PMS... blah.

It's only been within the past few months that I've noticed an emerging pattern in my moods around the time my period is about to start. Some emotional responses I have to PMS are: temporary uncharacteristic irritability, depression, sadness, increased interest in sex, and a distorted body image. The only physical symptoms I get are bloating and an increase in appetite.

I know that there are studies out there pointing to low serotonin levels in the brain being a major cause in PMS symptoms. There are medications out there to help, but I'm not a fan of taking drugs. I know that exercise helps. I'm sure there are other natural remedies to lessen the symptoms of PMS... but I just keep trying to tell myself this: "I am in control of my body. I will not let the symptoms control me." So, first recognize your symptoms. Then, keep thinking positively and speaking words into your life. Mind over matter!!! You never know...
