Emotional Changes Before That Time of the Month

I have a question or two. I hope to find something of a little answer to this question. I usually end up having mood swings really bad. I become cranky and unbearable to be around just before I start my period. However this month, it was the total opposite. I was well my hormones where really high in the sexual sense.I was wondering if it has anything to do with PMS or it just another thing that comes along with a woman's mentrual period?

" The whole pms thing is crazy. With every little change that happens in your life, a little change happens there too. Weight change? Period change. New friends? New PMS stuff. Different house? you get the idea. Think about the past three months. Have a lot of changes happened? If so, its probably showing its impact on your period. So hey, hyper sexual tenancies beat irrational moodswings in my book:] "

" I don't get the sexual part of hte hormones(thankfuly), but mood swings I get bad. Cranky, irritable, depressed, lack of energy, spike of energy. I have lack of interest for anything. I change into a basket case. "

" Take in consideration on what you eat also that can influence the way you feel. Eating lots of salts can increase water in your body and throw many brain functions off. As well as foods that are estrogenic, like soy. Maybe your diet has to be looked at too. For me soy makes me sick and so do foods that increase estrogen in me. "
