question for ladies:

[bethany]

Ladies, i was just wondering, do you find that you have more panic attacks or feel more like you're going to V* when you're on PMS? I am more nervy around that time and i know most of us are. I'm sure this topic has been discussed before but i am new here and was just curious.

[ontariogirl]

Yes I sure do every month, and I am sick of it! About a week before my period there is a daythat I could be the stongest woman on earth, I am the moodiest person around, even my 12 year old knows and ask's are you PMS'ing! I could eat more than usual, and then the day comes where I have to take something for the nausea. I always check the calendar to see where I am with my cycle and then its like ok that is why I feel ill. Yesterday I started my period and thank god it has been cramp free, this one no, I was doubled over ( I have endometrosis and a cyst on the right ovary) in pain, it took my breath away and I thought for sure I was going to puke from the pain. You are not alone with this one!!!!! Today I feel better but still crampy.

It's been close to a year since I had my period (just had a baby) but as I recall, I'm definitely more anxious during PMS.

[sweetfreak]

hmmm...actually...for me...no, I don't...when I am not on the pill...i do get really bad cramps...but they are just depressing...they don't make me anxious because I know what causes them and I know they don't make me vomit.

[Jenneh]

umm i have to say no i dont get more anxious/panicky; but, i do feel more sick. but cos i can put it down to smthing, i dont mind that much.. THAT much.. lol

Yeh, cos apparently you do feel more sick when you're on?!


And plus the stomach cramps don't help..... and i tend to feel hotter at that time of the month, and our classroom at college is reallyyyyy hot!!

[izzybee]

I feel nasty about a week before i'm on. I dont think pms causes my anxiety - but because I know that I'm not feeling too good it increases my anxiety. pah!!

Yep! Almost exactly one week before, my stomach goes crazy. Mostly IBS type stuff. It's always weird, cause my stomach hurts, but I still want to eat everything I see!! I used to get HORRIBLEcramps before I went on the pill.Now I don't. Yay!!

I get that way sometimes. Actually, this month I felt that way. I've noticed that I'm either more anxious, sad/depressed, or angry and crabby. I think the months where I feel anxious are the ones where I have a lot of stress going on, so the emet bothers me more than usual.

AN ODE TO P.M.S...........


p.ms is full of stress


its hell no less


just pure distress


for- more or less


we have to guess


and then obbsess


about this mess


i do confess


it makes me pess-


i-mist-ic


when i feel s**k


i'm just a poor chick


wish i had a d**K


cos it gets on my wick

make the clock tick


but its fair to say


that its here to stay


til another day


then it goes away


hey hey yay yay!!!!!
