PMS - Does anyone else get it bad?

I usually eat chocolate and cry, A LOT!

Maybe my healthy eating is why its got worse - I've given up chocolate!!!!

Yes, I get like that sometimes. My symptoms change every month though... sometimes cramps, backaches, headaches, fatigue, etc. Sometimes I even get hot flashes, my visions blacks out, or I throw up. :frown: Sounds terrible, but I haven't talked to a gyno about it yet. All the women in my family are intolerant to birth control, so I haven't considered it an option. The more I take care of myself, the easier it gets though. I basically expect the worse and deal with whatever I'm given that month. :drinker:

Oh yeah, I'm a total psycho when I have PMS too, lol. You definitely aren't the only one. For what it's worth, I was actually less emotional when I was pregnant than I am when I have PMS. Hormones are weird.

I am the same way.

I also get it pretty bad, but only the first day. I'm not usually effected emotionally, but I get cramps so bad that I usually end up throwing up. After I started to exercise it has gotten better though, and sometimes even one painkiller does the trick.

I never totally gave up chocolate. I just limit myself to one or two very tasty squares.

I simply cannot limit myself! As soon as I have one square I get the taste for it and can't rest until the bar is gone!

Sorry if this is in the wrong group. But its not really weight loss related, so hoped it fit in with support.

I get extremely bad PMS these days - I cry at ANYTHING and generally feel I cannot cope with the world. I also find myself creating whole fictional arguments with those I love in my head as I convince myself everyone has fallen out with me/is annoyed with me/ I've done something terrible when I haven't. Usually all made better with a hug for hubby to be and a cup of tea at least!

Its only for 3 or 4 days before my period, and the rest of the time I am fine. So its not depression. But I am starting to worry its not normal.

Does anyone else feel like this?

Are you me? This is exactly how I feel a couple days before my period. I start thinking everyone dislikes/annoyed with me. I cry over anything and everything and I'm also very *****y and get pretty depressed during those days... Of course I feel pretty horrible afterwards since I get irritated easily during those days and lash out at people. =( Those days are definitely worse than my period!
