I think I'm freaking my dear, sweet fiance out. Two weeks before I get my period I turn into this sensitive, emotional, well....girl! It used to take a lot to get me to cry. My family would gauge the sad-factor of movies and plays based on whether or not Julie would cry. If I did, then they definitely needed to bring the tissues.
Now, one cross word will send me into an emotional state. I can't stand it any more. The big fights my fiance and I have all have taken place one week before my period.
It is so frustrating. I'm not on any BCP because the hormones turn me into a bee-yatch. I tried the Depo shot...whoa! I tried the Nuva Ring, yowzer! (plus I bled for 18 days straight, seriously). I haven't been on any BCP since being diagnosed with IBS.
I feel so horrible that I can turn into this crazy person. I told DF during our last fight that I was so emotional at times that if he looked at me funny, I felt like crying. I think that really hurt him. But he really doesn't understand the female issues that I'm dealing with (never mind IBS).
Are there any herbs out there that can help with PMS? I went throught this a couple of years ago. I honestly thought I was depressed. But I guess that it sort of phased itself out.
Now it's back. Grrrr......... <sigh>
Thanks for letting me vent and for any advice, info you can give me.
