how does pms ruin your life?

[cigar store indian]

for one i cry during dumb commercials. (sylvan learning center, dog food, pasta etc.) D;
....but also, lately i want to throw myself into oncoming traffic when i see a baby. It must be some weird internal desire to have a kid, even though i probably would slit my throat if i became pregnant and I plan on buying 30 cartons of plan b.
Then there's the usual high's and lows that come one after another, and chocolate cravings ETCETCETC.

:cry::sheep:

[milpool]

i dont really have anything to add, i'm the same. i want to lock myself up in my room and cry the day before the great flood begins and.. my fish is staring at me. i caught him staring and he pulled the ol' head jolt the other way and acted all coy.

[Leela]

Oh my God I almost cried during Charmed, for god sakes. It seems like any little thing will reduce me to a puffy blubbering mess.

That and I can get really really bitchy. My mood swings are TERR-I-BLE.

[Static Split Screen]

Yeah, any little sad movie/show will reduce me into a blubbering pile of goo. It's pathetic.

Other than that, I just think I annoy people because I'm snappy, and I end up being weird with food, either eating too much, not at all, or at weird times.

[i]

chocolate cravings ETCETCETC.

mmmmmmm chocolate!

ok, resume the menstrual musings now.

[Leela]

I end up being weird with food, either eating too much, not at all, or at weird times.

Oh hell yeah I totally forgot about that part. I also often will be hungry but I won't have a taste for anything, and even if I do get food I only eat so much and then I can't eat anymore, even though I'm still hungry

[cigar store indian]

Today some jewish woman came into my pharmacy with her sick baby. I was so overcome with emotion it was scary! I wanted to stab her in the face and steal her baby and move to switzerland and cry and become a drunk. :cry:

::drunkpost::

[Atomsk Iscariot]

I lol'd.

[Needs Wasabi]

I get uber depressed about EVERYTHING.

Especially the fact that I'm single. I want to punch every girl who I see hanging all over their man in public. It disgusts me.

[gangsta puffin]

my fish is staring at me. i caught him staring and he pulled the ol' head jolt the other way and acted all koi.

as for me, i do get really crybaby, and i want to eat anything that's not nailed down/too hard to chew. that's what kills me that most.

[ok]

ssri's killed my pms. ;o RIP PMS omg.

[Jackal]

I have several scenarios that can happen, like crying, or being short-tempered and angry, getting bloated-clothes don't fit. I feel too stupid, ugly and socially unacceptable to leave my house.

I really think my son, husband and pets act differently on purpose, just to hurt me more. I hate everything I do, and every person's faults are magnified.

Then depression comes and I only focus on the bad things and wish I was dead. At it's worst, I'm so mentally crippled, that normally easy tasks become a challenge. Calling to make an appointment or visiting a new store are out of the question on these days. If I can think to listen to music, it helps me.

Even now, it takes my husband pointing out that it's PMS, because my mind is so fucked I can't even stop and notice what the hell is going on with me.

[ramblingrose]

I'm quite lucky. I get clumsy and I can't get warm, but other than that I'm the same as always. I cry lots, but everything makes me cry anyway, I just get worse at hiding it. Something happens to you when you're about 24 and you just get disgustingly sentimental.
Oh! I just remembered...I get drunk LOADS easier, as in usually I would get tipsy after 3-4 drinks, but in PMS week all it takes is a sniff of alcohol, I can get drunk on three mouthfuls of wine.

[Kelly Kapowski]

my mom knows when i'm having my period b/c i'm a fucking mother fucking bitch for 2 days before it comes. No patience at all.

I cry, yeah, cry at stupid shit like Debbie e.g. Sylvan Learning Center D; eat and eat, horrible cramps, don't want to do anything, feel horrible in every sense of the word really. Mmmmm :)

[gangsta puffin]

i have the PMS right now, can anyone else tell i'm being super bitchy?





more so than normal?

[Kelly Kapowski]

kinda, after you said that thing to krystal about her non-existant iud

[gangsta puffin]

well wait! i honestly don't understand why someone would think "hmmm, maybe i'll go have a metal thing stuck in my uterus... i don't really need it, but why not?" it's not a shot at her or anything, that just defies logic to me.

but yeah i've been bitchy, so fair enough :D
i have no patience for anyone right now. and it's not "just" the PMS, i have 3 huge effing papers due, one sunday, one monday, and one tuesday. so i think i'd hate the world whether my hormones were swirling or not.

the girl's just not fucking anyone right now, she's not a virgin and she's not celibate for life, so why blame her for going to look for alternative methods of contraception for when she does have sex with someone, whcih might be tomorrow, who knows!

[Kelly Kapowski]

ps. and i understand where you're coming from in a way, as i'd probably only consider it if i were in a relationship, but still, i'm not gonna hold something against someone else from thinking about it just b/c they're not, ya knoz

[i]

<---------was about to call Meghan, but decided to run away instead.:scared:

lol

[xangeleso]

I get super moody, but I wouldn't go so far as to say "it ruins my life" :lol: Just makes life 10xs more hellish for everyone around me :) And I consider myself super patient but when it's that time I will snap if someone says the wrong thing. But you know what, I'm pretty grateful when I notice it coming on. I like knowing I'm not having a baby this month. On the other hand, if I didn't have a menstral cycle I wouldn't be shocked. More like "Holy Fuck!" but I'd get over it. I've been in a baby mood recently, especially for a baby girl. Sometimes I don't know why I think like this :lol:

xo, Stef

Thats me, but you're just a tad more severe. Today I was filled with such rage and I was exhausted beyond belief after 04p830 hours of work. I deceded to take some sudafed cause that makes me hyper/awake, and then I was obnoxiously nice and in a good mood and then that would throw me into a rage cause noone is appreciative. ETCETCETC :cry:

ALSO I'm pretty sure I'm going blind, and i don't know if that has to do with pms or not. (probably not :darn: )

[Static Split Screen]

pms is kicking my ass this month.

[Masymas]

I've been a PMS monster all week.

It makes me weepy and sad and mad at my poor boyfriend for no reason.

I wish you could get a temporary hysterectomy. you know, like they take it out and hold onto it for you until you want to have baby. I'd be on board with that.

[Kelly Kapowski]

my uterus is shaking.

[rogaine]

mine is contracting and pushing blood out!

[Static Split Screen]

It's over! Thank god. For some reason I had a panic attack like every day I was on it. Fucking hormones.

[Barbara]

I hate it and I was a total bitch last night and I probably have two less friends now because of it

[pointyjess]

I get so short tempered...especially about things (my husband) taking too long to do everything, then I get snappy, then I feel terrible and cry. Then I get real quiet and wonder if I'm the most difficult person to put up with ever.

[Kelly Kapowski]

i'm at that pre-period stage which is when i'm at my worst, and this morning i spilled tobacco all over my car on the way to work and i screamed at the top of my lungs for 30 minutes whilst driving b/c of it.

[Leela]

My period is massive this month, and I keep getting all nostalgic and depressed, cause a lot of my good friends are leaving at the end of this year and boys suck and just UGH.

My cramps are killing me right now ;(

[Jackal]

Yay for tylenol! Ouch. Stupid crappy period! I get a beer tonight for being on my period. True story.

[elisabeth]

I am currently in immense pain.
:cry:
I guess that means the PMS is over.
*looks at bright side*
*fails to see bright side*

[Nak Nak]

I wish evolution would hurry and phase this shit out.

[elisabeth]

YES!
:yes:
:cheers:

Don't they have a new Pill that takes away your period for months at a time??
You take it four times a year or something?
I may look into that because this is ridiculous.
:oh:

[elisabeth]

of course, if I went to yoga five times a week again I would have little cramping.
but I'm too damned lazy to go to my class and learn how to relax, damnit.
Plan b is naproxin or ibuprofen chased with red wine.
Healthy!

[cigar store indian]

On a similar note! Since plan b (the abortion pill) is now available here without a prescription, they're selling like crazy. And i work in an orthadox jewish community where they don't believe in taking it! Girls are using it constantly to not get their periods, or are just huge whores. :scared:
Anyhoooooooo.
i'de so take the pill that causes you to get your period like 3 times a year, but:
A- I don't do a lot of fuckin' and B thats some unnatural shit.

[cigar store indian]

YES!
:yes:
:cheers:

:oh:
ha , thats what i was typing as you were. hmmmph. yeah its called seasonale. its not very popular, cause i mean, the stuff just needs to come out unfortunately. :darn:

Word. I would also not take it if I were sexually active because I like knowing I'm not pregnant. Can you imagine having to wait three months to see if yer preggers or not? I couldn't do it. I freak out if my period is a day late, I couldn't even imagine 3 months.

[elisabeth]

I never really thought of it that way...
That is a good point.
Still, I may need to start taking this.
Menstruating is a drag.

[Static Split Screen]

Mother nature knows what she's doing, messing with it can't be natural. A uterus need to shed the lining or else you can have a higher risk for cancer, I believe. The normal pill makes it pretty light anyway. I had periods though, I wouldn't mind losing it again.

[cigar store indian]

for the past few days i've been having cramps as if i were menstruating, but im 2 weeks away from that. DR IN THE HOUSE?

[Static Split Screen]

ovulating or something?

[cigar store indian]

but two weeks prior? these are the kind of cramps i get when i'm actually menstruating. HOWEVER my libido has been on overdrive lately, so maybe i am ovulating. can stress make you get it earlier in the month?

[Static Split Screen]

Stress can do all sorts of wacky things to your period. My mother had a tragedy happen in her family and her period stopped for a year!

[Needs Wasabi]

That's probably why my period has been out of whack since like May. I've been stressed/depressed/anxious etc.

I just hope it being like that isn't dangerous or anything. Because, I've heard some weird shit can happen if your period is light or stops. I.E. bloodclots and cysts.

Laura, was your mother okay when that happened? I just want to know if I should inform my doctor of this again.

[Leela]

I'd rather be safe than sorry. then again i'm a paranoid fuck and freak out about the smallest things.

[Jackal]

:) :lol: That's funny. I do that too, I hate it!

[Static Split Screen]

She was fine. I've also missed mine for 10 months altogether as well as having 6-week periods or so and I seem fine too.

[Cheryl K]

6-week periods

D:

[Static Split Screen]

Yeah, it was terrible. I've had so much grief with periods.

[cigar store indian]

TMI TMI TMI
Yeah , so i'm officially menstruating for the second time this month. Its just stress though. I read that if it happens for a few months in a row then there's something wrong, but is likely to happen once when under a great deal of stress. Also, i read that its not because you're stressed at the moment, but because you were stressed a month prior! Makes hella sense.
Sucks though.

[cigar store indian]

I asked my boss about it today, cause imo shes as smart as a dr. She says its stress and eating habits, and also that i need to have sex. :darn:

[Static Split Screen]

I forgot to take my pill for two days so I'm on it AGAIN. And it's not effing ending! So annoying. I can't believe I forgot when I'm about to be going to Scotland. Condoms 4 me :(
