Mood Swings

I am the exact same way. I get every symptom in the book.

I don't really know how to deal, aside from taking PMS meds like Midol. So......BUMP!

there is a tablet called vitex at the health store will totally take away all hormonal symptoms in 2 months, worked for me

Goodness, I get this way too some times. My boyfriend knows even before I do when I'm about to get my period. lol It's funny how things that wouldn't bother you otherwise become HUGE deals and stuff that would never otherwise make you cry or angry are so fast to trigger those emotions. My mother calls it "The Curse" (as I'm sure many mothers do lol), and she's right. It feels like a total curse. That one week a month tests my relationship like nothing else on the planet. lol It's hard for me to take a breath and look at myself from an outside perspective during those times. I see me acting like a stranger and I hate it.

I hear there are herbs one can take that help balance out the hormones that get out of whack during That Time of the Month. There are even some over the counter medications too. I don't personally take any of those, but I do light Yoga, stretches, and light meditation when the symptoms get bad and that really helps me. It helps me calm myself, balance my emotions, and get "centered".
