    I get bad mood swings during PMS, so a lot of irritation and anger towards everyone and everything. I track my cycle so it's always good to know when my mood swings are coming around so instead of acting on them, I remind myself to take a rest and chill out if I can.

    When I am before my period, I have low self-esteem and I think that my partner will leave me because I am not good enough... I start crying and then, after a few days, I get my period and we know why I felt like that... It doesn't happen every month but mostly when I am stressed... Thank you for the video...

      Does anyone recognize this symptome due to pms?
      12 weeks ago i gave birth to our 3rd wonder. There fore i always had heavy menstruations. Before i had children it was worse but now it feels so terible.
      I get lower pain in my beck/pelvic area that goes to my legs and feet. Kinda like leg constractions in labor.
      I'm so sad. I can't do anything. I have never used any anticonception. But now i'm thinking about it as a mom of 3.

    I'm not laughing at you, but THREE DAYS? Oh man...a week and a half. I'm not kidding. A week and a half every month. And this is three years after getting both my ovaries out. For medical reasons, not because of the PMS. But I still get this every single month, and my doctor is stumped. She has no idea how it's possible that I'm still menstruating, let alone getting PMS symptoms. Depression, extreme fatigue (I'll sleep for eleven hours and feel like I didn't go to bed at all), apathy, lethargy, no will or motivation to do anything, hungry and cold all the time, trouble sleeping at all (I tend to wake up t around four in the morning this time of month0, the absolute desperation to be alone, but then crying because I am alone, anger, irrational thoughts, and this isn't even as bad as it was BFOR getting my ovaries out. Before the surgery, add paranoia and nightmares, too.

    @ActiveAdvocate1 2 роки тому

    Now for your list, though...
    1. Not hard. I can time it y the clock, let alone the calendar.
    2 This only makes a difference if it's other PEOPLE stressing me out. But if it's just normal life stressors, it has no impact whatsoever on my PMS. That's its own monster.
    3. Hard with a heart condition, but I walk A LOT when I'm stressed out. It doesn't work for this, though. never has. I also...umm...chew ice. I know, I know, but it's that force-relieving-stress thing. I can go through an entire tray at a time. It...kind of...works...? Depends on thee day.
    4. One of my symptoms, and I was telling dad about this last night, is that I'm just perpetually hungry. I specifically want fats and sugars, so a lot of cheese, chocolate, and ice cream. But it's actually like I have this THING gnawing at the ack of my brain, even when I've had a full meal, going "More, more, more, eat, eat, eat," and it takes a long time to shut that voice up. Not just a voice, though: it's a tangible feeling, like something literally clawing away inside my head.
    5. Hence my cheese thing, I suppose, and I take vitamin D supplements. They don't make a dent.
    6. I take a magnesium supplement too. And I know I'm being negative, eh, but even qualified doctors don't know what the hell is wrong with me. They never have. I tell my GP that I live with this, and she's just kind of like, "Oh wow, that sounds terrible. umm...guess you'll just have to wit for it to stop."
    7. I have one caffeinated drink a day. I know this sounds snarky, but I don't MEAN it snarky: should I cut that out for the time period? Like I say, it's about a week and a half out of every month. Oh, and this isn't just me; this is every woman in my family to whom I'm related by blood. Bad genes for it, I suppose. Damn. Hard to change your genes.
    8. You know...this one hits. It does. Because I'm a perfectionist and it's like, "I have to get this done. Now. What? I don't have the energy? DO IT NOW." I'm not good at self-compassion. And I'm not humble-bragging, but I really am others-oriented. Other people are, in my eyes, the point of life. The entire Purpose, capital P, for why we are here. Or at least why I'm here, because you can determine your own Purpose. The problem is...I can't sit out a quarter of my life, you know? Like I say, this is a week to a week and a half of every month. You can't sit it out for that long. I suppose "sitting it out" can take different forms, but when I'm like this--like I am RIGHT NOW, I might mention--I don't want to do anything, see anyone or anything, go anywhere, have to think, have to feel, have to work, have to show up for anything at all. But you have to. It's ALSO not good for you not to. Any advice...? And no one say 'anti-depressants": I can't take them. They don't jive with my heart condition. And that just makes it all SO much more amazing. Sigh. Maybe I'll go look at some pretty boys. ONE advantage to this time of the month is, umm...I'll let you fill in that lank. XD And no, I don't mean porn. I mean my favourite musician's only music video, and he is fully clothed, thank you.
