Hey girls,
I suffer from depression, but I also suffer from the worst PMS I feel imaginable. i could cry at anything, I feel so alone, all I want is to be cuddled and hugged. I don't know how other women do it, and just get through their periods hormone free really, whereas I feel like an emotional wreck.
I honestly look forward to the non stop cramping to get the emotional rollercoaster out of the way. Does anyone else suffer as badly as I do? My sisters and mum never have any issue, except maybe the odd chocolate craving, I turn into an absolute mess.
Hey there moongal, I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through and I want you to know that you are not alone!!! When I tell my bf I feel my period coming on you know what he says? "Oh is it that time of the week already?" He means it kindly though. My whole life revolves around out of control hormones, cramps, and bleeding. My family doesn't seem too either. I'm here for you HUGS
i tend to find that a hot water bottle is great at this time of month not that i have those problems anymore thankfully
and exercise helps in some weird twisted way it soothes the nagging cramping pain and my favorite of all time a nice bowl of porridge that is sweetened to absorb the flagging fatigue i felt in those times
but u have a good day and be kind to u its not all in the brain hon i know ive been there and survived
Dear Moongal, OMG I can totally relate to how you are feeling! I feel guilty right now because I am "lucky" and had to have a hysterectomy 10 years ago. And believe me, it was such a relief! My sister has had the same problems and all three of my daughters do as well. When they are all talking, I feel kind of guilty for feeling so much better!
Have you talked to your doctor about it? I don't have any advice but I wanted you to know that I see your post and am sending hugs to you for sure!! I hope it's better soon!
Hey,
I have look at some alternatives aside from crying at puppies and I will see if they work...
1. is taking in more calcium, they recommend calcium supplements, but as they can cause some constipation, I think I'll just stick with the old milk and yogurts as I get serious irriatable bowels.
2. I don't want to go on antii-depressants as I've just come off one and I don't want to take another.
3. I can't go on the pill for hormone control, cos I suffer from deep vein thrombosis and the doc said no more pill for me,
I wonder why some get it and others don't? Ick I hate those girls during these times, actually no I'm just completely jealous...they are like I was when I first was when I started getting my periods, happy and carefree...now I just want to be left alone with a hotwater bottle, a box of tissues and a giant chocolate cake.
