But I don't know what it is!! I'm feeling very anxious about many things this morning and I'm struggling to work through them. I feel this urgency that I should be doing something, but don't have a clue as to what. I keep telling myself to relax, there isn't anything that NEEDS to be done this instant, but I cannot shake this feeling...sigh
I get all wonky when I get my period and I struggle for days and days with most everything....my obsessiveness gets alot worse, the anxiety goes through the roof.....I'm not sure I can keep this up every month but what choice do I really have, these are the cards I have been dealt I guess. sigh
I cannot believe this is my life, that this is how I have to feel every damn month, nobody should have to feel like this, it's very upsetting to me, it totally blows to have to feel this uncomfortable and unsettled. I just cannot get a grip no matter how hard I try to. I sit here and cry and struggle to collect myself, take klonopin and wait for it to pass.....don't know what else to do ya know? I don't really know where I am going with this...but thanks for reading.

And could you also make another list of things that you have to do and then take a break with some hot tea and take things one thing at a time?
Sometimes, I do stuff like that.
But I do remember the days. I can tell you this, kinda funny. About twice a year, my husband get's really really grumpy. I know it is just to much stress at work, but when my oldest daughter started and we had midol at the house, I would throw it on his lap and walk away. The first time I did it, he asked what the H*** it was for, told him to read the box, then he goes "OH" and it changed the entire thing. Now I keep a box just for that reason. After a couple days of this, I get it, throw it on his lap, the next day, the attitude is different and he apologizes says he shouldn't bring it home and take it out on me or everyone else. Bingo I tell him.
Funny, but hey it works. The look on his face the first time I did it was priceless. Wish I had had the camera ready...LOL.
Hope that put's a smile on your face.
Hugs.
SillyAnn that did give me a chuckle....thanks for that....I can only picture that face on the hubby's face!
I was just thinking this just this morning....because of my damn period, the super long stretch of PMS, that basically means that I have 2 weeks tops to have my shit together- so collectively 6 months out of the year im f*cked....

If it's making you feel that badly, your gyno should really check things out. Could be hormone problems beyond the regular period fluctuations. Ovarian cysts can be really hard to find too. Not to scare anyone, it's just worth checking out.
