Can I post in here.. hormonal anger..

HI, I suffer quiet horribly from pre menstrual anger. I even get to the point where I hate answering the millions of q's I get bombarded with by my family, and I snap back and tell them to figure it out and use their own brain, when I am like this I get withdrawn and dont want to talk.

My TTOTM is every 20 days and all over the place, sorry for too much info, but I am in some rage most of the time.

I think its because I worry excessively about every little detail and I get serverely overwhelmed very quickly, so everything matters and my irrational thoughts are not ok. Perfectionism might be at play and unrealistic expectations cause anger. I'm not very good at being perfect cause nothing turns out the way I would like

To be totally honest I just wish they would shut the heck up and leave me alonel. I am at a loss, and I am not content when I am like this.

I suffer from being too sensitive and want to be left alone which doenst make sense if I was sensitive I wouldnt want to tell them to go away and I do that alot.

I dont want to go on the pill or have an iud tp alter hormones cause I think they may make me angrier..

Half the time, I just answer without thinking about what they are asking. I dont concentrate, cause I am tense and grumpy.
How do you cope with the internal stuff but not make your family wear it.

I hate this personality.

Can you take some "time off" from your family during these days? Maybe you could warn them to stay away from you a day or two in advance. Tearing up paper or writing down your feelings or angry thoughts and then tearing up the paper can be helpful.

Honestly I think you should talk to a family Doc about this. If you are that altered there may be a serious imbalance or other underlying health issues. You need to take responsibility for your own words and actions. Being direct and honest with a Doc could lead to some specific treatment. Pills etc may not be ideal but if it gives your family a little less fear of your anger, Isn't it worth it? Your family isn't to blame here and I know you know that. Your not happy with this so Go ahead and as a Doc what can be done. I feel for you Hun, It must be hell to feel like that. Very tiring too I imagine.
Hang in there!
With Hope,

Do you know something, reading your post feels like I have written it, I started taking 5-HTP but you can only take it for 3 months at a time, it helps to regulate the hormones naturally, I am on a break from it at the moment and have gone back to the horrendous feelings of anger which are here for about 2.5 weeks out of 4, the only time I really don't feel angry and out of control is when my totm is here!!!!!! Strange I know.

I hope you have managed to get some help if you have I would love to know what, as maybe I could try it......Big hugs to you.
