When I have my PMS it scares me because all I think of is negative thoughts, I hate my life, I feel very sad, cry for no reason and push people that I love away from me. I know it's wrong but I can't help it and I just want to dissapear far far away. Please help me, what should I do????

The are almost as many treatments for PMS as there are symptoms. Consultation with your gynecologist is necessary to develop the optimum program for you. Treatment strategies might include a number of different approaches:
1. Exercise is the single most useful treatment. The best types are running, swimming, taking an aerobics class or using an exercise bicycle. The activity must be moderately intense and last for at least 30 minutes without a break. It's best to do this three times a week regularly and then increase it to daily just prior to your period.
2. Lower body weight is helpful even if you're only 10 or 20 pounds overweight. Fatty tissue in a woman's body produces female hormones. These add to those produced by your ovary and other glands and may increase any PMS symptom. Consult weight loss for assistance.
3. A diet with less sugar, less salt and more complex carbohydrates may be helpful. Complex carbohydrates are starches like rice, bread, pasta, potatoes, corn, peas and beans. Try eating small amounts every 3 hours. That's 6 small meals a day!
4. Calcium and magnesium supplements help some women. Calcium will also help you build strong bones to guard against osteoporosis later in life.
5. Vitamin E (1000 units per day) often reduces breast tenderness.
6. Unless you have an excellent diet you should take a multi-vitamin every day. The ingredients are usually the same so the cheapest is probably the best choice.
7. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.
8. NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ibuprofen and naproxen are useful for pain relief. They are more effective if taken as soon as the headache or cramps begin. Don't wait until the discomfort is severe.
9. Hormonal medications may be tried. If women with PMS take birth control pills, 1/3 get better, 1/3 get worse and 1/3 have no change. Depo-Provera helps many women but if you don't like it you're stuck with it for 3 months. Danazol (Danocrine) is worth a try in some cases.
10. Diuretics (water pills) generally do not help very much. If used they should contain a potassium sparing ingredient like spironolactone.
11. Tranquilizers can be useful in some situations. One of the benzodiazepine class like alprazolam (Xanax) would be reasonable to try. Buspirone (Buspar) can also be effective.
12. The newest and possibly best treatment is the use of GnRHa (gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists) with low dose estrogen/progesterone added back. This is very expensive and would only be used in severe cases.

I want to ask you one question, too. Are you taking birth control? Sometimes the best treatment is to start taking birth control or if you are switch to a different brand. If you talk to your doctor he may prescribe you some behind the counter medication to release your tension and stress due to PMS. PMS is not really a problem it is just due to your hormonal level. They need to be controled so you can be confortable. My best advice would be to just talk to your doctor or go to a women's health clinic if you feel uncomfortable talking to your doc about it. I feel for you and don't worry, you will be fine.

PMS is terrible and not understood by so many people especially boyfriends, partners and husbands.
I used to suffer terrible and feel low, hated myself and then would punish myself by being horrid to the ones I loved as i did not think they could love me when i was so horrible.
I tried many things and have now grown out of it. The thing that worked for me was Starflower oil. It is in most health shops, it is also good for you skin. It really worked wonders.
Goodluck and I hope you work through it.

I had the same problems and it may just be PMS to handle that would be to take paprin or midol. But the things you say that you feel sound more like depression. See a doctor! It really can't get worse!

you may have something called pmss or ppms, anyway its a serious condition and there is medication available. talk to your physician about it. I have a friend who went through this. She takes her medication during the last week of birth control pills,(b4 the sugar pills) and shes fine. Other things might include getting a little more sleep, some sleepytime tea is good for aches and pains, but deifnately go to the docs and tell them your symptoms.

THE ATTITUDE,THE MOOD SWINGS ITS ALL NORMAL AND WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH IT FOR CENTURIES. TRY SOME MYDOL OR A PAIN RELIEVER BUT THE BEST THING IS TO TAKE A WARM BATH AND RELAX FOR A COUPLE DAYS. THERE IS NO REASON CRYING OVER SPILLED MILK. I LEARNED TO ENJOY THE FACT THAT WHEN I GOT IT THAT WAS ANOTHER MONTH I DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING PREGNANT!! YOUR A WOMAN HONEY WE HAVE GREAT ADVANTAGES AND A FEW SET BACKS ITS YOUR LOOK ON IT THAT MAKES IT WHAT IT IS TO YOU.

Take birth control pills.. it's the hormones that are released during your period that make you feel this way, The pill gives you a steady dose of them, and makes the release during a period less.. you should feel a little better.

A heavy bag. After I have hit one for a bit I feel great. Don't forget to either wrap your hands or wear boxing gloves to protect your knuckles tho.
