I get really bad depression for about a week before my period, and I depress other people and generally feel like the whole world is against me, does anyone have any advice or tips on how to cope / feel better?

So far i havent found a way to deal with it either! Stay locked uo in ur room! <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="mad.gif" border="0">
My G/F is a complete bitch when she is 'on' and serverly depressed for upto 2 weeks b4 and a right snappy cow a few days after!
Now she went to the doc's about it cos I could'nt put up with her much more.
Now the doc carried out a hormone balance test, Basiclly she had twice as much (forgive the spelling) estrogen or progestrone (I forget which way round it was) to the other hormone. The 'cure' was simple he prescribed the pill! The doctor had a range of pills each with differing ratio of estrogen to progestrone.
Every two months my g/f would go back to the doc's for a balance test and he would change the pill accordinly to the results. In all it worked to some degree, thou I think she does use it as an excues sometimes!
so ask your doc for a test and see what he says
Hope I helped, thou long winded it was! <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="smile.gif" border="0">
i thought this link might help, as it describes the range of treatments avaliable

Also helps to do exercise as it makes me feel a lot less agressive.
Apparently people who suffer similiarly should go to the doctor. I'm doing so in a few weeks, and I'd probably request a female. Guys don't understand PMT that well. They can check your blood for imbalances and put you on something. I don't particularly trust the Pill though.
well i really shocked myself last night, i was due on, and me and my bf were getting ready to go out. he could not decide what to wear and this got me so angry i burst into tears and ended up throwing my bag across the room <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
i was quite scared by myself! and jamie was brill about it, he just said " you choose what you want me to wear!" bless him.
i know that he dont realise it at times but i do feel really sorry 4 him at times and i am so grateful he sticks by me! <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
i am also on the pill and it does calm my cramps and PMT down but yesterday i felt like i seriously could have killed someone!
