You like that? 🙁 I would not like that. It means that for (perhaps something similar to) one quarter of the year you cannot control your actions and feelings. So, you can't be trusted for that time. Why should Boyfriend, your boss, your landlord, the Police or a Civil Judge or anyone else trust you about long term decisions, if they don't know when you will turn into the "Shark You" when you don't have someone overseeing the actions you take toward other people ? 🔗🦈 😢 No, given the choice, is it not better to be judged as "guilty" instead of "insane"? The guilty can see choose whether they change. But, the insane cannot . 😢

periods coming after the worst breakdowns and mood swings pretty much sums up what girlhood is like. like oh, i dont have undiagnosed depression, lowkey invalidating tho 😭😭
I got this realisation last month, after 10 years. I cried. Like i can sometimes identify it, but i am not just angry, i am dangerous for myself while it s happening. I could punch someone for being in my way, run away like a 12 years old, or stop on the driveway because life doesn t matter. When i realised that it was perdiods, i was so angry. I m still angry because i tought i was crazy my entire life. And "women are just crazy, it s normal", so i didn t want to be a cliche. But it s not our fault and we need to be heard about issues like this. I talked for the first time to my doctor that just randomly said "the pill, we are gonna try that for you". I already tried. It was a nightmare, it was this horrible state for 2 month, and i bleed 3 weeks. I threw it against a wall and away. I can identify it but it s too late sometimes. And this state is not me, this is not me but i can t not be this horrible person and it scares me. Thinking it was depression (my psych told me it was when i was 18) while the most part was because of periods ! I have a complicated history with this and i tought i was healed from the resentment (not the shame, it still there), but now i hate plainly. A woman shouldn t have to be brave, but the reality is that we are in a world made against us, and when it is coming from your own body, it is really hard to deal with.
Sometimes I wonder with comments like these how some women even survive 😅 im lucky that I only have the pain that's easily treated with ibuprofen and is only unbearable when I forgot. Instead I actually got diagnosed mental illness 😂😂😂 but at least it's steady and not only a few days so you have time to develope and practice some coping skills... having severe Symptoms for only a few days, but each month, ans not being used to it the other times sounds really stressful :(
@@Lusciol3sI’m so sorry to hear you’re suffering like this. Have you heard of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)?

Every woman needs a cat bc I swear mine is super clingy and wants extra cuddles the two days before my period starts. No need for period trackers or wondering why I'm so annoyed with everything but the fluffy ball sitting on my chest purring.
I have two. one starts being extra clingy the three days before my period starts and the other makes biscuits on my lower belly during the first two days (the most painful ones) of my period and it helps SO MUCH! 😻😼😽 I swear they know more than we do!
The purring really has the function not only to comfort themselves but it has an extraordinary effect on cells especially bone cells 😊 people knew for thousands of years cats also heal humans 😊
It's a mini-birth exercise. And just like that, there's joy when it's finally over, to the point we forget and repress that nightmare and...... end up caught off guard next time gain. Just like birthing mothers going angry dragon mode and "I'll never do this again" and then somehow...... suspiciously many still turn up in the hospital again for another go 😂
It's not that illogical, while some women regularly get mood swings and others regularly don't get them , some women get mood swings irregularly, so for those women they may come unexpected.
So relatable. The week of my period is not the worst, it's the entire week of PMS before. I legit have murderous thoughts, I'm just so annoyed by people. Getting my period is actually a happy occasion because it lifts the veil of hate lol.
For me, those violent thoughts got worse over time to the point of being dysphoric, at which point I had a full-on breakdown. Managed to get a dr appointment, turns out birth control can often help, thank god. Unfortunately I don't think I can handle going off of it long enough to figure out the root issue 😅 all I know is my basic hormonal balance SUCKS!
For me, whenever I feel like really anxious and stressed and like life feels impossible, I immediately ask myself 2 questions: when did I last eat (I forget to eat all the time and my biggest sign is depression and overwhelmedness out of absolutely nowhere rather than... y'know, hunger), and how long has it been since my last period? Fun fact for my fellow people with ADHD, your ADHD symptoms can get worse during your period. It's annoying and unpleasant to feel like I'm working so hard to get in a good place and then have a crisis, but knowing it's temporary and also not my fault helps me so much. Rather than there being some intrinsic mystery thing that's deeply wrong that I don't know how to fix, knowing I'm going to feel off for a few days and that's ok is a lot easier to cope with.
So relatable. Every bit of it. And now throw endometriosis into the mix! 💀 I had surgery, I'm better now. My body messes up other ways atm. but it's still better. Now however I lost the "ah it's just periods". So my only go-to now is "Why am I so 'closely build by water' (German idiom for "easily being easily moved to tears", for anyone confused). If I notice my emotions getting out of whack and into extreme (I've grown some badass emotional regulation skills n tool sets over the years, WITH by ADHD), that's when I know it's probably "that time again" 😅
@@kassassin_brahgawk As we speak I'm hoping my period will come bc I have emotional pain, crying and intense irritation from practical things. Yesterday I took balance supplement but I feel everything even more intensely 🤔
I think I'm in it too but on top of having a flu and missing a hug and care but the man I'm talking too is om a trip and I don't want to nag about how I feel in this stage so I just try to sooth myself.❤ and knowing it will pass and sleep does wonders.
This is so relatable… the amount of times I have a mental break down because I had an argument with my husband over something stupid and me wondering if I’m just impossible to deal with… and then realizing I’m pmsing and everything is simple again 😂😂 I hate those hormones but I’m glad it’s not me. 👀 I’m an ovulating happy frisky bunny right now 😊
Not all women have been there, not all get mood changes in period or pms. Being a girl doesn't mean getting mood swings, some women do get them , some women don't. Saying it's all women contributes to the fake stereotype that "all women are extremely emotional and irrational especially before period".
Yesterday I felt so dumb because I was saying really stupid things while PMSing, like literal "would you still love me if I was a worm" vibes but they felt so real to me. And as they came out of my mouth I could hear how stupid they sounded so I'd be crying and laughing at the same time while continuing to say these things with no filter. Today my head is clear, I feel great (aside from cramps), and I cannot even fathom where my head was at. PMS is wild!
Girl got me over here over analyzing everything and getting mad upset Then turns out it's just my grumpy alter ego and then I feel like it wasn't even any of my fault 🫶😂😂😂🙏
It's so nice at least knowing why you feel like crap. It was hard for me when I was depressed. I didn't know if it was my brain or my uterus! Sometimes it's both! 😂
YESSSSS! I experienced this very dramatically for me this past month. I had 1 day where everything was off, I had 0 energy and everything just felt horrible. But the next day I was fine, in pain, but fine😂 sucks to be a woman
So, so relatable. I struggle to remember when my latest period was, so I'm always unprepared. And as someone who's been dealing with a few problems, I sometimes wonder if this time I'm actually going insane for good. Then I see that stain and uh, thank God, it's only PMS. Again.
Oh my gosh this is me every month. 🤣 I laugh about it but truthfully I have PMDD and it sucks so bad. But that's basically what I realize every month, "Oooh, it isn't me, it's my PMDD!....oh crap, my poor husband... I feel awful...." I started using a period tracker app that gives me a notification days before my period is to start so that I will be aware that I have to start being hyper aware of myself and how I feel/act. I take extra supplements to try to brace my body so it'll not spiral as bad, drink brewed cacao for extra hormone and mood balance, buy extra dark chocolate to eat if I feel myself mentally slipping, etc. It feels like I'm literally preparing for battle, and it's against my own body. 😬
Yup, PMDD here. My husband buys the chocolate for me sometimes! But since I've got my IUD (reason: PMDD) over 6 months ago, now my period is gone and my PMDD symptoms are a lot milder. Also: no more painkillers necessary because no more cramps
Same girl. I used to get bad mood swings before my period. Unfortunately I did not have an understanding and apparently educated man in my life. He did not think it was a legitimate reason and that I could control it. I did my best and I would apologize. He help a grudge and was unwilling to be understanding and educate himself. That man is no longer in my life. He did not deserve to be in the first place. My son received a better education regarding PMS, mental health and now Menopause. Mothers please teach your sons and do not hide your struggles. Explain it to them while also letting them know it is not their responsibility to fix anything.
PMS does not excuse abusive behavior, sorry. Just as high testosterone doesn't excuse abusive behavior by men. Everything you do is *your* responsibility, regardless of how you feel internally at the time. Your tone is classic victim blaming. "I couldn't control myself because of hormones" isn't a valid excuse for anything. It's not someone else's job to "educate" themselves to accept abusive behavior. "I used to get testosterone-induced rage. Unfortunately I did not have an understanding and apparently educated woman in my life. She did not think it was a legitimate reason and that I could control it. I did my best and I would apologize. She held a grudge and was unwilling to be understanding and educate herself. That woman is no longer in my life. She did not deserve to be in the first place." Can you see what is wrong with that?
I completely relate to this. I'm sure many people do! But it does serve as a reminder to take my endometriosis meds. If I get them in two days before coming on it helps big time
@@DisneyIsLife_ I first assumed she meant she recently got a hysterectomy. I was like "good for her". But probably meant that she just got over her period
Exactly! It doesn't sound right, but once the first, the most painful day of period comes, I feel incredibly relieved and happy that I am myself again, not an overreacting irritable PMS monster 😅🙈
Exactly. I had the same situation. Yesterday i was not myself and today, besides pain, I am happy. PMS is a thing. But there must be something to stop or reduce symptoms.
I'm lucky I don't have PMS at all my cycle. As long I eat well, sleep well and exercise regularly and other stuffs I'm not sure yet. But I decided to journal more and see what trigger it. Because it's scary state to be. I always check my cycle, just in case to not plan smth important around those days.
PMS used to affect me very badly and Evening Primrose really helps although you'll need some weeks to see the difference. Besides it contains vitamin E, which IS fine for your skin, nails and hair.. En español (I'm from Spain, 🇪🇦 Aceite de Onagra)
I was waiting for it to pan over to German boyfriend balled up crying in the corner like he was when she was begging him to get an air conditioner. 😂😂😂
I called this the fiendish. I always warned my hubby and son, that it was coming or back, and they should it at all costs. 😂 Greatful that is over now.
Just so you know, it's not normal to have really severe mood swings due to PMS - if you or anyone else reading has really unpleasant emotional symptoms, look into PMDD aka pre menstrual dysphoric disorder. You can get more specific help and treatment for PMDD vs PMS.
This is so relatable 😭 I always start arguments with my hubby over the mildest thing that annoys me, feel like a bad person, then realize, oh, I’m not an angry and mean person, it was just PMS 😂
Partners often realize a girl's period is coming before they do themselves. The second they become out of character unreasonable out of nowhere, is where i just drop whatever we were discussing and make some tea. I get an apology pretty much right away after they realize the cause of their temper. Same when either of our blood sugars drop.
Naprogesic tablets are the way to go. I've only ever found them in Australia so I get them shipped from an online Australian pharmacy. It's worth the shipping costs because it's the only period pain specific painkillers that actually works for me and lets me be semi-functional during Shark Week.
I used them too! Until I got my IUD 6 months ago. Now life is so much easier, no longer a period, no longer painkillers necessary, and PMS symptoms are milder
When it is that severe, it is called PMDD: premenstrual dysphoric disorder. I personally found that it helped to have a name for it, because I could self correct my mood by looking at the calendar. Some women take medication for that week.
How are you able to self correct your mood? I do know it comes from my period, but that doesn’t really help me (beyond knowing that I dont have a depressive episode, it my period). But in those days I am still angry at everything that breathes and frustrated or deeply sad and crying.
@@octopiinthesky44 I was already on Wellbutrin for major depression. So that helped relieve my PMDD (diagnosed) and I was able to self regulate. Some people take a psych med only on their premenstrual week. Or add a med that week if already on an SSRI or similar. It really helps with the hormonal surge/crash. I understand how debilitating it can be. It’s also hard to find a doctor sometimes: psychiatrist, or OB/GYN, or endocrinologist.
😂❤❤ Girl you are awesome! Breaking the tabu so well Btw, the birds are so loud this year😅 they are still on it at 8p.m. and start at 4-5a.m. in the morning and wake me just hours after I finally got to sleep 😂
I noticed when I do lots of sports the whole month, I don't have any pain and my flow is very light. Also I dont have mood swings, apart from the one that normally happen on a day. Take this as a tipp maybe it also helps other women.😬
If you find that you get overly emotional to the point it's effecting your life, it might be PMDD. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. Lots of people have it and don't realize it and it can really impact you.
We have all been there! I don't always have PMS, but every few months even I think I'm being a witch for a few days before realizing its just period hormones!!
I also got a "solution" 😂 Just live alone😂😂😂 You have no one around who can be attacked. So instead you just listen to your gut and eat stuff and be fine. Instead of trying to stay functional and get a monster for 2 days. That is actually my truth. Especially since I am not working (chronic illness took work from me) I realised how much easier it is during my period. Since I am not forced to stand all day, the period pain is waaaay down and I don't have such strong cravings too.
Oh, GOD, every months I'm like 'why am I so angry, what is this existential cri--- oh. Yeah. That.'
"Why am I crying over absolutely everything?!"

For me, whenever I feel like really anxious and stressed and like life feels impossible, I immediately ask myself 2 questions: when did I last eat (I forget to eat all the time and my biggest sign is depression and overwhelmedness out of absolutely nowhere rather than... y'know, hunger), and how long has it been since my last period? Fun fact for my fellow people with ADHD, your ADHD symptoms can get worse during your period. It's annoying and unpleasant to feel like I'm working so hard to get in a good place and then have a crisis, but knowing it's temporary and also not my fault helps me so much. Rather than there being some intrinsic mystery thing that's deeply wrong that I don't know how to fix, knowing I'm going to feel off for a few days and that's ok is a lot easier to cope with.
Yup. Also: AD(H)D symptoms often get worse during menopause and women with AD(H)D can experience havier symptoms of (peri-)menopause. Lucky us 😉
So relatable. Every bit of it. And now throw endometriosis into the mix! 💀
I had surgery, I'm better now. My body messes up other ways atm. but it's still better.
Now however I lost the "ah it's just periods". So my only go-to now is "Why am I so 'closely build by water' (German idiom for "easily being easily moved to tears", for anyone confused).
If I notice my emotions getting out of whack and into extreme (I've grown some badass emotional regulation skills n tool sets over the years, WITH by ADHD), that's when I know it's probably "that time again" 😅
OMG the hunger absence is so me!
It's the same with my autisme symptoms (mostly the sensitivity issus and the shutdowns and meltdowns) 🥲
Girl I hear you! I know it's coming when I just start crying over random things on TV, lol ..
I LOVE the mental clarity of being like "it was just PMS🤩"
That's how I get too. The minute I start bleeding, my mood goes back to normal. The week leading up to it, I pray for you lol
It's like the tension on the balloon is gone the moment the blood has a break through.
@@peaceofmindofpeace1650 exactly!
@@kassassin_brahgawk As we speak I'm hoping my period will come bc I have emotional pain, crying and intense irritation from practical things. Yesterday I took balance supplement but I feel everything even more intensely 🤔
Not me expecting the German bf to make a chirping sound when she said "Suddenly I can hear the bird's chirping" 😂
I get depressed the days before. Stuck in it right now. I feel you
I think I'm in it too but on top of having a flu and missing a hug and care but the man I'm talking too is om a trip and I don't want to nag about how I feel in this stage so I just try to sooth myself.❤ and knowing it will pass and sleep does wonders.
That's how I feel when I come back from the dentist appointment 😂 without the angry part
This is so relatable… the amount of times I have a mental break down because I had an argument with my husband over something stupid and me wondering if I’m just impossible to deal with… and then realizing I’m pmsing and everything is simple again 😂😂 I hate those hormones but I’m glad it’s not me. 👀 I’m an ovulating happy frisky bunny right now 😊
Haha the last part of your comment 😂
Sometimes my wife just yells "it's go time" and I'm on my feet to face the music!
😂😂😂
My PMDD will have me contemplating divorce every month 😂
😊 You're helping so many persons worldwide with videos like this. Bravo.💚
Hey girl we’re synced up!!!! From across the globe 😂😂
Saame
Haha
Saaame 😂I was cranky yesterday 😂
Same 😂
Same yayy
I totally get that. Especially the apologizing and physical pain. My hips and back are aching horribly right now.
I was expecting German BF to chip in his pov 😂😂 We've all been there, it's so fun being a girl! 😂 xx
He’s in hospital. That’s why.
🤣
Not all women have been there, not all get mood changes in period or pms. Being a girl doesn't mean getting mood swings, some women do get them , some women don't.
Saying it's all women contributes to the fake stereotype that "all women are extremely emotional and irrational especially before period".
I felt this deep in my soul 🤣🤣 Such a relief!
Yesterday I felt so dumb because I was saying really stupid things while PMSing, like literal "would you still love me if I was a worm" vibes but they felt so real to me. And as they came out of my mouth I could hear how stupid they sounded so I'd be crying and laughing at the same time while continuing to say these things with no filter. Today my head is clear, I feel great (aside from cramps), and I cannot even fathom where my head was at. PMS is wild!
Girl got me over here over analyzing everything and getting mad upset
Then turns out it's just my grumpy alter ego and then I feel like it wasn't even any of my fault
🫶😂😂😂🙏
It's so nice at least knowing why you feel like crap.
It was hard for me when I was depressed. I didn't know if it was my brain or my uterus! Sometimes it's both! 😂
Yes exactly!!! Worried some mental health crisis was coming on but nope, just normal bodily function
YESSSSS!
I experienced this very dramatically for me this past month. I had 1 day where everything was off, I had 0 energy and everything just felt horrible. But the next day I was fine, in pain, but fine😂 sucks to be a woman
And then when periods stop we transfer to menopause 😮😢 and they scare us for that all over the place with that one.
@@peaceofmindofpeace1650 yeah there is just no winning😭
So, so relatable. I struggle to remember when my latest period was, so I'm always unprepared. And as someone who's been dealing with a few problems, I sometimes wonder if this time I'm actually going insane for good. Then I see that stain and uh, thank God, it's only PMS. Again.
Oh my gosh this is me every month. 🤣 I laugh about it but truthfully I have PMDD and it sucks so bad. But that's basically what I realize every month, "Oooh, it isn't me, it's my PMDD!....oh crap, my poor husband... I feel awful...."
I started using a period tracker app that gives me a notification days before my period is to start so that I will be aware that I have to start being hyper aware of myself and how I feel/act. I take extra supplements to try to brace my body so it'll not spiral as bad, drink brewed cacao for extra hormone and mood balance, buy extra dark chocolate to eat if I feel myself mentally slipping, etc. It feels like I'm literally preparing for battle, and it's against my own body. 😬
Yup, PMDD here. My husband buys the chocolate for me sometimes!
But since I've got my IUD (reason: PMDD) over 6 months ago, now my period is gone and my PMDD symptoms are a lot milder. Also: no more painkillers necessary because no more cramps
Same girl. I used to get bad mood swings before my period. Unfortunately I did not have an understanding and apparently educated man in my life. He did not think it was a legitimate reason and that I could control it. I did my best and I would apologize. He help a grudge and was unwilling to be understanding and educate himself. That man is no longer in my life. He did not deserve to be in the first place. My son received a better education regarding PMS, mental health and now Menopause. Mothers please teach your sons and do not hide your struggles. Explain it to them while also letting them know it is not their responsibility to fix anything.
This comment is gold! 💯
PMS does not excuse abusive behavior, sorry. Just as high testosterone doesn't excuse abusive behavior by men. Everything you do is *your* responsibility, regardless of how you feel internally at the time. Your tone is classic victim blaming. "I couldn't control myself because of hormones" isn't a valid excuse for anything. It's not someone else's job to "educate" themselves to accept abusive behavior.
"I used to get testosterone-induced rage. Unfortunately I did not have an understanding and apparently educated woman in my life. She did not think it was a legitimate reason and that I could control it. I did my best and I would apologize. She held a grudge and was unwilling to be understanding and educate herself. That woman is no longer in my life. She did not deserve to be in the first place."
Can you see what is wrong with that?
I completely relate to this. I'm sure many people do! But it does serve as a reminder to take my endometriosis meds. If I get them in two days before coming on it helps big time
Oooh I can relate to that so much 😂😂 how often was I so grumpy, sad or angry about something and then realised I just got my period 😂😅
You better give him something related to dinosaurs 🦕 😂😂 for him to forgive you more quickly 😂😂👍
Thanks for being real about this struggle! It takes a fair bit of mindfulness to be able to figure out why it feels like life sucks so bad some days 😅
Going through mine 😢 just needed this gentle reminder.
Me too 😢
"I've gotta say sorry to my boyfriend😳" me too girl😂
Thank you for speaking for everyone with a uterus. Just got over mine, we feel you Uyen
have you apologised to the people you wronged because of the PMS?
My mind went the wrong way 😭 i thought you just got over your Uterus and i was confused 😂
Same 🤣🤣🤣
@@DisneyIsLife_ I first assumed she meant she recently got a hysterectomy. I was like "good for her".
But probably meant that she just got over her period
@@Tessa_Gr Yeah I realized that a bit later, but what's a hysterectomy again? 😅 Does it mean getting your uterus removed?
I feel this so deep I am crying in PMS. But for real, it is such a struggle every month :(
Me: " Oh, dear Lord, i am not crazy! Thank you!"😂😂😂😂
Hahaha, same, the days before I am SUCH a crier, once it hits I'm so grateful hahah
Exactly! It doesn't sound right, but once the first, the most painful day of period comes, I feel incredibly relieved and happy that I am myself again, not an overreacting irritable PMS monster 😅🙈
Exactly. I had the same situation. Yesterday i was not myself and today, besides pain, I am happy.
PMS is a thing. But there must be something to stop or reduce symptoms.
There is - gestagen/progesterone!
I'm lucky I don't have PMS at all my cycle. As long I eat well, sleep well and exercise regularly and other stuffs I'm not sure yet. But I decided to journal more and see what trigger it. Because it's scary state to be. I always check my cycle, just in case to not plan smth important around those days.
Evening primrose oil. Both muy gynecologist and psychiatrist recommended it to meand I can say it's very efective.
PMS used to affect me very badly and Evening Primrose really helps although you'll need some weeks to see the difference. Besides it contains vitamin E, which IS fine for your skin, nails and hair..

Poor sweet simple boys. Keep up, gentlemen!!!
Omg me too today! Birds literally chirped as you said it, too. 😂😂😂
Me right now, but the PMS monster is at bay because I'm just too tired to be mad. lol
Silver lining... 😉
This is painfully real.
I was waiting for it to pan over to German boyfriend balled up crying in the corner like he was when she was begging him to get an air conditioner. 😂😂😂
I called this the fiendish.
I always warned my hubby and son, that it was coming or back, and they should it at all costs. 😂
Greatful that is over now.
So relatable
Dude such truth. He will appreciate the apology. And aren’t you blessed to have a sweetheart who respects a woman. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
"Dude" is a man's nickname, she's obviously NOT a man! 😂
I feel that. For me, it was just more of a "WHY AM I CRYING!?" ...it will be better next week.
The “I gotta apologize to my boyfriend “ was too funny 😂😂
Me, in two days😂
Just so you know, it's not normal to have really severe mood swings due to PMS - if you or anyone else reading has really unpleasant emotional symptoms, look into PMDD aka pre menstrual dysphoric disorder. You can get more specific help and treatment for PMDD vs PMS.
I feel you on this! Hormones are so annoying!
"The monster yesterday, it wasn't me" never heard more relatable words 🙃
This is so relatable 😭 I always start arguments with my hubby over the mildest thing that annoys me, feel like a bad person, then realize, oh, I’m not an angry and mean person, it was just PMS 😂
Partners often realize a girl's period is coming before they do themselves. The second they become out of character unreasonable out of nowhere, is where i just drop whatever we were discussing and make some tea. I get an apology pretty much right away after they realize the cause of their temper. Same when either of our blood sugars drop.
Naprogesic tablets are the way to go. I've only ever found them in Australia so I get them shipped from an online Australian pharmacy. It's worth the shipping costs because it's the only period pain specific painkillers that actually works for me and lets me be semi-functional during Shark Week.
It is same as Naproxen - you can find it in Germany for example
I used them too! Until I got my IUD 6 months ago. Now life is so much easier, no longer a period, no longer painkillers necessary, and PMS symptoms are milder
Exactly. Now every time I'm mad I always ask myself, "is it me or is it the hormones"
“I gotta say I’m sorry to my boyfriend”😂😂😂😂😂😂 ME
When it is that severe, it is called PMDD: premenstrual dysphoric disorder. I personally found that it helped to have a name for it, because I could self correct my mood by looking at the calendar. Some women take medication for that week.
How are you able to self correct your mood? I do know it comes from my period, but that doesn’t really help me (beyond knowing that I dont have a depressive episode, it my period).
But in those days I am still angry at everything that breathes and frustrated or deeply sad and crying.
@@octopiinthesky44 I was already on Wellbutrin for major depression. So that helped relieve my PMDD (diagnosed) and I was able to self regulate.
Some people take a psych med only on their premenstrual week. Or add a med that week if already on an SSRI or similar.
It really helps with the hormonal surge/crash. I understand how debilitating it can be. It’s also hard to find a doctor sometimes: psychiatrist, or OB/GYN, or endocrinologist.
@@octopiinthesky44 frustrated yes I experienced that today over small things especially when I'm clumsy with my hands
😂❤❤ Girl you are awesome!
Breaking the tabu so well
Btw, the birds are so loud this year😅 they are still on it at 8p.m. and start at 4-5a.m. in the morning and wake me just hours after I finally got to sleep 😂
I have to apologize to the planet after every PMS I go thru lol, I laugh now, but you've seen the effects, I'll swear 😂😂😂
Got to send this to my husband lol 😂 ❤
I noticed when I do lots of sports the whole month, I don't have any pain and my flow is very light. Also I dont have mood swings, apart from the one that normally happen on a day. Take this as a tipp maybe it also helps other women.😬
Good one! I've heared someone saying this before about women who are professional sportsathletes! I believe you instantly.
If you find that you get overly emotional to the point it's effecting your life, it might be PMDD. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. Lots of people have it and don't realize it and it can really impact you.
Yep! It’s like the minute it starts, all the attitude drains out of me
I'm always dreading my monthly PMS-induced existential crisis 😂
We have all been there! I don't always have PMS, but every few months even I think I'm being a witch for a few days before realizing its just period hormones!!
💯 relatable-
idk how I STILL manage to be surprised EVERY MONTH
😂
This whole video was a mood. It’s either anger or sadness - rarely anything in between.
I've had my period for more of my life than I haven't.. and yet EVERY MONTH I'm like "WHATS HAPPENING TO ME!? IM A MONSTER! ...oh never mind." 😅
Haha, gotta get those monthly apologies in.
You are the most adorable human… I love the way you talk and your expressions. You make me smile. 😊
I love the "turns out!" Like every single month we get confused😂
Girl this is so relatable. For me it's the depression and emotionalness. I'm like why does everything feel like it's beating the crap out of me today?
I also got a "solution" 😂 Just live alone😂😂😂
You have no one around who can be attacked. So instead you just listen to your gut and eat stuff and be fine.
Instead of trying to stay functional and get a monster for 2 days.
That is actually my truth. Especially since I am not working (chronic illness took work from me) I realised how much easier it is during my period. Since I am not forced to stand all day, the period pain is waaaay down and I don't have such strong cravings too.
YES! This comment gave me so much joy! Not working can be really difficult, but being able to listen and respond to one's body is such a gift ❤
Damn, you're right 😂
Literally me. I get super emotional and angry for no reason and then I'm like "ah. that's why."
Same, always so irrational and angry week before my period. Cravings for sweet food through the roof as well. 😅
One of the best things a husband/boyfriend can do is recognize a pre-menstrual mood swing and not to overreact to how much you're being yelled at.
Wow
And the whole family. Yes im the problem bere
PMDD is literally the worst for me 😂 the bleeding part is definitely not the worst
Hahahhahaha this is so accurate !!!! The paranoid thoughts, the crying, the mood swings !!! 😂😂😂 oh it’s just the period
