It seems that every 3 or so cycles my famale emotions are a little over board. I think thoughts like my life is useless, no one cares about me and even thoughts like maybe everyone around me would be better off if I weren't here any more. Then once my period starts then those feelings go away. My husband and children love me, even though I can't confide in my husband about my emotions. I do have some issues I need to deal with. Should I talk to the Dr. about antidepressants?

I have depression around my period too. Definitely talk with your doc if it is interfering with your life and psychological well-being.

NO! this country is so over medicated!!!! i get that depressed EVERY period, but i recognize it as just my hormones and know it'll pass in 2 or 3 days. just accept it for what it is, PMS, and don't take brain altering substances just because of a few days every 3 months.

it seems as though the older you get the more common this is; I wouldnt necessary consider antidepressants as of yet, but you may want to look into some counseling just to take care of unresolved issues you may still be holding on to.

it's just your hormones. if it bothers you that much go to the dr. i don't think you need antidepressants tho. remember those commercials a couple years ago about pmdd that's like extreme pms. it could be that...

Its normal, try taking midol. I get very mean right before my period begins. I usually dont realize it but my family does.
