I feel so depressed and at times so angry. This is just severe pms, which stays with me for a week and a bit, but it's so hard to get through.
I feel like my mum is sick of me and finds me pathetic.
I feel like my friends don't care about me, even my ex who I consider a best friend wouldn't want to hear about my problems.
If I told my sister she'll be like 'other people have it worse than you' a line she has used since I was about 6 or 7.
I've been trying to eat healthy and swallowing vitamins as well as painkillers, but nothing is working. I might do some exercising.
I feel so alone, so useless.
I'll only be like this for a few more day, then a few weeks of feeling content but then the feelings of depression and anger will be back. And each month it gets worse.
I'm going to see the doctor next week maybe but I think I'm more qualified than him. He really hasn't helped me out one bit.
Anyway, I could with some hugs. :(

I'm sorry to hear you are going through all of this. It's good that you're doing your best to look out for yourself and your health during this time. Reaching out for support is also healthy. Know this and hopefully your self-esteem will at least feel better.

Sending you many hugs!

I don't know you, but best wishes.

There's strength in community, and it looks like people here are looking out for you.

Be well, you're not alone.

Sorry to hear that your feeling that way.

I also got depressed today for no good reason. People ask why and I don't have an answer. My head gets heavy/pressure behind the eyes so that it almost hurts to think. Sleep seems to help me if I can get enough.

I wish I was better at cheering people up. Just hang in there.

I would, except now I've decided I'd rather make people feel worse.

Haha, that's ok. I feel much better now.

Thanks for the kind words of support everyone.

Hopefully I will receive medication for my condition soon.

That sucks. :(

It's annoying when people say "other people have it worse than you". It's like, REALLY?! :roll: That shouldn't mean you just have to put up with crap.

Big hugs!! !! !! ! I hope your family will someday understand better.

Just remember it is NOT your fault that you cant do some things they can. Its not even a bad thing, its just different.

I'm a spiritual person and I believe everyone is the way they are for a reason. Your no different .

Your perfectly fine the way you are and your doing great!! ! people may try and use your disability to be abusive to you. But I KNOW your a good person and you shouldn't be ashamed of who you are.


Pm me to vent any time day or night. It is sad that your family don't want to listen and help. I will be a friendly ear if you want .

I remember when my family told me exactly what your family is telling you. But once I had someone who cared I started to get better. I'm off all my meds and all it took was someone to care!

You just need someone to care, and I may not know you but I do care!

Pm me any time and if you want my email I'll give it to you.

Your not alone you have wp and the people here.

I'll be your friend if you want!! !

Insert hug here.

I get that way sometimes, too; I've been rather depressed lately over whether or not I'll find a new job at the end of the year.

Hey pensieve,
u gave me such a nice input the other day so I want to give you something back...
I used to have very bad PMS too when I was your age.
Exercise really does help! You don't have to spend hours in the Gym or socialize to do it.
I run every day 25-30 minutes (I used to run long distance but I have no more need or want for that) and I swim every second day.You get feel good hormones and exercise makes you feel more confident.
I am sure my daughter feels like you sometimes too, when I "nag" on her, but I really do love her and I am proud of her. I bet your mom feels the same!
And sisters, well let's put it this way I am glad I never had one I had enough dealing with my older brothers :O) don't take it to serious.
Friends maybe do get annoyed when you get in a bad mood every month on a regular basis ( I knew my husband did :O) ) PMS can be a real pain...
PLEASE do some exercise you can do every day for at least 25 Min. but it really has to get your heart rate up o.k. and stick with it.
If it gets to boring change to a different workout for some time.
Maybe you don't need meds after all...
Hug from me too...
