I am not the stereotypical b*thcy girl when I'm pms-y. I just get blue about a day or two before my period. What do you gals do to help, for lack of a better word, "cope" with the pms symptoms. I am such a happy go lucky, always optimistic girl, and I hate being down in the dumps. And its so hard to explain to your SO that you feel like crying and you don't know why lol I truly believe men should have to go through just one period to see how it feels...then they'll never ever complain again when we're moody 
|
Yeah, I've had that conversation "What's Wrong?" "I don't know" "What do you mean you don't know!?!?!?" sigh... lol |
amen, sistah  i have been telling hubby that for years  i dont get blue, i get lightning bitchy--instant irritation  i was getting an annoying headache, that wouldnt go away, the day before, but notsomuch since i changed birth control |
I knew I liked this one! Yep...'tinis are a good way to cope. Retail therapy (even buying a new lipstick can help) Never had much of a problem with it before I got my tubes tied...but since??? Gah...makes me want to have a hysto.  |

Since I turned 40 I have a 3 week window where I get migraines, either the week before, during or after. Only problem, Don't know when it will hit me. I have prescription meds to help with the cramps etc. since they are severe. Since I turned 40 it's been down hill ever since.
|
Good point - can't forget the retail pick-me-ups! Anything from makeup to gun accessories will do.

Hummm, I have a very short fuse when im pmsing! Granted that fuse can go in any direction! I stay away from heat in general. The heat makes the cramping worse and cold does the oposite. I really cant complain, all the women in my family have to give up an entire week of their months and I only have to give up 3-4 days! O-and ice cream is the miracle drug for PMS! Mrs. Snaps |
Hm.... Not to hijack. But from day two (of the menses) to just about a week after it's over, I get a "spike" in the interest meter. Doc says it's perfectly normal: ovulation and all that. May wanna have her ovulation stuff looked into. Back to the PMS bitching (FTR? Hubby "goes to Home Depot" alot 7-10 days prior...I wonder why....
|
They do go through it, once a month, putting up with us. 
|
i get a six pack of bud and my bf knows to be very nice to me. if none of that works then i come bitch about it arfcom....that's kinda how i intro'd myself around here i still haven't found anything that makes it suck any less. there is always some kind of drama involved, like me crying or feeling sad or getting really pissed off and not talking to anyone. fun times...NOT! good luck 
|
thanks! the feeling is mutual. arfcom chicks rock! 
| What makes it suck most is the trheory that a crazy person doesn't know they are crazy...bye the time it occurs to you that you are being irrational you have probably stacked up several irrational things adn should go tell people your sorry for being jerk. Not sorry "I have PMS" there are things to do to keep it to a minimum and I can't stand to hear a girl say "I can't help it". We can, we have to want to...people around us suffer from it. I get weepy a couple days before, and spend money like I have a clue but that's about it. It annoys more than hurts most around me. Lots ao' good stuff to help these days...make yourself feel better Duckie YOU deserve it. |

I was blessed that my last SO actually stopped to recognize that she was being irrational before she said anything, and just kept her mouth shut. I, of course, would notice and ask about it, and she would just give me that knowing look, I just smiled and would give her a hug. Man...I miss her |
Try a potato gun with Hershey kisses ammo...fire over your shoulder at a metered pace and haul ass...the foil will slow her down and you can escape on your feet
