Please help me

Hi,
Im at a loss as to what to do and scared out of my mind. Ive always had bad periods since I started them at 14yrs old. When I was 18, I was put on the pill to control them which has been fine up until a few months ago. I had a break from the pill for a year and went back on it in January as my mood swings were getting bad and my periods heavy and painful. In this year off it, my ankles and wrists packed in and I was bedbound for months. The only tablet that has helped is fluoxitine 20mg. But since Ive been on both together Ive been completely gone insane before my period. I tried to kill myself, I had my partner arrested because I thought she was beating me up etc etc. I get so angry, aggressive, have blackouts, have severe night sweats in which I can ring my nightie out and change around 3 times. I feel like Im a danger to myself and others around me. Normally once I come on, Im perfectly fine again but this one that started a few days ago, Im still having all the symptoms. Im terrified.My doctor wont listen and I just dont know what to do.
Please can anyone help me?
Thankyou,
Anja

Thanks Ceela.

Im going to see a private doc but not till next thurs. Ive thought about checking in, I think its possible here. If nothing is helping or anything by the time my next PMS is due, I think I will have to do that cos I really am scared of putting myself or anyone else in danger.
Thanks,

I'm sorry for your situation.  Maybe being locked up is the way to go.  If you are really afraid that you are a danger to yourself or others, get checked into a mental health facility and they will do a physical health workup too.  There is no shame in admitting you need help.  OOps I just saw that you are not in the US so I don't know if it would work the same there.  Here you can go to the emergency room and tell them what you said above and they would put you in a facility for at least 72 hrs and get you some help.  Try it there if they will check you in somewhere until they figure out what is wrong.  It could be hormonal, physical, mental or all of the above??

Definitely seek help from another doctor - what you are describing must be taken seriously.
