What should I do if I have bad PMS?

Like screaming and bitching at people

If it's really that bad, take some ibuprofen, get a hot water bottle, call in sick, turn off your phone, hide your computer, and watch movies in sweatpants.

If it's worse than that, consult a doctor.

I second the consult a doctor. Too many women feel like they have to live with these symptoms, but there may be relief. Some women take antidepressants or the pill to aleviate symptoms

I just annuonce to my friends and family:

Sorry, I'm not nice, I bite today. Proceed with caution on your own risk.

Surprisingly, it works. People don't bother me needlessly and don't take it personally if I act awful.

Hey Neptunekh how are you getting on. PMT sucks. How are you doing?

Premenstrual dismorphic disorder is really common for us woman on the spectrum. If it's messing up your life you might want to consider low dose antidepressants.

It's a good idea to consult a doctor for either an antidepressant or even to see if a hormonal birth control method such as pills, Depo-Provera shot, a patch, implants, or even a hormonal IUD that lasts from about 3-5 years. One benefit of the hormonal IUD's is that they even stop periods after a while, or at least make them very light. There are even birth control pills which only allow you to have a period every 3 months or so, which could work. Obviously, your doctor would know what form of treatment is best for you.

That is awesome that this works so well for you!

I tell my sister that, "I has to go the 'Number 3'. It would not be safe for you." It is based on a quote from the movie, Home (one of my favorite movies).



1. It is a bodily function in many ways much like 'number 1' and 'number 2'.
2. It is not safe for people to be around me.
3. It is not once a year but it is a regular, infrequent occurrence compared to 'number 1' and 'number 2'.
4. I need to take the day, or several days, off.

I stay in my room with the door closed, because nothing I think, say, or do is nice. I'm even mean to the pet cat. Poor Kukki. Sometimes I'll tell my family I need to be alone, or just to leave me alone.
