Need advice: Fatigue & PMS

Question

I've been noticing for a while how bad my PMS has been. Examples: very irritable (my poor husband..), wanting to cry whether it's because of a comercial, song that's not even sad, when I think about the past or future (constant thoughts of eventually being alone without my husband at an old age), or for no apparent reason.

I have bouts of not being interested in work, or anything outside of being in bed and resting with my heating pad. I have breast tenderness and cravings as well. If I eat something other than what I'm craving, I feel repulsed.

I've had experience with depression as a teenager BUT, after understanding my emotions and going to therapy, my depression was circumstantial.

I think we all know the type of fatigue that comes with endo so I won't get into that. I work a job where I have to be "on" all the time and pleasant which can be hard with pain, fatigue and PMS.

My question: how do you combat PMS and fatigue? I feel I've tried everything I know but I'm at a loss and feel like I'm fighting against my body.
