Every single time during PMS, I am rethinking my relationship. Meaning I am causing arguments over tiny things that I know I wouldn’t during any other time of the month, I am always crying and angry at him during this week, and everything good goes out the window and I focus on the tiny arguments and think the world is ending. He is so good to me and patient and reassuring I just wanted to see if I wasn’t the only one. 😩
Awww tyy! Likewise❤️
No it happens to me all the time. Believe me, you're not alone Ik that feeling sucks so much. I hope you have a supportive bf at least!
Omg he’s the best. I feel so bad for him.
Not just you it’s understandable it’s like before you start your cycle you cry and then wonder why then it comes on and you’re like…”oh. That’s why. I knew I wasn’t crying for no reason! “
You're definitely not the only one. During PMS, all of my angry, irritating, and depressing thoughts come to mind. My patience is very low and I'm much more prone to snappy behavior. Since it happens consistently each month, I now warn my fiance of this every time. I tell him that PMS is coming so I'm going to have shorter patience and can't deal with a lot. The trick is to give yourself as much alone and quiet time as possible during this time and to focus on caring for yourself. Remember that those negative feelings are just your hormones affecting you, and not necessarily something going on outside of you. Since you know your body best, once you start feeling those negative feelings come up, it's time to start warning your significant other so that they can be prepared for what's to come and to not take things you may say or do too personally. I have moments where I rethink my relationship too, but then I remind myself that I'm dealing with PMS and to rethink this in a few days. Remind yourself to not make any big or real decisions during this time. Give yourself a week and then see if you still feel this way. Usually I don't and by then usually my period has started, so I start feeling better in some ways and crappier in other ways. And then my fiance helps take care of me because I'm on my period and it makes me sad that I considered not wanting to be with him just a week ago. So I give him as much love and appreciation as possible and thank him for having patience with me.
Monthly relationship check (in the worst possible way)🫠
Omg, I was just about to make a post about the same thing.
In every relationship I’ve had, exactly 12 days before my period, I’m always rethinking my relationship and considering breaking up. It’s either because I feel like I have a “gut feeling” my boyfriend is cheating, that he’s not good enough etc.
Sadly, this has only been worse as years pass lol. I was able to control my emotions when I was younger but I don’t think I can no longer think logically during PMS 🫠
So yeah, you’re definitely not alone. For me, I try to communicate with my partner when that time comes so he’s prepared and patient and do something that makes me happy and get my mind off things. Staying in home and overthinking will only make you fell worse so when you feel the PMS blues, try going to the gym, taking a walk, meditating etc.
I’m sure that this will help you see things realistically! Just today, I did not trust my boyfriend for going to work 🤦♀️went pole dancing and I feel normal again.
Definitely not alone here!. Seems like everything hubby does or says makes my skin crawl. Then when feelings start to subside I feel so shitty. Luckily I have a very patient and understanding husband. I'm sure one day he'll get tired of it..
We just need to communicate with our partners so they’re aware.
I understand how you feel and your not the only one. This sub is amazing for all days, as well as for support, venting, and more.
Here are things that help me during the 12 days of pmsing:
Pausing between PMS thoughts when I know my pms brain is hijacked.
I tell my husband that my PMS is starting or will be, and he gives me more grace because he knows my hormones will be hijacking my thoughts and emotions and intensifying everything.
I tabletop anything that comes into my thoughts during pms. Also, Increase self-care: Journaling, gardening, yoga, meditation, exercising, and reading. I try not to be social during this time, either so I am not coming off like an a-hole.
Having a period tracker helps so much because I add my symptoms and moods, and it helps me so much to recognize when it comes on its way and when it's time to increase self-care.
This happens to me a lot lmao, we went to pride yesterday and I was so upset because I couldn’t be with women lmao
I'm on the same boat. I had to go on the mini pill because I wanted out.
Posts like this are part of why I joined this sub! It's so hard and I don't want to be the only one going through it. You're not alone ❤️ dm me if you wanna vent instead of directing it toward the bf! Cuz I totally know how it goes! Feel free to tell me all the things getting on your nerves! Maybe it'll help idk. I just relate 10000%
