Anyone here found a solution for "extreme" mood swing?

Question

I'm desperately trying to find tips to cope and subside my extreme mood swing. I think it's hormonal related as I always feel extreme 3 days prior my period come.

Please don't judge, but the reason why I'm desperately looking for help/ideas is because I went suicidal/abusivd on the weekend over the stupidest thing. (My boyfriend reminded me he couldn't see me and me feeling left out led to self harm. ) it's crazy as I would usually just cry etc.

I'm quite ashamed and shocked of my unacceptable behaviour and response. As soon my period came I was fine.

I'm already seeing counselling but right now whatever it is, period related , is driving me insane.

Any tips ....? Thanks

Answer

Maybe talk to your doctor about the best possible way to treat and/or deal with it as they have the knowledge. I'd probably recommend CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) or anger management, and maybe guided meditation and practicing mindfulness. I was somewhat the same while taking birth control and once I got off of it I was fine within just a few days, not sure if you relate to that at all but if you do, I'd look into taking another form of birth control or stopping it completely.

Answer

Are you on any type of bc? Do you have a history of hormonal imbalance issues?
