However, the emotional storm, and I DO mean storm, happens once my period is over.<br /><br />My mood swings are SEVERE. I become extremely angry and mean one minute and then I'm crying like a baby the next. At times, I will feel like I could literally rip someone's head off for absolutely no reason and not give it a second thought. Then, in a few minutes, I will be sobbing, also for no reason. When I spoke with my GYN about this, she did some tests, had me fill out some questionnaires, etc. Then she eventually diagnosed me with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). It <i>usually</i> happens a week or so before the onset of a woman's period, hence the word PREmenstrual, however, she said it actually can happen at anytime during the 28 day cycle. <br /><br />I don't know how severe yours is but here is a good site to read more about it. <br /><br /><a href="http://pmdd.factsforhealth.org/what/" rel="nofollow">PMDD</a><br /><br />I hope this helps in some way and I hope you start to feel better. BTW, I'm always intrigued by the names people give to their period. :0) How did you come up with 'Aunt Irma'? We always call 'her' Aunt Flo. LOL! :0)<br /><br />Have a great weekend.<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />Teresa <>< <br /><br /><a href="http://toomanyheartbeats.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">♥ Too Many Heartbeats ♥</a><br>Teresa @ ♥ Too Many Heartbeats ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/06926075458122509648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515472762446988919.post-17969102539911185062010-05-14T14:13:04.367-07:002010-05-14T14:13:04.367-07:00Oh those days are gone for me but the moods are no...Oh those days are gone for me but the moods are not.
