About a week before I start, I feel so short tempered. It’s not the typical weepy/sad PMS symptoms — I become super impatient and quick to anger. Everyone and everything ticks me off so easily. I become a giant ball of rage and it’s been really bothering me and getting me down. Does anything help you all with this? I’ve tried high intensity exercise, sleep, minimal caffeine…I still feel like the female version of the hulk lol

Before, during and after.
I actually have a small window where I’m not annoyed by the existence of other people.
Yesss I just started a period of SSRI for this, because my mood didn’t just shift, it fucking plummeted. Irritation, anger, depression. All 10 days before period. So I told my doctor I wanted Escitalopram after researching PMDS and tried this starting on the day of my ovulation and took 10 mg each day until the first day of my period. Worked well actually! Well worth a try.
Look into PMDD – might explain intense feelings 🙂
Yup! There’s, maybe, four days where I’m not irritated by everything in my house.
