Have u looked into Premenstrul Dysphoric Disorder or Postpartum Depression? Both have symptoms of anxiety, irritability and mild to moderate depression. I know the thought of taking a med. to feel better can be extremely hard, unfortunately for some, that is the only way to relieve anxiety and/or depression. There are other options like therapy to see if something is triggering these feelings but that is a decision u have to make. I wld. look at it like this, wld. u rather try a medication to help relieve these symptoms or continue to suffer? Lexapro has worked well for some people. I wld. also look into finding a good psychiatric doc. and therapist if this persists as they may be more knowledgeable re: these issues. Hope this helps. Take care ; ) and welcome!
