PMS exaggerates : Feelings due to the hormonal changes.. It can be very unsettling, but usually lifts after a few days. It can give women insight into things that are bothering them. Although it may not be exactly how you feel the rest of the month, you can use it to identify things you would like to change. Meet with a therapist and talk about these insights. If you feel suicidal talk about it with a therapist.

Good to ask for help: If you are thinking of harming yourself now, you should go to an er, where they can help stabilize you and keep you safe. If not currently, see your primary dr or you can dial 2-1-1 in nj for psychological crisis referral.
