am 48 yr old, for past yr i have an increase in sexual drive, especially about a week before i start. Lately my emotions started going wild around this time too. I say n do things that r so unlike me, kinda very edgy.Then i clam down and reget things i said or did which make me feel worse.Just a simple thing of no wanting to except no for an answer..lol..i find myself trying to convince to change their mind, to the point i upset one, when i calm down i am like omg did i just act like that i so ashamed but it like i get so upset i cant control it. Has anyone else ever did anything like this? Just wondering..am i crazy???

I also had a heightened sex drive in my mid to late 40's. But then I had a hysterectomy and that was an end to that. Sex drive has been zip, zilch, nada ever since which sucks! I didn't have the irritability though until after the hyst. But I was still having normal cycles so I guess that's why.
