I've been on the pill for years but came off it because I'm on my own at the moment and the doctor kept bugging me to stop it.

Month after month the symptoms have been coming back. But my god last week I suffered. I have depression anyway but I have never felt so bad. I was snappy and moody and crying my eyes out constantly. My face was covered in spots and I NEVER get spots anymore.

I cannot believe how moody and depressed I was. I feel so much better now but I can't face going through that next time. I'm gonna go to the doc and see what he can do.

Have any of you ever been this bad?

I'm like this every month and then when it starts I have cramps that are so horrible! I've debated going in but they usually don't take it so seriously. (my doctor anyhow)
I feel your pain!

Yeah Marie, i have had times like that too.
I also suffer from depression so it really doesnt help.
Can make you feel so angry and then teary at the slightest thing i find.
Also cant concentrate on anything, and feel like am going mad at times.
It's rough!!
I tend to just shut myself away from the world when am like that.

I went back on the pill to help with my periods cause they were making me ill and i dreaded each month, not just for the physical things but the moods.
They say evening primrose oil works, i did try but wasnt consistent with it.
Also excersise helps with depression, but then when you feel like you have been hit by a bus, the last thing you think of doing is excersise, am i right?

I am a bit better now since going back on the pill, i can only have the mini pill due to migranes so have to take it every day without fail at the same time.
I set an alarm for it.
My period has just gone and wasnt too bad this month.
Just felt drained and a teeny bit angry.
Hopefully next month will be the same.
What gets me is have been with my man for 14 years and yet he still doesnt get why i act the way i do and argues back. lol silly man!

Hope you can get some help anyway to make it easier on you.
Sometimes it really stinks being a woman! xxx

Does that really help? my doctor told me I was not a candidate for the pill due to the migraine history I have. So there is a difference between certain types of the "pill"? I am really not very knowledgeable with this stuff! all I know is that since I had children it's 20x worse!

Evening Primrose Oil really helps with all these symptoms and more - but you need to take quite a high dose pill every day, it can take a month or two before you will notice it working and the longer you are taking it the more it works - really good for menopause too! - but that doesn't concern you yet

Does it really help? I'll give that a go then. I honestly was so depressed with it last week it was that bad. I'll do anything to avoid that again. What do I do just take capsules?

I am getting Evening Primrose Oil capsules in Holland and Barratt tomorrow. I never knew the benefits before it was mentioned here and I read online about it. I'm getting the highest dose. I'll try anything to ease the symptoms.
