I get really bad PMS a week before my period. I get so emotional and I feel like my whole world is falling apart and I can't stop crying. Luckily it only lasts for one day but that day is hell as my whole family has to deal with it, I can't stand the sight of my hubby for that day and nothing he says helps, he only makes me worse. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to deal with this, maybe herbal supplements or something like that? Thank you!

I can't suggest any herbal supplements, but do you know what day is going to be your bad day? Perhaps if you could plan for it it would be better for everyone. If it's a week end day, hubby should take the kids out for the entire day, visit his side of the family or go out on an outing and allow you to have some space to yourself. If it's a weekday, could some family be responsible for the kids that day? I'd also speak to my GP about what's going on.
I get very bad pmt! My GP has tried to put me on the pill to help with this but that seems to make me worse!! I am now taking evening primrose oil daily, a good women's multivitamin and St. John's wort! The St. John's wort seems to help alleviate done of the tension/sadness around that time! I also find eating well and getting heaps of exercise during the month really helps aswell! Hope this helps! It is so awful xx
Get your thyroid checked too. Sometimes it can release to much hormones.
