PMT or Period - Sobs or Rants!

Post Reply New Topic

I think I'm pmsing. I hate myself and feel like crying.

I only come on Wrong Planet when I have PMT because I live alone I'm too ill to leave the house and I need people to talk to / vent at.

This month has been really bad anger-wise. I don't know why I am so angry these days. I didn't used to be. I find it better just to stay away from people so that I don't say anything I will regret later. I feel like saying, "sorry, I had PMT is a cop out."

I need to go see the doctor about going on the pill because I lose 2 weeks every month to this hell.

I seem to have my worst bouts of depression, agitation, and meltdowns about a week before my period. I started my period on Tuesday this week and before that I was just miserable about everything. I've never had kids so I guess my body is making it worse at my age because it thinks I absolutely must have children or the human race will go extinct. Well it's wrong! I hate to blame any irrational behavior I have on PMS. Too many guys do that and I hate it. I also don't want to take medication for it since already being on meds is bad enough, and no amount of stress-relieving activities will make the world stop sucking so much. Deep breathing won't make all the nuclear weapons in the world disappear. Exercise won't save the environment. A balanced diet won't protect me from terrorists.

because my periods start at the end of the month I'm now fearful that this Christmas I will be an emotional wreck from it combined with the stress and anticipation of the holiday. It practically ruined my Halloween this year, so...

I'm pmsing again. This is ridiculous. Every thee weeks I feel like I'm a f*****g failure.

Little update since the last time I posted in this thread (can't believe it's been almost a year!)

I've gone on the pill to regulate my periods, because my gynecologist said that going months without periods increases the risk of cancer in your reproductive system. For the first time in my life I now have regular periods. They come around roughly 3 to 4 days before the end of my 3rd week of pills. So basically... every 2 1/2 weeks, with a week and a half of bleeding. Not sure if that's normal or not. But hey, I'm just happy that my cycles are regular now!

Right now, my period could start at any time. Physically I feel fine (had to take an ibuprofen for a headache though, and experiencing slight cramping). Emotionally, not so much. My PMS has become so much worse ever since I went on the pill. Last month I thought for sure I was going to have to be put in the mental hospital because I felt like I was completely losing my mind. Now I'm a little afraid to have another period because I don't want to go to that dark place again. I haven't even started yet and yet my thoughts are already on a downward spiral - Suddenly I have become very upset over the quality of my artwork, which is a concern that didn't even enter my mind before today. If this is what the PMS is like, I shudder to think what the rest of my cycle is going to be like...

No, Idahorose, that's not normal. You need to tell your doctor cuz u probly need to switch kinds.

It's also not normal to get your period in the middle of a nuvaring cycle either, but I did. So now, I will have to have two periods this month it seems. Assuming this bleeding stops in time, otherwise I will have one big stretch of bleeding. Ugh!

I temporarily lose my sanity apparently.

Just what I need to help my social life, what with it being so good already (i am being ironic).

This is a less serious thread to my own.. so I shouldn't be nonchalant about posting here. Anyway, I feel what you said associated with me, as I have finished off a bag of Doritos today, and I started them last weekend even though I nearly finished them.
I've had a couple of cookies the last few days and I'm still wondering how I managed to climb from 8 stone 5 lb three years ago, to nine and a half now. A stone in three years, it could still be worse.
I'd still rather have these early cravings than be sick from undernourishment,.. and going away should help, both visually and mentally.

Shallow Hal would still be shallow, if that voodoo spell hadn't worked to change his outer way of thinking.
