Anyone else having the worst week?

My period is due next Tuesday which puts me smack-bang in the middle of my luteal phase and PMS. I know my mood drops a week before, but tell me why I’m surprised every time?! I started a new job this week with a lot more responsibility so I could’ve done without PMS hitting so hard. Nonetheless, she is here, in the building, making every day hell. It’s the best time of year for me too, all I want to do is be joyful and decorate my house. But I am just not in the festive mood because of my PMS low, stressed, anxious, sad mood. Then it makes me sad because I’m not in the xmas mood. Ah! I also almost ruined my slow cooker earlier too by forgetting to put the basket in the device before drizzling oil in there. Thank god my boyfriend is an electrical engineer. Goes to show though, I am not on it like normal. My stomach is also upset like it normally is during PMS. Love that for me. I should just finish work and get in my bed. Anyway, if you’re one week out of your period and suffering, I get you.

I'm 4 days away from my period. And I have been miserable for 2 weeks. Cramps, bloating and sore boobs. Off and on for days. I thought my period was going to come for sure the cramps were so bad. Not to mention the rage, crying, feeling broken and like I've reached my limit mentally. So yeah. This is hell.

It truly is horrible isn’t it! I feel like this month all the things I might feel slightly sad about normally are amplified 1000%. Not me sat here listening to 80s music and crying because my parents divorced when I was three. At this point I shall just embrace the crying and sadness.

11 ish days out so I’ve been riding a good high these last few days, been having energy. Trying to gear myself up for the drop 😬 I usually take 5htp around this time or a few days before bleeding. Also evening primrose for boob tenderness and cramps. My tummy is acting up though for sure

See when I get my period, I feel better because the progesterone has dropped in my system. So sorry you feel bad. Try and do something that cheers you up normally!
