I really need to vent around some other women...

PMS sucks....I feel like and I'm excessively emotional. My boobs and back hurt...I spent hours on the couch this morning because I thought I was going to throw up. Last night I almost cried because I didn't like the sound silverware was making on my plate. Earlier today I cursed at my hairdryer.

I think I'll go for a run and then spend the rest of the night watching the Gilmore Girls on DVD, lol.

P.S. the little caution looking icon is the perfect way to describe me right now--caution: cranky with tears, chance of precipitation 99%

Ugh! I hear you! I hate it. It's like you're not in control. It's like pms takes over and there's nothing you can do.

You think you girls have it bad? Think of your poor boyfriends whose lives you make a misery... heheh.

I just had to utterly give up taking anything my ex said when she was on her period seriously. Was impossible to deal with her, in the end it was just "look, you're on your period, I don't care, stop taking it out on me, I'm not going to get into a argument with you no matter how much you want me to".

What always suprised me is that I'd notice before her, she'd be crying about how she lost a book, or being really unjustly spiteful about someone.... Errr, that time of the month? Then she'd feel totally . Weird how it all works.

Interesting...

"I hate being a woman"....

That time of the month would be the only time i would and have ever used that phrase... lol..

I don't get emotional or teary, my back does ache, boobs do swell but yeah that's a bonus... Isn't it?

Last year i tried something... Our minds are programmed. Anything negative that we deal with on-going in our lives will always be negative right?

Wrong.

Instead of saying oh oh, here we go... I started saying, ah it only lasts a few days, smiled, walked 10 minutes twice a day around the block, took disprin for the tummy aches, ( that's the worse part) and whala, a different approach made a negative into a possitive.

I now find if i use mind over matter, i've limited all of that to 50%...

Change your way of thinking as it approaches, find something that you do only when that time is there, that makes you happy and that's the time you do it.

I can't guarantee it will work but i can say that 50% is way better to handle than 100%, works for me.

I like your attitude CW!

Emotional wreck is the only way to describe myself. The pains are bad yep, but i can put up with them...what i cant put up with is a mad outbreak of crocodile tears, wailing like a baby...sometimes something trivial with cause it, other times i'll cry for no reason....weird.

I dont get stroppy either...i just blub. But i wouldnt change being a woman for anything
