I get the world's most horrible PMS. I know there are some lucky ladies out there who do not go through it at all and all I can say to them is...'I HATE YOU!' What happens to me just before I get my period?
1. I become very greedy, and eat a lot, and become bloated. I blame the 1-2 kg weight gain on water retention. What? It's water retention, really....But I feel very, very fat and unattractive.
2. I get a massive break out on my face. On good mths, maybe 2 or 3 zits. On bad months, 5 or 6. This is a bad month. Thank god for the invention of concealer.
3. My lower back hurts like crazy.
4. I get really really bad cramps. My cramps are so bad that they can render me immobile in bed. I have to eat pills for my cramps, if not I cannot function. So I have my pills in my make up bag, at home and in the office. I have to be ready so that the pills are accessible wherever I am. There was once I finished my supply of pills and didn't get new ones. I got my period while gymming, and almost passed out. That's how bad it is.
5. But worst of all, I become an emotional wreck. I'm usually a very happy, cheerful and positive person. But 1 week before my period comes, I become this horrible monster. I can cry at the slightest thing, I get irritated very easily, I snap at almost about everything, I find fault in the tiniest of things. Like this mth, I cried for 3 nights in a row for the smallest things. Poor Dev always bear the brunt of my mood swings. Yes, even now that he's in Melbourne, he still has to go through it. The cartoon above describes me very accurately when I'm pms-ing. I can be happy one moment, to angry the next and to being weepy in another. Urgh...
I'm wondering if there's any way of dealing with PMS. It sucks... I hate getting my period. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate!
