hitting the self destruct button

[unsurealot]

how do you get out of the habit of doing this?

This is my coping mechanism, except it doesnt work does it? not long term...

So, any tips on getting out of this horrible cycle?

What do you mean unsurealot?

I don't know whether i would call it self destruct but about once a month I have a bonkers period ( falls a week before my period starts) I get very tired, totally illogical and parnoid, very negative and cry a lot. Oh and beware anyine who crosses my path as I have a dredful temper.

It isn't as bad as it used to be as I try and note in my dairy when this time is approaching so at least I am prepared and I know why I am acting the way i am.

Do you mean the bit whereby you are determined to read the worst into situations, like if someone says hello and doesn't stop to chat, its cos you are a horrible person, not cos they are busy?
And where you deliberately pick a fight and / or blow things out of proportion and make yourself miserable even though you know you are blowing it out of proportion?
Cos if you do, I get cycles like that, you have to give yourself a bloody good talking to

And if you don't mean that, then its just me!

No Lisa, it's not just you. I'm the same, and have been really bad this week (Not even time for AF, so not sure why).

Lisa that is me, I am a complete bitch from hell the week before my period and then a gibbering pathetic wreck while on my period. I then have two relatively calm weeks before it all starts again!

Ahh so thats what it is, yes I have that and also it seems to be geting worse very month.
