Grumpy!

blondie_brownie · 2014-06-23T00:59:07+00:00

Thankfully, I get my period very regularly. The two days before my period I can get a little out of control if I don't contain myself. My husband keeps track (and I warn him) so we're both very gentle on those two days. I also practice a LOT of self-control. My rule is generally if it bothers me in an hour, I can say something about it. I hardly even remember what happened that made me upset after an hour. I don't ask for alone time, he'd see that as rejecting him. I just constantly remind myself that what I'm feeling is only hormonal.

I mostly get cuddly but in a quiet kind of tired way. My SO was always really good about just letting me put my head on his chest and listen to his heartbeat.

So meditation I guess? That's what I'd call it.

Mine's a little irregular, so I can only kind of guess when it's coming. I'm usually a ball of emotions, though. C uses his typical tactics for calming me down if I'm getting fussy (primarily poking fun at how fussy I am) and checks on me to make sure I'm feeling okay.

Sex is also a great way of fixing the PMS attitude, at least in my experience. Relieves any kind of cramping and bad attitude I may have at the time.

I tend to write in a diary. Mainly so I take my frustrations out in my writing and not on my husband.

When I get really bad and need some space I usually tell hubby I am going to the grocery store. I usually causally stroll the store looking for new ingredients to use in cooking. Then I go home and cook which usually gives me plenty of space since hubby knows the kitchen is my domain. And I usually whip up some form of comfort food that is bad but oh so tasty. (Usually pasta/bread/potato based meal of some form since I really try not to eat it any other time)

Or if I really angry I go to a boxing class. Keeps me healthy and gets the anger out

Fortunately my PMS is not too bad. When I get stressed I drink hot chocolate. Sometimes if there is something that really bothers me, I tell my SO, but I don't yell or be rude about it. Sometimes it's better not to fight the stress. Just know that's it's going to be there, accept it, and try to make sure it doesn't hurt anyone.

I just inform my husband that I'm grumpy and try to stay out of his way and do my own thing. If he wants to hang out we just keep it a low stress activity, but usually he's got other stuff he can work on.

PMS or not, I try to think before I speak. I'm really type A to begin with so petty things annoy me a lot of the time. I just recognise that these are my problems and not anyone else's. they are also (usually) irrational and i will internally talk myself down. I'll sometimes vocalise that I'm grumpy, like "I'm feeling really ____ this afternoon, I hope I'm not being too unbearable." If it gets really bad I'll start a project to refocus/regroup and that usually helps. This doesn't just apply to my SO, everyone deserves to be treated in a calm, respectful manner.

Honestly recently I did something dumb. I threw a bitch fit over him not taking care of my car issue. I had to go to a little shop where guys were making me uncomfortable so I took it out on him. Oh I made an ass outta myself. We fought via text off an on. When he got home I immediately apologized. He smiled and listened to me and nodding. Its been a long while but I can't admit I went nuts.if its gonna happen it happens 2 weeks before my period every time. Thank God he loves me.
