PMS/PMDD and negative self talk

[Treeli]

Every single month for 3/4 days leading up to my period. Even though I know its just the hormones it is bloody horrible. I'm usually a very confident person and I know in a week i'll look back and think 'what on earth was that all about' but when you are in the depths of it it feels so real.

I've spent all day veering between a pity party for myself and telling myself: i'm no good at my job, the coffee lady looked at me funny and obviously thinks i'm a twat, going over and over why a colleague hasn't replied to my email, looking for reasons to prove to myself what a twat i am and generally feeling shit and hopeless.

But that with soaking through the sheets having night sweets for 3 nights in a row, acne, insomnia and fatigue I bloody hate being a bloody woman!

I've started taking VitB6, magnesium and Taurine and my PMS is so much better particularly sleep, overheating and the tearfulness/pity party!! Also my chronic mastalgia seems to have disappeared. Recommended on some expert website, worth a go?

I'm adding them to my amazon basket after I finish typing this.

If I could cure the negative self talk and the night sweats I could cope with the rest! I am so sick of washing my bedsheets all the time, I swear the sweat has a different type of smell to it than normal sweat, almost biscuity?!

Magnesium at bedtime has really helped my symptoms, especially mood swings, sore boobs and poor sleep. I actually had counselling to help me deal with my anxious/spiralling thoughts. I did though my challenging with a trained counsellor which helped me to challenge them as soon as they arrived and helped me stop them escalating.
