A few hours before I start bleeding, I suddenly become hysterical, I start crying and gnashing my teeth and I am quite literally overcome with anger, sadness, and depression, I just find a spot to be alone and I just contort and cry. It usually lasts a few hours, then about an hour after that, I start bleeding. My periods are always especially heavy and painful but are usually short, I am always exhausted and depressed, and worst of all my mental processing is compromised for about a week.
I desperately explained my situation to my gyno, and she recommended I start taking calcium and magnesium supplements, change my diet, and exercise regularly, all of which I have followed to a T but do not seem to make much of a difference. She did not want to put me on birth control, because I have atypical migraines (I see the aura but I don't get a headache) and she said it would increase my risk of a stroke.
I've gotten to tell myself, it's just hormones, it will pass, but seriously? Is this normal? Seems like bullshit that women have to live like this. My life is revolving around my period, and I'm about ready to just cut out my damn ovaries.

you can also look into adding flax seed oil or fish oil to your diet; and i have a friend who swears by some sort of yam cream for skin (supposedly it absorbs into your bloodstream)... i've never tried it personally, but she says it keeps her from biting people's heads off.
I would look into researching it online, keeping a mood diary (says she who believes she might have it herself but never does keep one!!) and looking into copper and zinc imbalances among other things.
I heard somewhere that a poor balance of copper and zinc makes women beserk.
I'm sorry I'm barely any help - unfortunately a lot of it is trial and error and is down to the individual person.
However, I sympathise with you and hope you take a fraction of comfort in not being alone.
Otherwise ima do an is it normal to dislike that dumb biatch on INN so much?
Btw fuckwitish is perfect for defining the behavioral aspects of a fuckwit.
