writes: I love my boyfriend. I love him so much but every month, about a week before my period is due I just lose all interest. I start questioning myself, him, our relationship, everything and I hate it because I know as soon as the week is out I'll hate myself for even thinking those things and be back to loving him with everything I have. I'm on birth control, could that have something to do with it? I'm scared that I'll do something I'll regret when I'm having those low days before my period. I guess my main concern here is; is it normal for my feelings to change this drastically and so specifically?

(it's like asking is it normal to have asthma - well yes it's common but doesn't mean you should do nothing about to alleviate or prevent it...cos you could die from it) It's a horrible way to live, you can lose your job(s) over it, you can make irrational major purchases and end up sinking into debt, you could ruin relationships by behaving horribly... and you'll be making your significant other miserable in the long run too so you shouldn't stay like this you should take steps to even out your moods. it's probably hormonal so you need to see a doctor.

I know it's not your fault, but your behaviour can torture him in the long run. Consult a doctor. Preferably an Endocrinologist or a Gynaecologist.

HI
Many women suffer mood swings like this, it;s were your hormones become unbalanced. I would speak with your Dr and maybe he/she can change the birth control for a different one, see if that works. In the mean time explain to your boyfriend that your hormones are all over the place at the moment, so this particular time of the month you should stay away for a few day's. It may sound a little drastic BUT better than maybe saying or doing something you will regret.
