The PMS Monster

For the first time in years (well, since 2008 if my archives are right!) I have spent the past week, give or take, absolutely crippled with horrific PMS symptoms. Uber cramps, lethargy, insomnia, bloating, stress, carb cravings, you name it: I’m suffering with it.

But… worst of all, I seemed to have developed the emotional stability of a toddler. Crying just because. Raging at things completely out of anyone’s control. Sudden need to be attached to the nearest human that will tolerate it. General overwhelming neediness.

I suddenly empathise with my 2 year old.

    Speak to your GP Jem, It seems you have a hormonal problem. Most likely after Ollie your natural ryhthm hasn’t settled back to where it should be. You know where I am if you want a shoulder to cry on. *hug*

      More likely the birth control pills I’m on filling me full of artificial hormones :P

    It’s definitely the birth control pills! Same thing happened to me >.< Your body thinks it's pregnant, so you become hysterical.
