:

over the course of a year, during most menstrual cycles, five or more of the following symptoms must be present:

depressed mood

anger or irritability

difficulty in concentrating

lack of interest in activities once enjoyed

moodiness

increased appetite

insomnia or hypersomnia

feeling overwhelmed or out of control

other physical symptoms

symptoms that disturb social, occupational, or physical functioning

symptoms that are not related to, or exaggerated by, another medical condition
