Pms

hey...
i think i've got pms. my period should be arriving in a few days,
the past week i've been feeling really iritable, little things make me upset, i'm annoyed when my bf doesn't do things my way, burst into tears at things that normally wouldn't bother me. this has been getting worse only this term. i didn't used to suffer from pms. also my sleep is getting disrupted, i used to sleep really easily and until morning. now i find it hard to sleep and keep waking up at least 4 times in the nite...
is there nething i can do? i dont' think i can take it, or my bf can take it if it gets worse..
xxxxx

i have this exact same problem. everything a week before my period sets me off. i mean today, i started crying in the middle of an ict lesson for absolutally no reason.

i will give you this advice though. if you want to stay with your boyfriend, then i suggest you keep away from him during this week, because it causes some pretty nasty consiquences when boys don't understand why you are being all crazy. this month, like most months, my boyfriend has had enough of my tears and tantrums and is now thinking our relationship through. trust me, either try to explain it to him without getting mad at him, or just stay away from him. i too have had this problem only since i started college, or, as you said, this term. i hate putting him through it every month, but i do it without fail and it is wrecking our relationship. i know it's all my fault too and this stupid pms. he thinks i use the same excuse every month to try and get out of why we fight, but it's the only logical reason. this time though, after having 4 months of it, i think my tom has definately been scared off for life. so do something about it before it's too late, like i left it too late.

i also have the same problems with the sleep. i am constantly tired the week before hand, and i get very very irritable at everyone. again, i'm now trying to take deep breaths when i feel myself getting angry and i walk away from the problem.

if you find it is getting too much though, and you can't control it, then go and see your gp.. he will (or might?) prescribe you the pill and that is suppose to help with pms.

I have really bad PMS, but my boyfriend is really helpful. I talked to him about it (when I didn't currently have it) and just explained to him that my PMS is really bad, and he just has to be patient with me and look after me a bit. I explained that I get irritated about stupid stuff and cry about silly things, and he was really lovely about it. If your boyfriend loves you then he won't mind and will be mature about it. Also if it really gets him down, maybe do some work for a couple of nights instead of seeing him so that he gets a bit of a chance to have a break and work out how to be more patient.

I reckon talk to him and explain it when you're rational. If he's mature, he won't let it ruin your relationship at all.

I can tell my period is due when I start crying at TV programmes.

That's about as emotional as I get.
