The mood swings are just the most horrible thing I have ever experienced. I never had PMS, and these moods are so bad its scary. I can't tell you how many times I have gone to quit my job, instantly, for no good reason at all. Someone doesn't answer an email, I think everyone hates me. Someone doesn't return my call, I think I'm getting fired. I mean just super emotional garbage. I cry, I get mad, all in a matter of minutes. So many nights I have gone to email my resignation, but thank God have slept on it. By morning, the mood swing is gone and I can't believe that anything upset me. Its not my nature - have always been happy go lucky and optimistic, cheery in the face of disaster. Now I am a mess, and its horrible. At least I am recognizing it now, but it still stinks. I can't take hormones either, so guess I have to ride this out for years. Seriously, though, I understand now the old logic of why women should not be president in their 40's and 50's during the course of menopause. I would have nuked the world a few times by now!! For no reason!
