Thank you guys so much for your support and fruit yesterday!
I am feeling much better in the energy department.
Unfortunately, I woke up today with the most wicked PMS in the history of herstory. Everything is a terrible annoyance today. Earbuds falling out of ears, leaky coffee cup lid, guy on bus clicking his pen repeatedly, these are usual normal annoyances but today I can feel ACTUAL STEAM coming out of my ears. This guy bumped into me at the coffee shop and made me spill some coffee and I actually thought about punching him.
Anybody have any tips? My plan for the day is to simply drink water, attempt to laugh at my hilariously short fuse and take some evening primrose when I get home. But any other suggestions to ride this storm out are very welcome.
Sadly, my one piece of advice is to stay away from chocolate.
I went for the nuclear option. Depo Provera shots mean I don’t have to deal with that at all. But when I did, laughing at it as you’re doing definitely helped.
Yep, I do some deep breathing and repeat over and over in my mind that “it’s just the hormones, it’s just the hormones”
I tend to spend days like that trying to interact with as few people as possible and refusing to deny myself whatever I want. Good luck!
I used to try to laugh at my periodic short fuse, and one of the things I tried to do was to compose a single sentence, something like the Bulwer-Lytton “It was a dark and stormy night” competition, that illustrated just how on edge I was. Something like, "She rolled into the office like an avalanche of anger—thumping, slamming, banging any two objects that came within reach—and yowling like wet cat, “Anyone comes within 5 yards of me better be able to produce on my mark, George Clooney, naked, carrying lots of chocolate, fabulous new shoes that will fit me perfectly, orchids, and two one-way tickets to Tahiti, or you will be suddenly, sincerely, and scarily sorry.” The fun of trying to be as outrageous as possible. It usually made me laugh at myself. Or want chocolate. Or George Clooney.
