Do you act worse then most people around you when PMSing?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't get the physical symptoms (yet), but I'm the b****iest person around when PMSing (and often during the period). I just can't control the rude thoughts that I'm thinking at all during that time, and have to try to keep myself away from people so I don't hurt any feelings. Does anybody else here experience that, and if so, how have you dealt with it?

I just try to indulge myself, not in my urge to lash out, but in my urge to isolate myself. My low and high moods within the cycle have gotten more extreme with age, or at least I am more aware of them now. I used to think that the foul moods were due to hormones, but I read that it is in fact a lack of hormones at the time. Soon after the period ends, hormones increase that tend to improve our mood and then gradually taper off toward the next period. Thus we find life harder and harder to tolerate. It works for me as a barometer, knowing where I am in the cycle, but I do have to be aware of it or I tend to forget why life suddenly sucks so bad.

But yeah, keeping away from people for a while beats having to apologize every month. And those pills for it don't help. I dunno what they're even supposed to do. I know acted fairly psycho once in college after taking one and never took them again.

I fall apart completely when I PMS.
Moreso recently.
I actually ended up heavily misunderstanding and screaming at one of my besties instead of trying to make him feel better because of PMS a week or two back.
It's starting to kinda...mess up my life. My judgement is poor during that time, and I have no idea how to control my thoughts.

I had to go off the pill because it gave me PMDD. A few days before and during my period I would be in seriously depressive moods. It was kind of scary because when I'd be done with my period my mood would lift. I think it's worn off because the effects of the pill have worn off. I was afraid I would have taken my own life, even in those few days of PMDD. I used to get all the usual pms symptoms too, just times 20.
And the people I'd speak to during that time would have thought I was going through depression.

I am definitely moodier, but not unbearably so.
I can be more prone to meltdowns..

Yes. I licked the problem by quitting caffeine and refined sugar.

I'm terrible wen i'm pmsing. i try to stay away from ppl so i dont hurt them but i have been in lots of trouble becoz of my violent out bursts from pmsing
