Are there any medical options for calming PMSing?
I'm going to talk to my doctor about it but I want to know if I have an options before I go.
I'm 17 and I've always been told Pms will calm down as you get older. Mine was never that bad but it's slowly been getting worse. And compared to my friends, mine is really bad.
Instead of feeling sad or becoming aggressive I've become super suicidal. As in for one week, I seriously feel like killing myself mostly for no reason.
I can't eat without becoming physically ill. I can't go into a deep sleep and I feel horribly exhausted because of it. I also become very anti social, I mean I love being around people when I'm not on my period but while I'm pmsing I start having anxiety attacks if I'm even standing within a foot of someone, including my family.
I don't understand any of this and why I don't feel like this most time just around the time of my period, so that's I'm assuming it's my PMSing getting worse.

Yes, there is. Really severe PMS is called PMDD (Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder). Usually a doc will treat it with SSRIs (antidepressants, basically), although you can also sometimes see excellent improvement by making lifestyle and dietary changes. It's maybe worth talking to a therapist as a supplement to seeing your doctor.

This could be more of a cause to depression than pms itself. Pms is hormones growing an this can cause feeling a bit gloomy and irraitable and bloated but with suicide anxiety insomnia and feeling very depressed is a very clear sign of depression.
