[quote=Anonymous]I turned 40 in January and I've noticed, within the last year or so, that my mood truly sucks before my period and sometimes before ovulation.  I never really had the mood problems with my period before.  Just the physical pain and cramps during it.  This is not just for one day -- it's for at least 3-4.  I get truly sad and anxious mostly but sometimes it's irritability and lack of patience.  None of this is good for anyone in the family!  Even when I take pains to notice the dates when I feel this way, I can't seem to talk myself out of my mood.  If this is before menopause, what the hell is going to happen during menopause?

Is there anything I can do to help with mood?  Supplements maybe?  Stupidly, I did not mention this to my gyn at my annual last week.  I do have my physical with my internist coming up and will mention it to her but they always seem to be pretty useless.

Today is one of those days and I feel very bad for my preschooler who will be spending the afternoon with a truly sad mom.  I would really appreciate any suggestions![/quote]
