Dar,

I am absolutely aware that you are attributing this dip to the pms. That being said, if you know that is what is causing it you must work harder to find the good. You control your moods rather than allowing them to control you. Am I qualified to give this advice? I am not a doctor nor do I play one on the internets but I do know that as soon as I am aware of WHY {read PMS} my mood is no longer sparkly and twirly I do whatever I have to do to make sure it doesn't bring me down any further than it already has. It is learning to read yourself and react to the differences in ways that benefit you and those around you.

Everyone wants to be loved, Dar. Focus on the love you DO have rather than what you don't have.

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear. {Henry Wadsworth Longfellow}
