Are you using flax seed or flax seed oil? The symptom you describe is
exactly what happened to me after a few days of flax oil supplementation.
Stopping the supplement helped a lot.

No flax seed/oil for me. I don't eat/drink anything out of the norm. No
supplements except for whey protein maybe once or twice a day. I'm
beginning to think it's all just in my head!

Whoa, what's the problem with flax seed oil? I eat two tablespoons
per day in a salad and have been doing it for months. I have no PMS.
I've never heard that flax seed oil causes problems. I thought it was
good for me. Can you explain what you mean further? Thanks.

Other hormonal things you might be eating on a diet that might cause
hormonal mood problems include soy and evening primrose oil.

I do add soy milk to my coffee but only about 100mls of it a day. I don't
eat tofu.


You might also want to try B vitamin supplements if you aren't taking
them.

I'll try taking them again and see what happens... Thanks!

Well, I've been feeling a little under lately... not getting enough
strength
this week for my weight training although my running improved. I've
been
craving chocolates and I've been eating out so much at night... although
I
have been steadily losing weight... not much... like 2 lbs every 3
weeks.
(I'm 129lbs 5'2")

I'm also irritable and stress out over the littlest things. I wish I
was
a
lot calmer. The thing is that I'm aware of all of this but I can't help
getting myself stressed out at times. What do I do with my hormones?
They
say exercise help diminish PMS symptoms but I exercise every single day
and
I still get it. I am also aware that hormone imbalance can affect the
way
I'm thinking and sometimes my perception of reality is real twisted...
but
still... doesn't stop me being unreasonable.

Anyone have any bad experience with PMS or some hormonal imbalance as
such?
What do you do to relieve yourself of it? Do you stress out and snap
easily?

Thanks for listening... hope to hear your experiences.
