OK, for about 3 years, I've been in the stage where you're hit with all these hormone changes, mood swings, etc. Sometimes I wonder if my family even remembers that it's normal for that to happen. I've always been real sensitive, but now more than ever. My family just sees it as "You've got a bad attitude" or "Why do you always have to argue, or have the last word, or disagree..." I don't purposely act this way, and they're being kind of insensitive about it. I'm always getting lectured about it, but when I try to express my feelings, they don't believe me, they think I'm just making excuses. What should I do?

Get into a therapist, you need to talk to someone that will validate your feelings and help you thru things that drag you down... and do not waste your time trying to get validation from thoes that will not listen and not talk...
Some times they are the ones that are causing you to need to talk and they will not step up to the plate and take the responsibility for their actions...

As you did not put down your age...I will have to answer this twice.
If you are young and having hormone changes due to growing...this will pass.
If you are older, than this is normal. Change of life...is not easy. Some people fly through it...while others get all sorts of side effects. A doctor can give you meds, but they put you in the high risk level for cancer, high blood pressure and other things. However...if you can find a copy of the 2002 AMA - American Medical Association Journal...there is an article in there about a study of a med that does not promote cancer...etc., which I know works. Ask your doctor...he/she will know. I dont know if I am allowed to mention the drugs name on Yahoo, which is the only reason why I am not doing so.
As far as your family...no, they dont understand. If your leg has never been broken...how could you comment to someone whos leg is broken on whether it hurts or not? You can only give your opinions.
Stop telling them about it...because they are only going to be negative. This way you dont have to deal with the problem...PLUS their attitudes towards it...talk to professional people who will understand and help.

Because you are experiencing hormonal and chemical changes in your body you need to consult with a physician for something you can take over-the-counter or by prescription. Another alternative is visit WebMD and do a little research on hormonal and chemical changes in women and see what vitamins/supplements you can take that don't have weird side effects and are natural, which means a better response from your body.
People care, but don't understand the changes women go thru. No matter what you say, they won't understand. As soon as you start applying the advice given to you by the suggestions above, they'll just tell you, "Good to see you back". Good Luck.
