Hi all,
I have depression but can handle it until 10 days before my period. I get really weepy and anxius and I curl up in my bed for 3 days a month and don't go to work so am about to be fired. Does anyone else have this? I am thinking of going on the pill to help but my GP thinks i'm being silly. -

dear tanya
i can understand how you feel and no you arent silly your gp is silly for not understanding i think you should see another gp or counseller to help you deal with it a little better even if it takes the edge of a bit and maybe they might have some stratgies to help you get through the rough three days you have , as for your job some places dont understand and sometimes its to personal to explain but you need to put yourself first , i have same issues however i am on the pill and medication for depression but i find that week of having my period is the hardest because your emotions are over the place sometimes leading up to it the week of or even after i find .hard , hang in there take careReport this post

What you are saying is not silly at all! Please read the link above from a very well regarded organisation in Melbourne. There is definately a link between fluctuating oestrogen levels just before a period and mood. Taking the pill is listed as one way to manage this.
