PMS and Boyfriends

Whenever Im gonna get my period, a week or two before I always start getting stressed, anxious, depressed. I cant sleep at night, my allergies get so so much worse. I get some minor cramps here and there. I feel so tired all the time. I cry, at least two or three times before I actually get my period. I get extremely horny. I get achy all over, but I always seem to get in a mood and I mean a MOOD with my boyfriend. I start analyzing everything that has happen in our relationship, everything he says, I interpret it in this crazy negative way. I'm already a super sensitive person, but when Im about to get my period, everything he does, doesnt do affects me more than it should, mostly because of what in my mind, it "means".

Today I was thinking back and I think I always end up having a fight with him, when Im about to get my period. Does anyone else experiences this? What do you to not let it blow out of proportion?

 

I do that all the time.
and it makes me feel bad because I hate using it as an excuse but it always happens.
Whats happend is hes learned to deal with it better, but im working on working through my feelings.

 

I'm not that bad, I just get a bit moody sometimes which weed takes care of in a jiffy, and I get a bit weepy sometimes. Now, Im not in a relationship, but when Im moody I tell the dick Im going into hiding for two weeks.. haha
Its not just him though, I tend to want to be by myself at that time so I keep away from everyone.

 

I havent really been using it as an excuse because I made the realization today.
I sometimes think that "Im cool, I know it's just PMS and Im not gonna let my emotions overwhelm me", as soon as Im done with that thought, another wave of crazy thoughts comes along.

 

I used to spend a lot of more time in my room and I just wanted to be alone and not deal with people., but now I live with my boyfriend and is different, I dont feel like being away from him, but Im also not in the mood to be all fun and happy. Man, we women are complicated.

 

mmm times, you wish you could step out of your own brain...

 

hehe I experience everything you've just said, only that I have a girlfriend instead of a boyfriend, so she undestands for the most part what I'm going through. I usually just distance myself away from people if I feel really moody. Or if something is bugging me, I ask myself "Is this really how you feel about this issue? Is your pms affecting your feelings?" Hopefully I just analyze the issue to death and then never bring it up. Then weeks later I realize that it was a good thing keeping it to myself, and that I was just being sensitive!

 

i guess that's the benefit of having a girlfriend. I think that no matter how understanding a guy is, they cant really understand because is just something they've never felt.

 

yeah, it happens. men get it, too, they just don't know it. suddenly they're picking fights because they're pms-ing, too, but they don't know it. so me and dave agree ahead of time to take turns being shitty. can't help it.

 

I didnt mean you were using it as an excuse.
I think what I meant to say in less words is "I totally understand, and Im really sorry because I know how bad it sucks"

 

This is exactly how I get, only my problem is I never even realize that its pms till after the fact. While i'm in that zone I just get completely overwhelmed by everything and I have no idea why. Then later, i slap myself on the head because it was so obvious that i was just pms-ing. *sigh* hormones.

 

guys do have it also...i kno i get ridiculous w/ my gf sometimes, n even tho i can think, "okay, this is a little ridiculous"...i just shut that down and say "no its not...im mad" lol...n she does the same thing, but usually she focuses on whole relationship things and i focus on specific things she does right then and there

its funny after i guess...lol

 

Ohh I know you didnt mean that, I just meant that like you I hate thinking that Im using it as an excuse, but Im not, since it IS really that.
All we can do is ride the wave, the crazy wave :tongue:

 

It seems like some women get mad & others just cry. I am a crier, no doubt. I think crying is less bad because you're not all ready to fight & whatnot.

I guess you just have to get it over with it , cry, & come back to reality. But man, it's like you're on top of the world, then bam! you're down & ultra sensitive. I hate all the negative analytical thinking more than anything, it's like JUST SHUT UP! Rawr...

Bud helps like half the time. Half of the time it makes it better so you can look at your thoughts/feelings objectively & half the time it just digs me deeper into it, which is extremely bummer.

 

you know, dave and i used to joke about my "pms" because i just didn't have it. i'd get a little loopy and confused, maybe get frustrated when dinner was burned or something. but now my pms turns me stark, staring crazy. i don't understand it. it's a horrific battle for me every month. wtf? i completely lose my mind. and naturally i look back and go, "oh yeah. fucking pms." so i started putting up an alarm on my phone to remind me that i'm due for some pms and consider all emotions null and void for several days.

 

I think I should start doing that, because it usually takes me awhile to realize that that's really what's going on and on the meanwhile everything Im thinking IS reality. Even though it changes to the opposite extreme every hour :tongue:

 

My PMS is so bad that sometimes even online people notice it.
I'm terrible like that.

 

Now that's something I'm yet to experience :tongue:

 

me too. i make the most irrational statements and chase the lamest fights.

 

:X

I know ! And the worst thing is when you look back at your posts.SO STUPID.
