PMDD Madness by Christy 6/24
- jess said:
  I know what you are going through, I was having relationships broken up because "i am too emotional and unstable" I am 26, and for the past 7 years, I thought I had depression, OCD and anxiety, but this year, I am realizing how my mood is related to my cycle. The symptoms got worse.
  I was on Aviane for around 2 years back in 2008, and now I remembered I got very emotional after I stopped Aviane. I was not a super happy person since little, but the PMDD made everything alot worse.
  I have a natural 35 days menstrual cycle, my PMDD last for 2-3 weeks each month
  I feel very angry and sad about everything in life, I would feel so much hatred for my friends and family, and a very noticeable physical symptom is that my nipples will feel sore during this time
  I have decided to go back to taking Aviane, I hope that it could bring me back to a more normal life. I have try a few different brands of birth control pills, Aviane is the only one where I won't feel sick from taking it.

[Diary of a Fat Woman] That Time of the Month by Jeany Miller 4/9

  So Jeany, you forgot to mention the chocolate! That's what I crave. Also I find if you can do it, when eating the "bad" foods - also throw in something good like egg whites with powder sugar donuts. (I know you mention it for protein) it is possible because I've done it myself. It gives you the sweet yet salty taste we desire!
  
  My suggestion for chips is eat them with green peppers or cucumbers! I say this like it's easy. I'm the one with an apple and a banana sitting on my desk yet I opted for a frosted banana cup cake this morning instead of eating my "real" banana.4/9

  Interesting! I had been thinking of trying a Vitamin B supplement for other reasons, but it sounds like I should be looking for B-rich foods instead.1/25
