The aching miseries (congestive dysmenorrhoea)-mood swings: irritability, nervous energy, depression THE ACHING MISERIES (CONGESTIVE DYSMENORRHOEA)-MOOD SWINGS: IRRITABILITY, NERVOUS ENERGY, DEPRESSION
It's very upsetting to wake in the morning and find you have become a different person. Or to start the day feeling your usual self and then sense a horrible change taking place. Some women find that they are suddenly furiously angry with everything and everyone, including their husbands and children; others are irritable and snappy and find fault with everything, even things they know are trivial. Some are suddenly so tense, and have so much nervous energy, that they don't know what to do with themselves. They can't relax, sit down or stop for a minute; others are miserably depressed and withdrawn, with no hope and precious little energy. Whichever way your particular mood swings, the effect is to change your personality, which is very difficult to contend with. As one woman put it, 'It's like being bewitched.'
The sad thing is that it happens to so many women. And until quite recently, unless they or their relations happened to notice that their mood swings coincided with the approach of their periods, they often had the added misery of not knowing what on earth was the matter with them. Back in the sixties doctors were often unsympathetic to women patients who went to them asking for help because they were depressed or inexplicably irritable. They were told to 'snap out of it' or to 'pull themselves together'—which was the one thing they couldn't do. Fortunately, the climate of medical opinion is changing, due to the work of Dr Dalton and others, and there are now hospitals and clinics where you can get various medical treatments if your symptoms are very severe. So you are not so likely to be told that it's 'all in your mind'. And I hope you wouldn't, take any notice if you were. There's nothing the matter with your mind. You are certainly not mad, nor are you abnormal. You are not even unusual. There are thousands of women like you—about forty per cent of all women in Britain between fourteen and fifty-five years of age—if one excludes those on the Pill.
Steady relaxation can be the answer to mood swings, but I should warn you it rarely effects a miraculous cure overnight. It's more likely to improve things by gradually cutting down the number of days when you suffer from your particular mood swing. You'll probably improve month by month as the off days get fewer and fewer. In the meantime though, you and your partner, friends, relations and colleagues still have to live with your moods, if only for a little while. How can you cope?
For a start, take up the offer of any activity that sounds fun. So many of us think that play stops with our childhood, which is a great pity and can make for a dull life. This is the time of the month when a surprise outing can do you the most good; the time when we most need to dance and sing or play games or get out in the country for a day. The more pleasure there can be in your life, the better you'll be able to cope with your moods.
