Help for Women Who Suffer with Intense PMS and PMDD

I know men like to joke about how much of a meanie their wives/girlfriends can be when we are approaching and on our monthly cycles.  It took me a really long time to figure out what really was going on with me....I mean I only JUST figured it out a few years ago, thanks to a friend basically telling me, "Girl, you have PMDD BIGTIME!!"  What the HECK was that?  I had no idea....So I had to find out....All of my research left my jaw hanging open and tears in my eyes, when I looked back in fast frame motion, to the times I had just lost my shit over something that maybe wasn't THAT big a deal...I realized in hindsight, I truly suffered from PMDD, a potentially relationship sabotaging issue.

My research led me to this amazing woman, who really tells it like it is, AND may I point out, gives the guys a little something they need to get through all of this monthly "Jekyl and Hyde" mood swinging that can make a woman seem....well....downright crazycakes!!

Knowing about these things of course makes one have those "aaaahhhhaaaaa" moments when things all seem to make sense now!  I feel compelled to share as much information as I can to help others who may not yet have come across the answers to WHY they feel so angry, unhappy, and horribly tired and hopeless every 14 - 21 days or so....

Here are some explanations I need to remind myself when I can't seem to care if I wash a dish, pick up anything, or...well....anything!!!  It is a chemical, hormonal problem and it does need understanding.....

I would love to suggest something to help you calculate where you are in your monthly cycle to help you pinpoint times that might not be so good for making major event plans, etc. I use an application on my smart phone that I got from the google play store called Period Tracker, and after trying several THIS is my favorite one!  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.popularapp.periodcalendar
You can track your mood, physical symptoms, everything!  You just add the day you start your period and the tracker tells you when you will be ovulating and when your next period is due...It's pretty awesome.  This helps me realize OH YEAH!  I am flipping O-U-T because I am just 8 days away from my period!!  Then I can make arrangements to take better care of myself accordingly.  Obviously getting to know yourself and your cycle is very important.  Do what helps YOU to get through this time.....
