Alice,

This is to the reader who wrote the PMS! question:

I was exactly the same as you for six horrible years of my life. I went TOTALLY CRAZY a week before my periods and was what I look back on as someone who was behaving like they should have been commited to a mental home! I was angry, really, really angry then the next minute I'd be crying, a complete mess! 4 years ago I came off the pill... within a month I was like a totally different person! I was calm and never lost my cool and am so much more in control and mellow. I get one day a month where I'm a little sensitive (I call it my icky day) but that's all I get now. I can't believe that I spent 6 years of my life and lost a boyfriend and a friend because of something as stupid as the pill. I don't know what it did to me or why... all I know is that I was out of control then and now I'm NORMAL again. My boyfriend now would rather use other forms of birth control than have me act like that.... believe me.... IT'S WORTH IT! I hope this helps you, I know where your at and it's just awful. You feels so bad because you really don't want to act like that but you really aren't in control at all are you! Hopefully your boyfriend will stick by you and understand.... good luck
