Not knowing how old you are I am going to suggest the following; it is only a suggestion and you may or may not want to discuss this with your mother. If you are over 13 you don't have to you have a right to medical confidentiality by law and can speak to your doctor who cannot discuss the reason for your visit with anyone without written permission from you. The Law is called HIPPA.
What I am thinking is if you are not taking birth control pills that you discuss with your doctor if the hormones in birth control pills might help with mood swings you are having. If you are on birth control pills talk with doctor about changing to a different type of pill.
The other advantage of birth control pills is knowing when your period will start and how long it will last of the pill cannot help wit he mod swings at least you can prepare yourself and your activities for this time. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

When you are on your period your hormones are all crazy, your moody, you got cramps there are so many other things that happen on your period. Do you know what post partum depression you get it after you have a baby. its sort of like that you can cry alot i used to get so mad at my husband and be angry or feel like he was mad at me and angry the only difference is the way of treating your period is pamprin or midol. i always used pamprin it takes a little while to start work but it does.

It seems like everyone else in the world is out to annoy us and at that moment it feels like they do it on purpose and everything they do makes us crazy. But the truth is, your body is raging with crazy hormones that make you super sensitive and cranky. Its the same for all of us. Your sister isn't making fun of you so much as she is getting a kick out of seeing how crazy and unreasonable you get because she knows what the real cause is. Its not you, its your period. I'm a grown woman and as far as I know there is not a whole lot you can do to change how your period makes you feel. But you can recognize that the anger and hurt and sensitivity you feel is not totally real, it has a lot to do with your hormones. If you can realize that, then you can know when its getting bad and just remove yourself from the situation. Go to your room, just keep to your self as much as possible for a few days until it passes. Once you start thinking about it, you'll realize that you are not as bad when you're not on your period. Belive me, we all experience the same thing. Even at my age I still get pissy with my husband and kids when I'm on my period. At the time, it always feels like I'm right to feel that way, but after my period ends, I realize that it was just the hormones. You'll be fine. Just try to understand where it all comes from and do your best not to be too hard on your mom and sister. [ dearcandore's advice column | Ask dearcandore A Question ]
