Hi all.It is the week before my period and I am feeling so nasty on the inside.I am full of anger and a constant negative feeling.I hate me right now.I am also very bloated,my breasts ache,I feel pregnant.I just want to hide somewhere.Can anyone relate?I have felt like this before and I took evening primrose,it helped so I guess I should take it agian,I just need some shoulders to cry on.I hate feeling so nasty and mean.I try so hard to be positive but I am failing miserably.I feel fat and ugly,my self esteem is really rock bottom right now.I know it is hormonal but good grief I just want to cry.Help!!

I'm feeling just like you today and I should start my period next week also. I've been trying to stay busy this morning by cleaning my house. If I'm just sitting around, all I want to do is complain and bitch about everything. Even the stuff on TV. Especially all the STUPID commercials. I'm hoping the phone doesn't ring or I might not be very nice to whoever it is. My husband works nights and I'm hoping he sleeps all day, or he will be my target. It takes a lot of energy to bite my tongue all day!

I have felt that way alot, last year, it will get better, hang in there.

Then go ahead and cry......it is better than the alternative of choking someone. lol lol.You are so normal.....not to worry!!

I got outside this evening and rode bikes with my kids.It took my mind off of me for awhile-that was nice.Thanks ladies.GOD-bless

Hang in there! Things will change and you'll feel better again. It's hard to remember that when you're in it.
I go through the same feelings on a regular monthly basis...feel mad, sad, ugly, fat and depressed. I've had PMS my entire life (I'll be 45) and have gone through those types of symtoms over and over. Now that I'm in peri I have the symptoms even more.

You will feel better when you are post! I am 10 years post and life is ever so much better now! I DO not miss having a period, at all. What a huge mess and, yes, the anger and all the symptoms; they are gone now!!! Yippeee...

I feel the same way. Some days I think I really don't like the new me. I used to could handle stress and was so easy going now my husband doesn't know who I am. My grand babies don't know which grammy they will be getting from day to day. I want to be a kind loving grammy but there are days I just can't handle it. Sometimes I think I've kept my anger bottled up so well all these years that it is just brimming over now and I can't hold it down any longer-and don't know if I want to anymore. Most days I feel like a simmering volcano.
