My PMS and How I Deal With It

During my "Time of the Month", I can get the worse PMS. Usually in the morning during my period, I am happy, up beat, and perky. But as the day goes on, I can snap into this other person who blows up and everything and everyone about the smallest reason. I've never had a severe case of acne until I'm on the rag. I mostly get them around my forehead around my hair line. I am always either hungry or thirsty, one or the other, and I am bloated to the point where I can't fin into my jeans and I'm always in sweat pants with a draw string. I keep to myself more when I get my period and I ignore almost everything.

With me being a young single mother of an almost 2 year old, my PMS sometimes gets the best of me and things that wouldn't bother me before that she would do, would bother me, or I'd get to a point where I would ignore everything she does until she does something wrong and I blow up. Living with my mother during this time is hell. She knows how to set me off and I find myself staying in my room just so I can avoid running into her. I get insomnia and fatigue at the same time which isn't good, I'm overly disorientated.

To help me deal with PMS, I try to stay to myself and not deal with people, I try to get some sleep when I can't, taking Midol sometimes works, although not always unfortunately not all the time. I take some time to myself and go for a walk and listen to music at the park and take my daughter with me so she can play. There's not too much I could do outside of this to just handle PMS. I've had it worse since after I had my daughter two years ago. But I deal with it or I try to at least.
