Joe, I think the advice Susan gave you was good & I can't add to it except...
Is it possible to set up a tape recorder somewhere unnoticed (letting it run)& tape an episode like this? If you could play it back when she's feeling good again & ask her about it?
Or perhaps, even to show a doctor? To show that it really does happen. And yes, PMDD does exist & not just on the interent. The Society For Women's Health Research takes it very seriously. Check out their site:
http://www.womens-health.org/PMDD.htmlAnd lastly, it is very rare, but it has happened that an otherwise peacable woman has become violent in this mode. Sorry, not trying to scare you but as Susan suggested, be prepared. Your wife's problems sound very severe. I really hope you get the help you very much need, & your poor wife too - her life must be miserable too.
