3 years ago when I went to my OBGYN and told her about some of the things I was going through, emotionally and physcially she told me I was suffering from PMDD. It was good to have a name to it and be able to take medication to help keep it in check.
It is basically PMS on steroids. There were days when I felt like I had no control of my life, I would get very angry and agitated. It was just not like me. If things don't seem right for you, I encourage you to talk to your doctor or do some research. It has made all of the difference in my life.
I thought perhaps it was postpartum depression because it happened soon after Peyton was born. However, I didn't have the alienation symptoms associated with the baby. Quite the opposite, I couldn't get enough of my baby boy. I also knew it was more than a mild depression because there were other emotions involved.
I surely hope this is not an indication of menapause. I will be in big trouble, so will Matt!
