I hate PMS!!!

[marycontrary]

My panic attacks always get really bad around that time of the month. Most women can tell when they are due to start because they get bloated or crampy or whatever. Me, I can tell when I start having back to back panic attacks. It usually happens the night before my period starts. They are really bad, Hyperventilation, sweating, N*, tremors, the works and they last longer than normal.


Sometimes instead of the panic attacks, I wake up crying in my sleep. I don't know if i was dreaming about something sad or what but it sucks to wake up that way. Usually I have to lay there and bawl my eyes out before I can go back to sleep. Crying is no big deal but the fact that it happens in my sleep is something I find strange. I am fine when I am awake, I don't feel like crying then i go to sleep and it happens. I guess that can be attributed to hormones messing with my emotions.


do any of you ever have that happen to you?

Hi Mary -don't worry, I'm exactly the same as you! I had a bad anxiety attack thisafternoon, and it only went away when i reminded myself that it was 'that time of the month'. It started because I was feeling kinda gross - not n*, just sort of icky. But that was all period related too. I'd also been really moody with my Dad earlier in the day, which Ijust couldn't control =(


Man, PMS is such a barrel of fun [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]

I agree, men have nooo clue how lucky they are. i get panic attacks too cos i get such bad back pain that i cant move.

With hormones all over the place no wonder we are unpredictable, imagine if it were men who had periods. haha

Take care

I woke UP at 10:15 and I have a major headache, cramps, I'm sweating and I got my period today....uhg....I don't even want to go to work tonight....BLEH...I cry about everything when it's this time of the month.

the place....this is when i tend to think men suck!

That was me last night!! Except no sleep whatsoever. After about 3 days of
panic and bitchiness, I had a great day yesterday, felt great, thought i'd
sleep well. Then last night, no sleep whatsoever and I ended up crying
uncontrollably. I was also really h*rny (why when we can't do anything about
it??). I knew it all must have been hormones.

I had to take the day off of work with all the hormone stuff and cramps.
Boo.
