I suffer from depression because I have what's called Pre-Menstrual Dysfuction Disorder (PMDD). It causes severe depression, migraines, and cramps, major swelling of my breasts, messy and off-schedule periods. It also causes major fluctuations in my mood. I could be happy one minute and the next I would want to rip someone's head off.

I went one time for 6 months without having a period and I KNEW I wasn't pregnant. I have my regular B-cup bras and my period C-cup bras. I seriously go up a whole cup size when I have my period. Not only does my chest swell, but they hurt and it looks like I am "cold" all of the time. The cramps will seriously knock you down off your feet. Sometimes they'll come and be so bad I feel like I have to pass out. The migraines have to be one of the worst symptoms because they'll knock me off my feet for hours and hours. A day will be shot and forget it if I have plans . . . I can't go anywhere. The other worst thing about it is the messy periods. Clothes and sheets have been ruined but not because I wasn't wearing anything to protect my clothes or sheets.

If I ever get married, I really feel bad for that man.
