Aloha all! I think Sea prompted me to this, was catching up on the Army thread overnight (Weds morn here) and saw how "gutted" she was to have missed the thrilling pap smear! Darling, dear Sea!
Anyway, I have noticed late yesterday, and VERY much this morning I am relly shitty! Little things are getting to me......
Here's my 10 cents: As an active addict and alcoholic, I never really had moods, except drunk or anticipating the same, so I never believed in PMS and all that. Well, I have had (FOR ME) a revelation!!! I am premenstrual....OH! The relief! It hasn't really changed anything yet it has changed EVERYTHING!
Unfortunately/or fortunately I am a "natural' sort of prude (for want of a better word) Even watching sex scenes on the telly ( BY MYSELF) can make me squirm, so I have always opted out on female issues. I really want to try and change this, and be more aware of my body etc. I have all the signs (physical) of early pregnancy as well (sore boobs, puffy tummy). For many, many years I would have not even ATTEMPTED to analyise it and would have just got DRUNK - that is what I always did at the first sign of ANY discomfort.
So, I am really grateful just now, not only having made progress within myself - but also having this outlet to post what is going on.
P.S ANyone know any gentle remedies (other than herb tea) for the "moodiness" of the PMS?
One thing I am damn sure of is I ain't going to drink over it!
Thanks
