Hello:

First,I just wanted to send some (((HUGS)))) your way because I can certainly empathize with how you feel! Is there any way that you could go to a spa,or a beauty shop or beauty salon for a day and have a full day of pampering? Manicure,pedicure,your hair washed and styled,and best of all a massage? Sometimes we women just need to get away from everything and everybody that is driving us nuts and upsetting us,and we need some,"Me Time." It isn't considered selfish to have some,"Me Time,"you need time to yourself in order to feel better and be able to deal with the everyday stresses of your life! I hope this has been helpful and good luck!! ;-)

Stress reduction. Performing muscle relaxation or deep-breathing exercises may help reduce symptoms such as headaches, anxiety or insomnia. Patients may also benefit from scheduling stressful events for the week after their period.
Rest. Getting adequate rest is important. The body may have different sleep requirements at different times during a woman’s menstrual cycle. There are also vitamin supplements and other products that may help alleviate PMS symptoms. They include:Calcium. Taking 1,200 milligrams daily may reduce the physical and psychological symptoms of PMS.
Magnesium. Taking 200 milligrams daily may help reduce fluid retention, breast tenderness and bloating in women with PMS.
Vitamin B6. Taking 50 to 100 milligrams daily of vitamin B6 and other B vitamins may help some women with PMS symptoms.
Vitamin E. Taking 400 international units (IU) daily may ease PMS symptoms by reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are hormone-like substances that cause cramps and breast tenderness.
Herbal remedies. Some herbs may be marketed as relieving PMS symptoms, including black cohosh, ginger, red raspberry leaf, dandelion tea, chaste tree berry and evening primrose oil. However, studies have not proven the use of herbs to be effective and the Food and Drug Administration does not regulate herbs, so their safety and effectiveness have not been proven.
Natural progesterone creams. Creams derived from wild yams and soybeans have been marketed as relieving PMS symptoms. Some women experience relief, but their effectiveness has not been proven through scientific studies.
Because the cause of PMS is not known, the condition cannot be prevented. However, many of the lifestyle changes recommended for the treatment of PMS, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, minimal alcohol and caffeine consumption and adequate rest, may be useful in preventing symptoms from developing or getting worse.

FIRST THING!!! Take some B vitamins. I think B12 is the one you want to take because if you are deficient, it can cause you to feel horrible (which you sound like you do). When I was taking birth control, they told me to take B vitamins if I started feeling really grouchy.

Second thing! Congrats for not killing anyone!!

I have a different "take" on PMT/PMS... Usually if something is bothering me, it bothers me MORE when I am PMSing (I'm American, it's PMS here hehe). When it bothers me a lot, I realize there is something in my life that I probably need to deal with and so I use my PMS power (yes, I call it that) as a tool to figure that out. I've backed some people off who were taking advantage of me, only because of the *power* of PMS.

Taking that into account, sometimes you just need to take a day off of work, chill out, get balanced, stay away from people (do you see the connection of taking care of yourself?). When I am in a bad place, I PMS a lot more. I hope you are in a position to take a day off, and chill out. Otherwise, maybe you need to have a controlled temper tantrum on someone who has been stomping on your boundaries and needs to be backed out. My sympathies and I hope you have a good coping mechanism.
