I have been married for 33 years and have started going through menopause.  I am concerned about my mood swings.  I swear there are days where I actually feel I could kill my husband.  I go through two days of it a month.  I don't want him around and everything my husband says I think he is a jerk.  When these days are over with I am fine and my thinking is back to normal.  I have even had suicidal thoughts is this normal?  I just feel that every day is the same and you work come home and it just repeats itself.  The rest of the month is not bad.  This is right before my period, my periods are still right on the day, but they last a week and I have been having some night sweats, these moods last anywhere from two to five days.  I am 47 and this started about 7 months ago.  Is this related to menopause?  I will appreciate any advice you could give me. 

Thank you.
