Oooh, the stress!

Posted by: Hermione on Thu Sep 25, 2008
I am a natural worry-wart. I worry about everyone, I worry about everything. I'm a good listener, so people tend to talk to me about their problems, which stresses me out because I'm worrying, and trying to help and...BAH! Thus, I have a lot....a LOT of stress in general. Usually, I'm pretty capable of handling it. But when it's getting close to That Time, I totally end up freaking out. I feel SO bad for my DH, because he takes the brunt of it, since I'm so busy trying to not let anyone else see how bothered I am. Crying is a common occurrence, and I'm seriously just not happy. I also get the sore boobs, the fatigue (sometimes -very- severe, since I'm also anemic and have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), and cravings. My cravings change every so often. It started out as chocolate and cheesy Doritos, went to Sunny Delight, then cereal...but I've found that if I make sure I don't indulge in the cravings, I don't have cramps! If I do, however, my cramps are so debilitating.

My stress-level sky-rocketing is the worst, though. I -hate- feeling like that. Even my husband said "You're going to put yourself in the loony bin if you keep letting yourself get so stressed."
