Hi, Starr. I sure do identify with what you're saying.
Were the "mad" days by chance in the week or so before you started your period? When I was in my 30s I went through the same thing and it took me FOREVER to realize that I when I was so extra irritable and close to tears and ready to pick a fight -- a couple days later my period would start. I just didn't see the connection for a long time because I didn't have many other symptoms of PMS. My cramps, etc always came AFTER my period, not before. So it took me too long to connect my periodic moodiness with the oncoming period. And when we were ttc, it was even worse. Emotions are SO high then.
If it might be the case with you, find a little purse calendar where you can keep track of moods (can be something as simple as happy, sad or mad faces you draw on each date) and then see if they correspond to ovulation or your period. It's a thought.
