Have you been checked for PMDD? I took their self test and charted my moods on that chart and what it revealed made a world of difference to me.
I started taking Vitex and extra B vitamins after I got diagnosed and it has made a huge difference in how bad I feel. I no longer have the wild extremes of emotions, sudden suicidal thoughts, and auditory hallucinations (mostly telling me to kill myself) during the week before Aunt Flo arrives.
If you even think you've got PMDD, try the Vitex and B vits, starting 2 weeks ahead of time.
As for the winter blues and getting myself motivated, well, I'm in a more southern clime, but I do find that exercise helps me. It's not a cure all, but it prevents the blues from becoming midnight-blues, if you catch my drift.
