The worst part is that (for me at least) I often *know* the feelings are irrational but I can't do anything about them besides lock myself away and wait for it to pass. It honestly feels like being possessed at times.
You got that on the dot! It seriously is uncontrollable sometimes. You know your being stupid or overreacting but you just do it anyways and can't help it!
My wife is pregnant right now. We're getting to the end and the wild hormone swings have given way to plain old bone tiredness now, but earlier she would cry literally at nothing. One time she started bawling at a dog food ad on the TV, because "the little boy looked so sad!" She knew it was ridiculous and she was laughing at herself the same time but, man.. I can't imagine what it's like to have your mind short circuit like that. Women are troopers.
PEOPLE. For crying out loud PMS is a syndrome that only rarely affects women. If you're experiencing it go to a doctor cause it's not normal, more likely you're just buying into the social media crap saying that all women get it, which is 100% NOT TRUE.
Guest if you're a girl just because you don't pms as bad as other women doesn't mean that it's all in the rest of women's heads. But if you're a guy than HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW?!
You probably also believe women don't cycle together. News flash: THE UNITED STATES NAVY CAN CONFIRM THAT WOMEN DO, IN FACT, INFLUENCE AND SYNCHRONIZE EACH OTHERS' CYCLES.
OMG!! My mom has told me that her and her best friend used to start their periods at the same time and my big sister said that her and her best friend used have their periods at the same time and my mom said that her and my big sister used have their periods at the same time for a while. My mom had to have her uterus taken out because it got cancer so she doesn't have her period anymore but she still had all of the menopause symptoms. Anyway when I get my period she says that she sometimes gets a few of the symptoms even though she doesn't cycle anymore. So I know that it's true. It's kind of weird...
Confine 60 females to an area the size of a three story office building in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and trust me, you'll see the undeniable evidence.
Fun fact: It wasn't labeled, but on my ship's calendar on the intranet there was one week a month with a red bar across the bottom so everyone knew and could plan accordingly.
When asked by non-shipmates, we said that it was based on a statistical analysis we'd done and that was when the ship's store always ran out of chocolate. It was fun to see who figured it out.
