: What you are describing can be consistent with Pre-mentrual Syndrome. This can get worse as you age and get closer to menopause due to the fluctuation of hormones being more. Often an SSRI medication can help such a Paxil or Prozac and also, as long as you do not smoke, using birth control medication can help your symptoms improve.
