    Yes, yes yes & yes to all of those symptoms...very normal. I find one month I have an OK period & the next it's horrible, I get suicidal feeling too with my PMS. I don't know if it's in the DSM V but it was considered a "mental health" issue recently...."premenstural dysphoric disorder"...

    Hi Rachel, I'm a bloke so I can't empathise but I do know my wife gets very grumpy and irritable a week before her period and one of our friends even went as far as having a hysterectomy due to anxiety and depression she put down to hormonal imbalance! 

    She just kept going on at her GP and consultant who eventually agreed to the procedure after a few years.

      I think I may persue that route, if I don't get any better.
