More than PMS?

I don't know. I guess I always assumed that my mood swings ended once I started bleeding, but now that I'm keeping a daily log, I can see that it doesn't. This morning I didn't start out sad, but that certainly changed when I mentioned to my honey bunny that he didn't say I looked nice today. I was wearing a sweater that I hadn't worn in a long time because it was too tight, but I was able to squeeze into it today now that I've lost a few pounds. And of course in the state that I've been in lately, it turned into a whole "you don't love me" type of thing. I tried to smoothe things over before we got in to work because I didn't want things between us to be tense, but all day I was on the verge of tears. Maybe I'm a little more than "mildly" depressed.

I've let my mom and sisters know that I've started therapy. My mother is not too pleased about the idea that the therapist suggested Prozac. She also said not to trust the therapist. Apparently she went to psychotherapy recently and they suggested she get off her Xanax and try a different drug, which she did, and it did not make her feel good. So she stopped seeing the therapist, went to a "healing mass" at her church, and is now free and clear of her panic attacks. So far. In any case, she says people have done crazy things on Prozac and is very worried about me taking it. I'm not concerned about the Prozac. I was given other options in addition to Prozac, so whatever they think is right is fine by me. And I think I'll trust my therapist for now.
