Hello all,
I was just wondering if any of you feel worse when your about to start your period? If so, what do you do? I have been terribly anxious and depressed this month and not sure what to do.

dear fighting, i'm new here too but have recently found help for that time of the month i'll share with you. i have the worst depression right before my period too, sometimes times even 2 weeks of it!! i read a book about reducing symptoms of pms naturally and it really worked! take B vitamins, you can get them at your local grocery or TArget or whatever. but make sure you get one with the most milligrams (mg) available, some of them are pretty weak, you'll have to look on the back to find out. i'm so glad i found this group, hope it helps all of us.

Thank you very much! I will give it a try. Do you by any chance know the name of the book you read?

OOO, do I feel your pain, I got so blue Monday I posted here for the first time. See "I feel so lost" post. I am peri menopausal the doctors say. I tried a wal mart brand of estroven. I was also taking a multivitamin. My problem now is that I'm having vivid dreasm so vivid they wake me up. I thought it was a side effect from vitamin b. I can't remember where I got that information from. I stopped the estrovin and had a total melt down, crying for hours, feelings of hopelessness. So back i went to it. Stopped the multivitamin and started taking 1000 mg vitamin C and 600 mg of calcium and the estroven. Nightmares are still here. Does this bible book have any advise on this or do you know a website that I could search?
