Oh brilliant!
Great I agree, would be great to stay this way
I feel like crap today, totally ungrateful for everything and in a pit of self-righteousness and feeling empty, like I want things, money, possessions, I feel pissed off and let down. I hate feeling this way but I don’t know how to turn it off either.
I’m sorry you are feeling this way. Ride the feelings today and tomorrow will hopefully be better I find calming music extremely helpful, like the kind they play in a massage parlor. (Not sure what genre that is considered lol)
I was feeling really angry and annoyed at the whole world a few days ago but it passes as it normally does
I know that feeling all too well @badger and I wish I had some great advice but I don’t. Hope it’s short lived and sending positive healing vibes your way.
Hang in there @Badger. You are worthy and not crazy for feeling this way. Hold tight until these feelings pass.
This is brilliant!
I think I found my tribe
I suffer from PMS and I think I even may have PMDD, but I first need to discuss this with my Doctor. Around 2 weeks before my period starts I feel like another human being. Everything feels way worse as it is. I googled the symptoms and mine fit.
I have to wait some weeks before I have my appointment so I began to take lavender capsules for my anxiety and racing thoughts. Only walking and moving my body isn’t enough.
Positive side effect: it lowers my blood pressure It’s always a little too high because I’m NEVER relaxed. I’m always “ready to fight”. And this is why I really need to see my Doctor. It could be PMDD because my symptoms get worse before my period starts. But I’m never really relaxed so who knows?
I also have Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects my hormones. Yeah, I won the lottery I know
Have a beautiful day girls, even if your hormones kick your ass.
Welcome to this small community which over 50 % of human are part of
Day 1 for me and I am actually glad how the visit of my friend went in the light of this. I am also grateful that suicidal thoughts are not part of pms for me at the moment. Won’t miss them. So today I am grateful I can spent the day at home, doing excessively nothing and drinking one hot chocolate after the other. Glycemia only hit me hard today. Vicious chocolate cycle
I do the same today lol. And now I know what I forgot to buy yesterday: oat milk and cocoa powder
Started yesterday and holy hell am I angry today. The current thing that is bothering me is the lack of division in the household chores, as in there isn’t any. While we both have full time jobs, I technically have 2 since I’m the only one that cleans. I get so tired of fucking cleaning especially when he is just sitting there looking at his phone. Why don’t I just say something? Well because he acts like a child and does the task but then I have to redo it. Ie-the dishes. He rushes and they will still be dirty it’s better to just do it myself even though it pisses me off.
I hear you, this division of chores is crap. Especially when hormones bug us it is harder to stand it. Might try an open communication on the issue when you’re in a stable mood? To be honest, here for me it changed nothing but I tried my best and got it off my chest to the right person - my husband.
Send you a big big hug
I have brought it up multiple times over the years and he will help here or there but never just because only when I ask.
Thank you for the hug
Oh, that sucks. I am glad I can only blame me but this is often also very tiring. I hate cleaning the apartment. I am grateful I am back into small apartments.
I remember a roommate who was the reason I said, okay well it’s officially the end of me and roommates. It was so when it was his turn and we girls were just not strong enough to sit it out. I have really no advice.
Same here. I read somewhere this is one of this men-women-communication-thing. But: who are we? their nanny always to tell them what to do?
send you another round of hugs
Same here! This has been one of the best parts of ending my previous relationship. I don’t want to have to constantly reteach a man how to properly wash dishes or scold for smearing dirt and grease all over walls & light switches. And when I am hormonal and tired the last thing I want to do is yell and pick up after another adult. It’s just me, my mess, and I.
Please take comfort in this scene re-enactment of my husband anytime he cleans something new:
Him: “Em!”
Me: “Yes”
H: “Have you seen how dirty the (fill in the blank with an item, most recently it was the underside of the sink stopper) gets?!?!”
M: Trying to stay calm because I am apparently the only person who has cleaned it for the last 6 years “yep, that is dirty”.
Take today for yourself @Runningfree and stop cleaning. I can get pretty resentful pretty fast when I’m hormonal.
Thanks guys. I went back to sleep and just going to be lazy. Which doesn’t make me feel much better because I’ll just have to clean tomorrow. I did get grocery shopping done today and some cleaning before I went back to bed.
Tomorrow I have to take my car to the shop and that’s another thing that gets under my skin. Like if we are in traditional men-women divides why am I taking my car to the shop?! Ugh I’m just angry. Sleeping the day away is probably for the best.
@TrustyBird that sounds like a conversation that could be had here only I wouldn’t have had the same last response
Take care of you. Sadly the cleaning will probably still be there tomorrow. Rest up.
