Two nights ago I was so depressed,unable to sleep ,overly sensitive about family matters and crying heart brokenly,feeling hopeless...and here I am tonight grinning and 'normal ' again,full of energy and not worried in the least about family ups and downs .

Arrgh!

  Only this morning I felt too sad to go grocery shopping.Now,it's kind of hard to remember how low I felt.Soon as AF came the depression went.

 I've always felt sad before that time of month ,but this depression was way more severe..it happened last year for a couple of cycles too.

  Does anyone know how to treat this naturally?

Do any ladies here suffer from depression in the days leading up to that time of month?

      I found out in my menopause that I am Progesterone intolerant.  I have suffered all of my menstrual life with no one ever telling me why.    Good luck with it Fairywren x

      Hi Karen,yes that's the confusing bit..I haven't had depression like that since last year and all the other symptoms of hormones being out of whack are gone(cysts,breast tenderness ,irregular cycles,brain fog)
