That time again...

Hello all. I have been dealing with depression for 5 years and seem to be doing ok. But for the last year it seems to get worse each month the week before my cycle. I know this is supposed to be normal, but it is still upsetting. I sometimes wonder if I am not losing my mind. I don't know. Maybe I am just being dramatic. But I can't say this to anyone else and I think you all will understand. I just need to know that I am not the only one who feels like this. I sometimes feel that I am the only one who knows how this feels, and it is really getting to me.

I so want to get over this. Does anyone ever get over it? I don't know. At first the doctor told me I would only need to take the meds for 6 to 8 months. That was 5 years ago.

HELP I need some answers....

Thank you all for listening.

Welcome!!


I know exactly what you mean hun,,, it still gets to me that I can be such an emotional wreck during the week of my period and absolutely fine the rest of the month... Its like Jekyll and Hyde and I have no control over it~~~~ and I HATE not having control over things hehe just ask my husband! Brows


I want to say that on a positive note you Can win the battle hun.. I know its frustrating and has been a long time for you but keep with it. My doctor told me 6 months on zoloft too and it was almost 2 years for me but Im off
