writes:I need help. I will keep this short. I love my wife very much. Things finacially are great. For 2 weeks out of the month she is just great. I mean we have a blast, taking trips, going out she is awesome (the old friend I grew up with). Then one day bam. I dont argue or fight. Very rarely she can get me to yell. I hate to fight. It is the biggest waste of time, but for about a week she is hell on earth (son just hides, he knows to take cover). Then for a week she is a role of the dice all day! Son is grown up...college. So what can I do? How can I get help? we went to a great couples shrink and she just talk the whole time. It was great, the doc was great at getting her to talk about things. But then during that week period she felt she had enough of the doc (shrink). Is this some hormone chemical thing? For real I need help.thanks for reading this, i cant even believe i have to do this.

 She needs to be checked out by a medical doctor. If she hormones are out of wack then he/she can prescribe medication to get everything in sync. If she is okay physically then she may need to see a psychiatrist and see if he/she can figure out why she is having such huge mood swings and the steps that are needed to alleviate them. I'm sure your wife doesn't enjoy being off balance so please encourage her to get this checked out. Good luck to both of you!

 Do you think it could be a bad case of PMT? (ie do her symptoms coincide with her period?) Some women do suffer very badly with their periods and the mental symptoms that follow them and there is a lot that can be done to help, like avoiding certain foods and eating small portions regularly in place of big meals so that your blood sugar is always stable. However, you need to be very careful about when you bring this up if she's likely to fly off the handle.... maybe when she's having a good week ask if everything's ok cos she hasn't seemed very happy recently and if she's open to the conversation tell her you've noticed her moods seem to change when she has her period and it might be a good idea to speak to a dietician about some plans to deal with the mood swings but tread carefully... she might be embarassed or not able to talk about this with you.
