I'm used to having pms, usually mild cramps and lots of crying. Over the last couple years the crying has increased and I often, (usually about 5-8 days before my period,) reach an absolute point despair. I get overbearingly depressed and it feels very real. It makes me lethargic, I dont want to do anything productive and I cry about everything. It used to be somethng I could deal with but it's gotten so extreme, I feel like I have a few days of nervous breakdown every month. And it's not just happening right before my period anymore, tho its always correlated with cramps. I thought I had pms 3 weeks ago, but still no period. I had one last month but missed it the month before... My mom takes anti-depressants so she thinks mood stabalizing pills are great. I'm going to a doctor in two days to talk about this, but it wont be a gyno, just a family doc. My mom is really worried about me because my emotions have been so extreme lately, sometimes I really feel like I need pills. At the same time, I'm very weary and i feel like I just need to make some lifestyle changes. I'm just scared the doctor's going to put me on birth control because I probably have PMDD. I'm just really paranoid about it because the influences in my life are mostly anti- birth control, anti-depression pills. I just have alot of stresses in my life and nobody to really lean on except my pill-happy mother...
