Question: Is it depression or bad pms.?
Okay I always got fairly normal pms but for the past two periods that I have had I noticed that my pms has gotten a little bad. I can't stop crying and it takes me a while to stop or calm down. I get really angry and want everyone to stay away from me. I always end up snapping at someone . I am not normally like this then when it is over I am okay. I have a hard time sleeping at night too, Is it depression or just really bad pms .? I'm embarrassed to go the doctor I don't want to go on pills either please help asapHealth Question & Answer
Answers:
Don't be embarassed. Depression happens to a LOT of people. Sometimes it's temporary, other times it's long-term. I seriously think you are experiencing depression. You sound a lot like me before I was diagnosed.
The key to getting better is understanding that depression doesn't make you less of a person. It's a real medical condition that effects your brain and the way you perceive things. (Glass half full or half empty is a good comparision.)
Please see your doctor. Tell him/her what you are feeling and when you are feeling that way. The Dr will probably ask you a few questions and either prescribe meds or refer you to another Dr for a more extensive evaluation. If the Dr prescribes meds, take them every day. The meds won't work immediately and can take up to 3-4 weeks until they reach their full effect.
Good luck. Health Question & Answer
