The aching miseries (congestive dysmenorrhoea)-mood swings: irritability, nervous energy, depression-remedies for depression THE ACHING MISERIES (CONGESTIVE DYSMENORRHOEA)-MOOD SWINGS: IRRITABILITY, NERVOUS ENERGY, DEPRESSION-REMEDIES FOR DEPRESSION
This is probably the most distressing of all the premenstrual moods. The whole household can be thrown out of gear when one woman in it suddenly becomes miserable and withdrawn. Some women are so down they can't face housework and let it mount up all round them; others are too depressed even to get up and start the day at all. At work, the woman who suffers from recurring bouts of depression is liable to become cross-grained and difficult with her colleagues and her special problems.
Fortunately there are lots of well-tried remedies for depression, and some of them might work for you. Some people go off on a spending spree, which is all right if you have the money and you usually like what you buy. It's not such a good idea if your judgement is out of true in the days before your period, which it well might be.
Some people like to be made a fuss of—by a husband or a lover or perhaps a close friend at work. A trip to the ballet, a special meal or a loving tete-a-tete can give them the lift they need. But there's a snag here too. If you have both gone to a lot of trouble to arrange this special treat, and it doesn't work, you can end up with a double dose of depression. Some find it easier to cosset themselves with warm scented baths, or an early night in a warm bed. If that treatment doesn't work, at least they haven't made somebody else miserable too. Many women who suffer from depression find it most distressing to involve other people in their misery. They prefer to hide away until they are over it. Others, of course, like an audience who will steadily become as miserable as they are. Some try exciting books or films to lift them out of it; others prefer to wallow and play their saddest records until they weep.
The most effective cures I've ever seen have been the most strenuous. I've known women who had hard physical jobs to do, and jobs that just couldn't be put off, and to their surprise they exhausted themselves out of their misery. They may have wept as they worked, but they did sleep afterwards. However I don't recommend it as a cure, because most people who suffer from depression suffer from fatigue as well. So it isn't really very sensible to go out of your way to tackle massive tasks. Stick to small jobs that are well within your scope. When you are depressed, you need success.
Perhaps the best advice I can give to anyone suffering from any of these mood changes is to keep a diary for two or three months. I know it's not an easy thing to do, particularly if you are very busy, but it could help you in several ways. For a start, it's a splendid safety valve for tricky emotions. You can be as depressed or as angry with it as you like, and you won't upset it. It'll take all your bad feelings and it won't answer back or do anything else to make them worse. Secondly, it's a most useful record. We sometimes forget just how bad we have felt; we remember facts inaccurately, and good times can disappear altogether too. It's never easy to analyse exactly what's upsetting us when we are in the middle of a mood or a row. But if you have a record, that's a different matter. You can re-read it when you're your old, calm self again and then you'll be able to see what sort of things trigger you off. Next time you might be able to avoid them. It can also be a help to know exactly how violent the swing from one mood to another actually is. A diary that's received all your fears, horrors, hopes and bad feelings will reveal that very clearly. Keep it safely hidden though! When you're in a bad mood, you may well say things to your diary that you'll regret when you're in a happier frame of mind, and you certainly wouldn't want anyone to see them.
