Naggy and stressed before period. What do you guys do about it??

[princessmel]

I had another stressy day yesterday.
Felt naggy and snappy with the kids and dh. They weren't even that bad( the kids). It was just a combination of the usual things , plus we had to go to the dentist and the opptitians in the rain.

By bath time I could hardly breathe calmly. Dh was home in time to help and I left him to it and put washing away.

I usually get like this about a week before I'm due on.

I never was like this before dd was born. She's muy 2nd child.

I get bloated too. Usual stuff I suppose but just wondered what people did to help.
Dh is good and just lets me rant but I feel so bad about it. Its like I know I'm grumpy but cant stop.

I did chat to ds before he fell asleep though and we talked about all the good things he'd done that day and we said tomorrows a new day etc. I said sorry for shouting too.

ooh thats something to think about Mung. Chicory though

Thanks

I couldn't taste much besides the fennel. It was like though red twisty sweets I had as a kid from a jar.

those, not though

morningpaper, really? Oh to be so reliable.

Evening primrose oil is supposed to work. I bought some, but I think it works better if you actually take it.

I am beastly since having DD. The pill does work (combined pill) if you can take it - worth it for PMS even if you don't want or need it for contraception.

yes I DO write it on the calendar but DP suffers from Man-Blindness From The Fecking Obvious and says things like "Hmm every 4 weeks or so you get really irritable and angry, perhaps we should have counselling?" which makes me want to rub his dumb face into the calendar

Maybe I should just scribble I WILL BE A BITCH across the week beforehand?

Have started keep a calendar also, but it make me realise how unregular I was so it can be a bit difficult to predict.

DP says that I should know when I'm feeling bad and why and make allowances for everyone else.

I kindly say "thank you for that tip, didn't think of that" whilst shouting vile obsenities in my head and imagining stabbing him violently
