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. You can also check the state of nj crisis webpage: http://www.Nj.Gov/humanservices/dmhs/services/centers/.

I would encourage : You to see both your gynecologist as well as a psychiatrist. It is important that you let both physicians know what you symptoms are and how they correlate with your menstrual cycle. Take care.
