Absolutely raging with PMT today

[MrsGideon]

Please distract me so I don't murder my work colleagues

I work in an office of predominantly men. There's a lot of 'banter' and teasing, and I just can't cope with it today - they're already getting on my nerves and I've only been in for 10 minutes! I get that thing where my head gets all hot and then it's almost like I can't physically stop myself from snapping

Anyone else struggle to hold their tongue when suffering with extreme PMT??

Anyone?

For at least 3 days of the month leading up to AF, I morph from a balanced, reasonable woman into a raging harpy who veers between abject weeping and blind fury. So I feel your pain!

I have pmdd

I have to stay at home in the days leading to af and my dh often works from home or takes time off because there’s a real chance of me being arrested some days if anyone says something to me that is rude

@progestermoan That sounds horrible, I really feel for you.

At the moment I'm contenting myself with just muttering to myself behind my monitor, but someone just 'jokily' questioned why I have private stash of biscuits and I'm surprised his face didn't melt from how I looked at him

Tried cerazette it was meant to help (it didn’t) so now I just stay in for a few days/week each month !

Oh me too!!
I'd muttered my first 'ffs' by 7.50am

I'm going to a festival for 5 days on Thursday and was hoping to get at least the first two days of AF out of the way before then but nothing so far. TMI? Sozza!!

Same. I feel it coming sometimes 5 days pre period, I know I'm doing it I just can't help,it or stop. I just try v hard to manage myself and steer clear of situations that could end badly 😕

I need to be reminded that it's my hormones because I actually forget why I'm continplating setting fire to my life and everyone in it. Can't you leave a note on your computer to remind you to count to 10?

Are you taking oil of evening primrose or another supplement? That's helped me enormously (but I think it can interfere with contraception).
Even so I still sometimes find myself imagining myself committing violence against others.

I normally feel mild to moderate irritation towards my dh the day or 2 before my period and that's it. My dsis on the other hand suffers really badly in the run up to her AF. She just tries to keep out of everyone's way. She blamed it on being overworked for years but took a break from work and had no major stresses in her day to day life it was only then that she was able to see what was causing it. It's really like she gets possessed. She tries to meditate and do lots of yoga and has a really good diet anyway. It sounds horrific.

I suffer badly as well with my temper ever since having DC's I've become awful during the days leading up to AF and a few days during and like others have said I too could easily commit crimes against others 😬 bloody hate it
I was never bothered by my periods when I was younger in fact I always considered myself one of the lucky ones oddly I was happier now it's spun round 🤦🏻‍♀️

I forget every month and after 3-4 days of fucking raging and wanting to kill everyone and myself I come on and go 'ohhhhh.....'
