Pre-menstrual-syndrome causes suicidal tendencies

"SALLY'S STORY" - Sally is a 38 year-old woman who works as a recruitment consultant. She was married previously, but is now divorced.

Sally seriously contemplated taking a whole bottle of pills when she was pre-menstrual. Fortunately, she saw the light in time and relates the story as if she were talking about someone else.

I really thought I was mentally ill, mentally inadequate. I thought I was cracking up. I was frightened to tell people how I felt because they might have thought I was a loony.

I did seriously contemplate suicide once. It was a bad time for me anyway as I was under a lot of stress. Being pre-menstrual was the last straw and I did contemplate taking a whole bottle of pills. Fortunately, I have some faith in God and I'm sure that's what eventually pulled me together and stopped me.

I felt that I was unbalanced and I couldn't stand the pain that the depression inside was causing any more. I just wanted to go to sleep so that it would all end.

Pre-menstrual-syndrome meant the pain of depression. I felt absolute despair pre-menstrually and I cannot express in words how desolate this made me feel. I really thought I was mentally ill. I thought my mind was taking over. Anything and everything was too stressful for me, and I felt I just couldn't cope.

STRESS - I would say stress definitely did influence my symptoms. When I was under stress I tended to get a runny tummy, therefore I don't suppose I got the full benefit of my food. It's like a vicious circle to me. When I'm under stress I don't eat, and then as a result I feel even more stressed.

However, since I have been using nutritional supplements I am definitely less affected by stress. I seem much more able to cope with stressful situations, which I certainly wouldn't have been able to cope with before.

I tried vitamin B6. It wasn't any help, but I think I know why. I discovered I have a sensitivity to yeast, and the B6 tablets I was taking were yeast-based. I found that the B6 would perk me up and then I would drop down mentally and have a terrible bloated tummy.

I also tried evening primrose oil, which helped a little. I was prescribed anti-depressants, which were no help at all. They just made me feel out of control. They controlled a bit of the depression, but they just made me void of other emotions.

I didn't really recognise my symptoms as pre-menstrual-syndrome. That was the worst thing, looking back. I just knew I was suffering with depression and agoraphobia regularly, in fact towards the end most of the time. When I first heard that agoraphobic symptoms could be part of the pre-menstrual-syndrome it gave me a great sense of relief. I felt a bit better just knowing that my symptoms were part of pre-menstrual-syndrome. It gave me a far greater understanding of my suffering.

I thought I would give the nutritional approach to pre-menstrual-syndrome a try as I felt so unwell, and I was so sick of taking anti-depressants and sleeping tablets. I had to do something as I honestly felt I was cracking up.

Imagine having to live with the secret that you thought you were mentally ill. As a divorcee, Sally had to fend for herself.

Her job and her income were exceedingly important and she obviously thought these were threatened by her severe symptoms. She had tried several solutions, like our other patients, but did not find her symptoms lessened.

She suffered pre-menstrually with severe symptoms in all four categories, as her chart shows. She also had pre-menstrual agoraphobia, which was a terrific handicap in her working and social life.

My symptoms disappeared once I started using nutritional supplements. The depression cleared within one week and the remaining symptoms gradually disappeared during the first three months. So much so, I decided to keep using the nutritional supplements.

END RESULT - I am much more stable. I am able to stick at my job and maintain my concentration. I have a very stressful job, but I am able to work hard and I feel very happy. Pre-menstrual-syndrome does not affect me now. I can cope better with everything. I would say I am a thousand times better. I no longer feel exhausted after little effort. I am so delighted. Looking back, it's like looking at a different person.
