sorry you're struggling so much today. :(

Maybe you should talk to a dr about your hormonal problems. They may be able to help you. You shouldn't have to suffer like this every month.

Aww tats, I'm sorry. You know it's the hormonal surge. It's time to break out the bigs guns before you start crying.

Are you in a position to take a day off -- from the world?

First, medicate yourself. Something for pain or anxiety or both. Then go take the hottest bubblyist bath you can stand. Put on some soft and fuzzy pjs. Make you a cozy spot on the sofa. Put all your goodies around you -- laptop, looms, books, tv remote, some nice tea.

By now, whatever you took should be kicking. Tune the whole world out and do things YOU enjoy. Eat what you want today. Tell everyone in your house that you are not well and you need either some help or to be left alone.

That is my recipe - then you should be feeling better by tomorrow.

Love ya, tats!!!!

Thanks Mojo and becky.

The doc just talks about the PILL....but heart attacks run in my family so not willing to chance it.....sis had one at 36yo!! And had been on birth control for years! And I really think that the pill has something to do with that.

Thanks MK.....a day off sounds good to me...I just don't know how to stop.....I'm so upset and want my life where I had a job and was working and had money when I needed it ya know?? I didn't need help from anyone.....and now its assistance for everything.....WTF?? I had a good job with my own insurance, 401 and dental....now nothing.....not a fucking thing!!!!

Do you have a prn??? Take it, sweetie.

I do know what you mean. Right now your emotions are multiplied by 100. Some months I've stopped just short of chopping somebody up in little pieces and calling it justifiable.

I agree with you about the pill. Was never an option for me either. My sister had a stroke at 42 and it was from taking the pill and smoking. Also, most doctors are unsympathetic about PMS or PMDD. That's because they have no idea. Advocate for yourself - insist they give you something for symptom control. I take two tylenol and a Klonopin. Sometimes, herbal tea.

Try to keep in mind.....

PMS = Putting up with Men's Shit.

well you know your doing it and do the people your fight with know what is going on if they do it may not be so bad becaosue your getting support from them i guess this would be the postive side but i guess you have to find a better coping macanism becaosue it is making you very unhappy is there something you can take to get throught the time

Aww im so so sorry you are feeling like this, please try & remember that are truly a beautiful person inside & out, trust me i got an 'In' on this one, i know what im talkin about, in other words =o) You really are an awesome person, i could go on & on all day about how wonderful you really are. But my back is all messed up so i cant. Just keep in your brain it will all be over soon enough, you know that, this happens every month & yes it sucks monkey balls, but that the price we pay to be a women, oh joy, i know.
i love ya girl, hang in there.
MEGA HUGS

Thanks Dee, you are a sweetheart and I love you too!

I have klonopin and may have to take a seroquel but am trying hard not to......don't deal well with being tired. Feel screwed no matter what I do!

What I'd like to do is call and cuss out the doctor but I know that it will get me know where but probably fired. When I get like this I want to fight and yell and even hit people......I know it sounds crazy but I can't help how I feel, if I knew what to do be make it all go away I would.

acting on those thoughts will make it worse so verbal talking about them is the best reamdy

I took a klonopin but when I get this upset not much helps....sigh

I made some pumpkin muffins to try and distract myself but couldn't stop thinking about slicing my wrists wide open......big sigh

I hate this....and the fucking chat isn't working yet and I really need to talk to someone here.....my son comes home early today because it's a half day of school and I don't want him seeing me like this, I've got to pull it together. sigh This really sucks.

Maybe the klonopin is working a bit...and writing here too because don't feel as agitated as I was.......I appreciate everyone's help I really do.

This to shall pass...and I hope soon . for you
hugs

((tats69)) I hope you feel much better in a few days. I like what MK posted. A day of being kind to yourself is a good way to go. I often post that too. Drink some good herbal tea and chill out. Glad the Klonopin is working for you.

sorry you feel so crappy. I would avoid any triggering arguments if I were you. maybe a long walk after talking to your doc or counselor? just a thought.

Hey tats :/

Everyone here has Good advice, but just wanted to stop in to say I hope you get to feeling better! I never like hormones, gosh-darn them >:(

Lots of hugs and love today -

Yes, I too am a equal oppturnity hater. I especially hate myself.

God, people, animals can love and forgive me.

I can't forgive myself. But finally knowing that I have had an mental illness helps me starting to forgive myself.
