[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has she started her period?

It got easier for my daughter to manage her emotions related to the hormonal shifts once she got her physical period.  It was like the tangible evidence made something in her brain click and she realized that what she was feeling was due to her period.  She was a monster for a good 12-14 months before her actual period started.  Her Ped said it was 100% puberty related and her bodying preparing to menstruate.  But it was like clockwork every month!  One week she was just an absolute nightmare and then the following week she was less moody, but always complained she felt "bad" but couldn't label the "feeling bad."  (very tired, grumpy, didn't want to do anything).   [/quote]

As an adult I suddenly experienced absolutely horrible PMS. I was depressed, having outbursts, screaming, crying. It was terrifying but after two or three months I realized it was related to my period. For me the answer was birth control and it never happened again. [b]But there is such a thing as abnormally bad PMS, but I forget the name for it. [/quote][/b]
