For women only : Mood swings

I do not get mood swings, but I heard you can take herbs to control your mood. 5HTP, St John's wart, Calms, Chamomile tea....

I have mood swings all the time...............I blame it on having a husband, kids and a mortgage LOL

First of all I'd say talk to your doctor and make sure there isn't any physical or emotional cause for your mood swings. Personally you can work at controlling your grouchiness so that even though you're feeling it, you don't let it show. You are young! As we get older most of us realize that it isn't fair or very mature to take our emotions out on other people. Part of the maturing process is learning to control our own behavior. For instance, there are days I would go to school feeling awful, but I never allowed it to show or took it out on my students.

Yes I have them too.I have heard you can take medicines to control that but have never tried them.Infact I tell everyone at home How I am feeling and they should better stay away from my line of fire and they all cooperate with me to handle them It often happens just before my periods come.

For women only!!!!! I AM A MAN and I don't understand why I cannot post about this. A man can know a lot of things about mood swings in females. Do not forget that men usually lives with women! :-)

YES! Definitely! Especially during PMS. I'm easily angry, sad. I usually take time for my self during PMS to watch comedies. It's helpful.

Yeah...I get mood swings too. Of course the men complain...but then they don't help either. I know I get mad because of certain things he does or doesn't do...etc. Just try and take a deep breath and try not to stress out. If it is bad, talk to you doctor. Maybe they can suggest something...

i was born under the sign of Taurus, and we are known to be very moody. but it does kind of worsen days before my period. i know it's a hormonal thing, yet i couldn't stop feeling guilty for being a grouch.

Yes i know what you mean, I get like that most of time. Very Moody.. I to don't know why this happends My hubby always blames it on the time of the month.. But it happends other times of the month also.. so i don't thing its not that.. Hope thing works out for you..

This is a good discussion for men too. At least we could read it and learn about women's mood swings.. I really enjoy reading the discussions.. I've seen it many times from my girl friends...

i'm pretty stable, but dependent on my vitamin-H (Hugs). even thru the PMS periods, that vit settles me :)

I'm a very moody person by nature, and horomones don't help at all. I've been with my bf for 3 years and he knows now that if I come to him feeling almost depressed and asking him if I'm a good person, then it's probably almost that time of month. Now that I know that every time I get so moody for no reason at all, I just need to watch myself and make sure I don't get upset over nothing because it'll pass in about a week.

Yes I had them before I had a hysterectomy and now take hormones. I think it is just a growing part of a female physique, but it could also be something medical. Depending on your age and monthly cycle regularity you may want to see a DR. Sometimes life, weather, circumstances just causes us to have some good high days and some very low days. I use to be very emotional one minute and very hateful the next, was way too young for menopause but it was female related and if I remember correctly I had to come off caffeine and change a few things in my diet and start taking vitamins. So see your Gynecologist and let them decide if anything medical is going on, if not it could just be life or your diet. I am sure it is a very simple reason and can be fixed in no time!

yape i have this problem as well! being a canerain which is the most MOODY star in the zodic world! :) but to make it worse My PMS pre.mess.stress!i fight for no reason!well i heard 1 should drink fresh jucies and stuff during it...my mood depends r so Not incontrol of my self!ur so rite even i can b happy i moment and any Simple thought or talk can make me sad/angey! sick of it myself!!:S

Take heart, it goes away after menopause. Actually, going through meno. can be pretty rough, but I had no problems.

Yes i have it too. Its very obvious weeks before my period. And especially im taking birth control pills, so every now and then, i have this unpredictable sway of moods. But as time goes by, i was able to control it or even prevent it from coming..hehehe..

Not exectly like that but i confess sometime it happens - specially 'coz of disturbing thoughts to u'r success my dear friend....

women do tend to have more mood swing than men because our hormones fluctuate more often than theirs do. and when your partner doesnt understand your mood swings it can make you even more frustrated. also being under a lot of stress can do this as well, one minute you feel like youve got everything under control and then the next the stress just overwhelms you and you get frustrated and upset. if its severe though talking to a doctor may help and they could do some tests to see what it could be, people with blood sugar problems or thyroid problems can also experience a lot of mood swings so any change that comes on its usually a good idea to mention to your doctor. of course mayby your just having severe PMS:)
