Actually I attest to having demonstrated those symptoms without any hormonal supplements. Some months are worse than others, and I usually make a mental note not to engage in any interactions in which I may be inclined to tear a strip off someone. I should probably add to that not sending any emails to bfs either.
I think if this is cited as a legitimate mental health concern, it will enable women to see that they are not crazy, but rather that hormones are a powerful thing and need to be respected and acknowledged as affecting our mental health. Mark PMS on your calender just as you would your period. And track it so you know why you're feeling off and when you can expect to be feeling hormonal surges.
I personally find the pill to be making things worse, but its early and I am willing to cycle it out for a few months before making any decisions.
