Not sure where I could post this.
Every month about a week or so before my period hits my moods go haywire. I'm not sure how normal it is to feel this way.
Apart from the usual which generally means crying over something silly or being sad and a lot more irritable I have also in the past experienced feeling so down and horrible about myself that I thought I would give up my life if it was guaranteed that my DCs and DP would be perfectly ok.
This month I am completely pushing away DP, thinking that he's not doing enough (he most certainly is), picking apart the tiniest things in my head, not engaging when he's really trying to connect. He's been nothing but super nice about everything. And I haven't actually expressed to him what's going on.
I'm also feeling extremely demotivated to boot feeling weepy and unable to get on with the housework which I have plenty of time for, staring down the huge laundry pile I have been ignoring for days.
I've noticed this pattern for the past couple of years and it's really starting to bother me as it has been slowly worsening for about that long.
Is this completely normal? Does every woman experience this but everyone just gets on with it better than me?
