P M S

This cant go on.. I cant let PMS get in my way, controlling my emotions. I ought to be the one leading my own way.
I really cant find words to describe about this pussy kicking-ass PMS feeling, Im currently under-going. Like.. this minute I can be smiling, then laughing, 30seconds later I'll be like possessed by some grumpy bitch, then next moment I'll start laughing again, then get angry for nothing, then smiling, then pissy, then.. blah blah blah the blacksheep story goes on.. You girls should know how Im feeling now, yes?! >:
Emotional Turmoil, hello? Could you please get the fuck outta mah soul puhlease!
One thing I realised when Im having PMS, I tend to be extremely huffy. MyGod, this is one Big Big Gigantic Issue man, seriously. Like this is the root of creating misunderstanding between me and him/her/them --.--

Ohwell, so I thought of google-ing everything about PMS.
Here you go, some snacks to impart in knowledge area!
Oh and and.. before it slips off my mind,
To: All innocent peeps out there that I've been venting my nasty tantrum on these days..
Im like utterly sorry. Please be a kind soul, and understand me. Hahaha ^^

What Is Premenstrual Syndrome?

The term premenstrual syndrome (PMS) refers to the physical and emotional symptoms that occur during the one or two weeks before the beginning of menstruation (the time in a woman's monthly cycle when she bleeds, also known as a woman's period). Sometimes PMS symptoms last a few days after menstrual bleeding starts

At least 80% of menstruating women have some premenstrual symptoms:

  • About 40% of menstruating women have PMS
  • About 10% have severe symptoms, a condition called premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Nine million women, or approximately five to seven percent of women of childbearing age, have PMDD.

What Causes PMS?

Experts say that the definitive cause of PMS is not yet known. However, the most likely explanation for PMS is that many women are sensitive to the hormonal shifts that occur in the second half of the menstrual cycle.

What Are The Symptoms Of PMS?

  • Fatigue: This is the most common symptom of PMS. Women with PMS may feel so tired they can barely get through the day. Some women also may have trouble sleeping at night.
  • Tension and irritability: A woman with PMS may feel very on edge. Small annoyances seem huge. Often her response is out of proportion to the problem.
  • Difficulty concentrating: Many women with PMS find it hard to do things that require concentration, such as balancing a checkbook, following recipes, or making business decisions. They may also be forgetful.
  • Anger: During PMS, normal feelings of anger are often exaggerated. A woman may be more argumentative and lash out at those around her.
  • Depression: . Sadness and crying easily are common feelings related to PMS. At times the sadness may feel profound and inconsolable.
  • Food cravings: Some women crave particular foods, such as sweets or salt. Others find their appetite for almost any food increases.
  • Breast tenderness: Many woman experience swelling and soreness around their nipples or breasts.
  • Bloating in the abdomen, hands, and legs: Some women with PMS gain weight. Others have fluid shifts to the abdomen, hands, and legs that make them feel uncomfortably swollen or puffy.
  • Headaches: Duration and severity of headaches vary from woman to woman, but are common during PMS.
Its so not-fun to be a female at all, when you know you need to suffer from all these unnecessary redundant issues. Sometimes, I hate being someone who owns a PUSSY, like seriously? --.--
