The PMS'ing bitch from hell !!!

The BBQ Pit

Yes, I’m talking about myself - is it ok to flame yourself?

Yep, I got PMS. You wanna make something of it? :wink:
Why does PMS get worse as we age? Heck, I am only in my mid 30’s - how much worse am I going to get? I imagine it will be sooo bad when I am 45 that there will be a hit out on me.

In my 20’s I didn’t even suffer from PMS
( husbands opinion may differ ) It is only when I hit my 30’s that all hell breaks loose about 2 days a month.
My poor husband - he is a saint through it all, he knows that once a month I ask for a divorce, and a few days later I will be fine, apologizing for being a bitch, and then everything is happy again, for another 4 weeks or so.

I notice that I get alot more impatient during this time of the month - the drivers on the road piss me off - the clerks at the store take their sweet time, my kids fight more than normal - I swear, everyone is out to piss me off!!!

Anybody have PMS like I do?
Be careful with your reply, you DO NOT want to piss ME off today. :wink:

oops…sorry, I thought this thread was about me…

Take some chocolate ice cream, Kahlua and vodka. Stir. Put in blender. Add bottle of Midol. Frappe.

Works wonders.

Stormi, I am SO with you, sister!

I’m in my (mid? early? hell, I’m 33) thirties, and my PMS has gotten worse, too. I even asked my gynecologist about it. She said it’s normal for PMS symptoms to change as you get older.

For me, PMS changes from month to month. That’s the beauty of it, I think. I, and those who try very hard to love me during this difficult time, never know what it’s going to be like with each passing period. This month (this week, actually) is Flaky Month. My head was buried so far up my ass that even my freaking 97 year old great-grandmother was asking me “are you okay, dear?” I am not kidding! The day before my period started, I was telling my husband about my recto-cranial inversion problem, and he very gently asked me “honey, is it, you know, almost that time?” I thought about it, and realized yeah, it was! I was so screwed up I couldn’t even read a calendar.

Flaky Month is kind of funny, in a Chrissy Snow-meets-Gerald Ford kind of way. I can’t remember if I’ve tied my shoes, but by the time I’ve realized that I haven’t, it’s too late–I’ve already fallen down the steps.

I think I like Psycho-Vixen-Bimbo-Bitch-From-Hell Month better, though. It’s soooooo much nicer to be able to hurt other people instead of hurting myself!

Oh, and Stormi? I read that line in your OP about asking your husband for a divorce once a month to my husband. He just looked at me, raised one eyebrow (he can do that, damn him all to hell), and continued eating his popcorn. Which smells really, really good right now…

Wow! I act like a bitch and it has nothing to do with PMS… it’s just… me!

My best suggestion would be to workout more. But that’s my suggestion for almost everything. I used to have severe cramps but not since I took up weigh lifting and running. As for PMS making you bitchy? Are you sure you are not just a bitch by nature?

Ok, kind of sympathetic to the gals, kind of to the guys–not trying to piss anyone off (though if y’all are PMSing it doesn’t matter).

Married 11 years here, and I can count on 3 or 4 days a month of not doing anything right. Alright, I’m educated and understand hormones, and I just grin (grit my teeth to a nub) and bear it. But then I get in a bad mood–possibly hormonally related as research shows–and I’m just being an asshole. Ladies, if we have to put up with your shit, why don’t you put up with ours?

You get pissy now and then. We like sports, beer, and looking at 18 year-old blondes in leather pants (Oh, Jeez, the trouble I got into in Savannah this weekend). Can’t we all just get along?

Stofsky -
what are you doing looking at 18 year olds in leather pants? Isn’t she young enough to be your daughter ?? :wink:

Hey, at least us women have a good excuse for our bitchiness!!! I wish men got periods too… I can only imagine the whining they would do !
Yes, we can get along. Just don’t piss me off - lol.
Byz - hey, you calling me a bitch? :wink:
watch it. Yes, I might be a bitch by nature, but I don’t want to admit it. Better to blame it on something / someone else!!

Persephone - are we twins?!!
I can really relate to the flaky part :rolleyes:

m feeling alot better today -

Yeah, I used to get bitchy around that that time. As I move into my late thirties, I’ve noticed a change. Now instead of just mean and irritable, I’ve turned manic-depressive. Whatever I’m feeling becomes vastly magnified. Irritation turns to rage, happiness turns to downright giddiness, a slight depression plunges me into a black pit of despair. Luckily, these moods tend to come and go quickly, and I’m getting so I can recognize the warning signs. This keeps me from quitting my job in a snit, or throwing my clothes in the car and heading for Mexico. I wonder what my '40’s will bring. Homicidal mania? A red convertible and 18-year-old cabana boy?

How fucking dare you let yourself have PMS?! Calm the fuck down before I pimp slap yo’ ass! Now get back in the kitchen, bitch!

Hey Freak -
come a little closer and say that -
closer…closer…

oops… sorry, didn’t mean to hit ya with that fryin’ pan.

I warned ya !

Nah, my daughter’s only 5. I got married young. Anyhow, this weekend on vacation, my wife hit me for looking at the eye candy on River St. in Savannah, but then she damn near drooled over the minor-league baseball guys in the blues club.

Like I said, studies show that men have hormonal surges too. We just don’t get credit for them. Chicks are PMSing, guys are assholes. And god forbid we should ask…

Stofsky,
Actually you are the first guy I have ever “met” who admitted that there may be a ( hormonal ) reason for being an asshole.
I do believe men have the time of their month too.
( heck , some men’s last allll month - oops, did I say that out loud? )
If women’s hormones can go wacky, so can men’s.

Here’s a thought… they say men get mid-life crisis’…
do women?

Oh I know they do. Most of them don’t know it, though, until we gently point it out to them. Then they accuse us of being hormonal bitches, and then we have to thwack them with frying pans, and then they get all pissed off, when there was nothing for them to get pissed off about in the first place, because they were the ones with PMS this time, not us, but they just don’t get it…
