I had this onset a couple of years ago, at 43. I didn't even realize it until a co-worker shut the door to my office and asked me what was wrong. The shortcut to the end - I saw my doctor and he gave me a list of suggestions that I took to heart. Now I exercise religiously (seratonin booster), do something for ME every couple of days (stress reliever), try to be outside for a couple of hours every couple of days (seratonin booster, fresh air, vitamins D/K enhancer), and stick to a regular sleep schedule... I'm a whole new person. If that didn't work he was going to give me an anti-anxiety pill, but I haven't needed it.

OMG! This thread is sooooo good to read. It's wonderful to know that I'm not going crazy alone. I get the the whole rage thing about 3 or 4 days before my period. I finally figured it out when I was tracking my cycle to see if I was going through peri-menopause. Now I know that I have to make sure I don't have anything stressful planned for that week if I can avoid it. I try to take it real easy and not expect too much from myself in the way of productivity or even basic human kindness. I loved the Bitchy Stitcher blog! I thought the "Bow chick a wow wow" comment that a fan left was hilarious. Thanks for such a great pick-me-up this morning.

I had this coupled with stress-a mild anti-depressant helped and saved my marriage.
Have a doctor check your thyroid levels and serotonin levels-they change as you age and can cause the Super Bitch to rise.
