Don't mind the crazy lady

[brightlotusmoon]

And there I go again, emotional whirlwind.
Oh, fuck, how I despise PMS.

I want to stop bloating up until I can't fit into my regular size 4 pants and need a week's stock of size 6 pants (yes, I'm still small, that's not the point, shut up). I want to stop being irritable and emotional at every single little thing. I want to stop being so prone to seizures for two weeks. I want to stop stressing and panicking over old anorexia triggers in the mirror.

Of course, I can try and soothe all of this. Time for Dandelion Root and Burdock Root and Passion Flower, Hyaluronic Acid and Lemon Balm and Inositol. I've calmed down considerably now already.

I don't even know what I'm thinking now. I need to take my seizure medication before my brain explodes.

I'll be better tomorrow. Fewer mental explosives.

My husband starts driving home from California tomorrow.

So it'll be okay.

Here, how about this:

That's about how I feel.

Starting tomorrow! I think part of this is anxiety over knowing I'll see him on Sunday. :D

Last night, I PMSed in my dreams.

It was about tacos.

I have never done that before. XP

Mmmm, tacos.

I tend to crave red meat during PMS and menses, myself.

[fire_my_spirit]

Me too. Also when I hate people.

I feel you, girlfriend.

I know it'll be better soon, but this up and down with my hips has got to stop (inches, I mean).
I honestly can't tell if it's fluid retention, fat, muscle, or something else, but my hips will go up two inches on any given day for no reason -- and then go back down two days later.
It's the very annoying difference between buttoning my pants and squeezing them over my hips.

Try flared skirts with elastic or drawstring in the waist? Or even buttoned ones.

I remember back when I used to wear pants, that was one way I could tell when my period was coming, was when I was suddenly writhing around on the bed trying to get them on. Now I wear only skirts for a multitude of reasons, and I don't notice any difference at all when I'm bloating, so long as they're nice and flared. With enough fabric stuck to you even two inches won't make a difference! They're also so much more comfortable when I'm actually on my period because they allow me to wear the giant overnight pads I favor without feeling like I've got a diaper crammed into my crotch.

Second-hand stores often have a lot of nice skirts hanging around. Between my mom making my skirts for me for presents, second-hand stores, the free bins around my campus, and our instinct for bargain hunting, I don't think I've paid more than $8 for a skirt in years.

I need to convince myself to wear skirts more often anyway. I love patterned elastic-waisted flared skirts that go below the knees. :)

i have bad PMS too. i had to go on a prescription medication for it because the emotions were srsly out of control. I still have PMS tho. if i take a b-complex, calcium and magnesium it really does help.
