[quote=Anonymous]Something similar happens to me TWO times a month, with my period and when I am ovulating; so about every two weeks for about 48 hours each time.  My husband and I went through some serious stuff about a year ago and with a lot of work  from both sides, counseling and good will we are doing great. I am very happy we stuck together and love him dearly. But during those crazy hormonal days I completely lose it. I question every decision, magnify every little thing, my expectations become insane and I get upset if they are not met, I cry when I hit a red light....Totally nuts.
I hate it. Rationally I know what it going on, but emotionally I become a wreak. I don' t use hormonal BC because of migraines and circulatory issues.  I have talked about it with my gyno, regular doctor and therapist and no one has a good answer for me. My gyno said that sometimes they recommend the pill to "normalize" insane hormonal fluctuation but in my case it would be contraindicated and that some time ago they would prescribe Prozac for certain days a month but that they do not do that anymore (can not remember why). I recently started to work with homeopath/acupuncturist and it has helped a bit. I have only been through one cycle since I started but I did feel a bit better. 
So sorry OP, I have no tips for you. I just try to cram myself with activities during those days and allow myself to feel miserable for a bit and try very hard not to act upon any crazy thought. 
I like the list idea a PP gave you. I have a similar one with all the reasons I value my marriage and my husband and read a lot during those days. It really does help. 
Take care. [/quote]
