I have constant low-level irritability and anxiety. I find myself being sharper-tongued at work with coworkers who challenge my patience.
Last night I had a meltdown because my wife chose to have a financial discussion with me after I had a long day at work, our new downstairs neighbor left us a nasty note about something we had no control over, and one of our two dogs wouldn’t stop barking.
My cycles are getting longer and less predictable. I think I’ve started bleeding and then I go to the bathroom and find out it was a false alarm.
The first couple days of my period, I want to eat random things like cheese pizza with ranch dressing. This bothers me because a) I’m fat and am trying to develop healthier eating habits b) I’m trying to go vegan.
Any ideas on how to make these next few years easier?
