writes: I love my boyfriend dearly, i really do, but at some times of the month - usually mid to late cycle he reall irritates me, and when he's not with me I am constantly thinking about going out with my mates and i fantasise about dancing and flirting and getting drunk etc etc...then usually around the time of my period i stop getting these thoughts and i feel in love with him again!! I dont know what is going on in my head. I usually feel like this more so around christmas time too cus i just love to go out with my frieds and party, without him. Does anyone else ever feel this way. I'm 23 and i think it seems really childish to read back thru after i've actually spelt it out. what is wrong with me??!!

 Premenstral tension would be a first guess...lots of women get wound up as their period is close and feel strange about lots of things. I know I could cheerfully strangle my husband before that time! Some women find that they get strange bursts of energy around ovulation (mid-cycle) and feel emotional and clingy in the week before your period so your thoughts could all be hormone related. It is ok to be not sure about your man at 23 - you are young and you need to be out partying with your mates; that is normal and healthier than spending every hour of every day with him...try not to worry so much!

Your hormones are fluctuating with your cycle. Tell your doctor-- there are some simple pills you can take to regulate this if it is affecting your quality of life.
On the other hand, it might have nothing to do your menstruation. There could be million other reasons for your mood swings and you could just be using your period as a scapegoat. You said you felt like this around Christmas too, which implies that it's really dependent on whether your boyfriend is actually around and who else you're hanging out with. It's normal to have some interest in other people and to like partying and whatnot, but are you SURE you want to commit to this guy? It doesn't sound like it.
