irritable, hungry, need some advice

[jess990]

So, about 5-7 days before my period, i get really foggy headed and irritible, I am bored, don't want to do anything, hungry beyond belief, like I have a tapeworn or something. You know that feeling you get when nothing satisfies your appetite, I get that way for a couple of days along with an annoying headache - anyone else? I am very irritible, just grumpy, what do I do for this?
I am having a hard time, my mother and I no longer talk because, well basically, she is evil. My exhusband and I share custody of my 12 year old daughter and my mom has her on his weekends and spoils the hell out of her and she comes back with an attitude and I don't know how to handle this. She only takes her and spoils her to **** me off, I know this, how do I not get irritated about it?? How do I handle this? I am so worried about what she is telling her and that she will turn her against me. She never spends time with the kids but now that we are not talking, she is making a point to do this and my ex husband allows it because he also knows it will **** me off. I am soo mad right now!!

I am still very grumpy. Had a couple good days but really grumpy again. I can't seem to snap out of it, I don't even know why I am grumpy but I am ready to bite someone's head off. I woke up in the middle of the night really angry with my mom. I feel like maybe I have encheplittas or syphilis and am losing my sanity!!!!

Thanks for the response. What kind of pill takes away the symptoms? Do you take anything and has it helped? I think I am more sensitive to things but this thing with my mom has been ongoing and it has come to a head and I have to realize that the only relationship I can have with her is at a distance. It is hard because we were inseparable for so long, she was my only friend, as distorted as that friendship was. I miss her but the drama and cruelty cannot go on. I am sad for her but I don't know what I can do for her anymore...

i am the same way. i always say i get maybe one good week out of the month because of my period. because it can start as early as 2 weeks before my period, everyone can tell and they stay out of my way. have u spoke to your doctor about this? he may give u a nerve pill to calm u . also my doc told me about a new med, that takes your symptoms away. as for your family maybe its just because u are premenstral that u are being really sensitive to things, and u get set off easy. i am the same way, and it *****. the only thing thats works for me is i try to think about what i am going to say before i say it. my daughter is 10 and she thinks she knows it all, and very sarcastic, its like she will say or do things that will push my buttons. but if i act like it does not bother me she will stop. as for your mother, mine is evil too..lol but i got sick of fighting with her, and we talk every now and then. but at least it keeps the peace. hope u feel better :-)
