Accepted Answer

See your Doctor!: For many of us, the roller-coaster of our ovary hormones can indeed make us crazy!  our brains actually work differently from day to day as our hormone levels change.  As we approach menopause, we can have very large swings in those hormones.
Two ways of help can be medicines like prozac, (fluoxetine) which reduce the symptoms; or birth control pills can knock down the level of hormones. See ob/gyn! good luck!
