For the 2-3 days before my periods starts I feel awful! Not just a little moody but down right suicidal. I am taking with my doctor and seeing if there is something that can be done...it's awful. During those 2-3 days I just feel so hopeless like life just isn't worth living. Like I am losing what is left of my mind.
