I used to get extremely down just before my period. When I went on the pill I found those times shifted from depression to violent spells of anger. (GrOOWWwwLL!) What I found to help the most was to listen to my body. If I crave something, I'll have it. If I feel the need to play online bingo for 4 hours straight, I'll do it. Keeping my mind busy, even if it's just eating chips and watching T.V. helps me out a lot. Oh, and a super nice boyfriend who gives out back massages freely.
