depression at ovulation

[sarakenobi.livejournal.com]

Every month, with the arrival of EWCM (egg white cervical mucous), comes some major depression. I began ovulation yesterday, today it is bigtime EWCM, and I am feeling like complete shit. It happens every single month. I'm bipolar, so maybe that has something to do with it, but I take medication for that. After ovulation, it recedes for about a week, and then returns in full force until I get my period (31 day cycles).

Does anyone have any resources where I could find some ways to relieve this? It's really a big pain in the butt.

I hope I posted this right, its for a friend -- I'm not ovulating right now!!

I'm just like that and I have major depressive disorder, or whatever the fancy word for it is. My cycles are even the same length! I haven't been able to figure out what would help, except for being nice to yourself, letting yourself eat whatever you want no matter how unhealthy is it and such, and also, taking a Multivitamin helps some, by getting rid of some of the lethargy that I experience with my depression. Here's a link (http://community.livejournal.com/vaginapagina/9101699.html) to my question on the same subject (with some good responses).
