Hello Everyone,

I have endometriosis and it is killing my mood days before period. I'm so up and down. Even my husband can't deal with my mood changing. Now it affect my relationship and i still can't control the mood changes during period time and ovulation time.

Can anyone please share your experiences and how you go through it ?

I'm really struggling even though i have my partner but i kinda feel I'm so alone.

Hello Bambii,

I get you. My PMS got really bad a couple of years ago, I ended up noticing that maybe I had PMDD. The GP suggested either hormone therapy or antidepressants even though my moods were really bad just for two weeks.

That being said, in terms of lifestyle did you do any changes to manage endometriosis?

Besides bad mood swings, I also had terrible insomnia, crazy sugar craving, and constipation. I started taking supplements to treat it and cycle syncing. In terms of supplements, it depends on what symptoms you get. What are your symptoms?

Aww blessed,dont leave hope, change your gp if the recent gp cant help you enough,they usually recommend some hormonal therapies and contraceptive with ur anti depressants to control your hormonal craziness.Please talk to them in detail ,metain a diary to track your symptoms and discuss them each and every thing .They may also refer to CBT .

This is my situation .My sister encouraged me to take CPD oil when I felt like that.I tried it and it has really helped.It calms me down and takes away the rawness of the emotions I feel.They are still there but under control .Hope that helps.x

I can empathise with you

I'm like bear with a sore head. My partner only has to look at me the wrong way and I explode. I have no control over it which is frustrating. I feel like a loose cannon and it can sometimes take me hours to come out of it I even have to leave the room/house at times. Beginning to think I need anger management. I think the pain I get has a lot to do with my moods to as obviously it makes me grumpy and snappy. I was meant to get referred to a pain clinic several times but I never get any contact with them. I think that would help me.

Agnus castus. It’s worked wonders for me, I had to come off it this month for a blood test and yesterday when my period was coming I was like a psychopath, all over the place, I never knew how much it was working until then ! It has literally saved my marriage .

It sounds like you are suffering from pmdd,as I am in the same boat my gp recommend me to increase my anti depressant dose a week before my periods,some how it controls mood swings.It is cause of hormonal flectuation before periods and ovulation.You have to contact your gp and discuss your symptoms ,he/she suggests you the treatment according to your symptoms,also mentain a diary to track your monthly symptoms,it will be very helpful while you are going to discuss your symptoms with your dctr.Get well soon xxx

I started citalopram for anxiety depression and severe mood swings/ rage. M moods effected all my relationships. It got really bad. Was so angry and aggressive one second then suicidal the next. I told my gp. He referred me to therapist. I talked to her and she said I had medical induced depression from my endo. The citalopram has been a godsend. It took 8 weeks to kick in but I totally have control over myself again. No more severe moods. My relationships are healed. I even deal with my endo better.

Not what you're looking for?
