    Duh Bad pms attitude

    Does anyone else have this problem? I literally quit dancing "for good" everytime I try to work a weekend before my period. I'm a super nonchalant biotch. I won't approach people. I sit in the dressing room saying there's no money but in reality I am just not cute/fun enough to be around to go get it. I might have PMDD since I have actually made MANY awful life-altering decisions while PMSing. I'm fine to work on my period (feel aggressive, powerful and hot) and I bank when im ovulating (duh). But I should just really take off the pms week everytime or else I will get myself fired for having such an attitude!! I serve no one! Right now I think I am the shit but clearly I am not the shit for having left a decent upscale club tonight with zero dollars and now I can't go back!!! Waaaahh boooo

    I personally dont really get PMS at work but I know some girls who dont work just because they dont feel sexy. Why not just do an extra day the other weeks and have a nice week off then.

    Btw I got prescribed lamictal when I told a psydoc about this. I don't think he really listened to me. He said i was bipolar and i disagree. I just have really bad pms and it interferes with living a normal life. I know that the brain looks different during pms than other times. This IS a real thing. I would be willing to take a medication but only during this one week. If you have any suggestions PLEASE I am desperate

    Also, I do take vitamins, eat low sugar/fat, and I get exercise but not that much aerobic

    My problem is I dont always know exactly when the PMS will start, it varies a bit each month so I can't really plan ahead.

    I do suffer really badly with it, I turn into a completely different person. I feel like I used to when I had depression, I dont want to leave the house, see anyone or even be around my girlfriend. One week a month I am such an unpleasant and unhappy person it drives me and everyone around me crazy

    I hateee trying to dance when I have pms. I'm extra emotional, realllly hate when guys bother me or if they say something stupid, I just want to make fun of them and be sarcastic not sell dances... I always end up asking my manager to let me go early lol pms sucks.

    Ditch the low fat nonsense - it is not that good for you! Eating low-fat everything is just not going to help you at all. Moderation is key - in everything. Learn about good fats and bad fats. Stay away from fake sugars (sweeteners) they don't help you lose weight, in fact, these chemical sugars will do the exact opposite! Try a little honey as a sweetener instead if you must. Stay off the starchy carbs - eat more veg and fruit. Good job taking vitamins - also remember that Omega 3 & 6 supplements are important. Up your aerobic exercise and look into L-Tryptophan - a safe and natural pre-cursor to serotonin production. It really helped me when I was younger and suffered from PMS.

    Aw babe! I feel you. I PMS very severely, and this month I'm all fucked up because it's my first cycle off BC since January. My hormones are nutty and I feel like a basket case.

    You might not have Bi-Polar, but usually if you have to take something for PMS it's one of those "You start it before the PMS starts things", so it won't be something that you can only take for one week of the month. Have you considered hormonal birth control, like the pill, ring or patch? That helps me a LOT. I'm a different person - better, more stable person - on my Nuvaring.

    I've never heard of L-Tryptophan for PMS, but I'm going to look it up. Thanks Mia!

    We have a PMS support thread here on SW, in fact I think I'm going to go post in it right now (if I can find it....). Maybe it'll help you feel not that alone.

    Well, couldn't you go on a birth control that makes you not have a period so you don't have the wild swings in hormones?

    Otherwise, I would research what deficiencies in your body make PMS worse-- iron, magnesium, and such and tinker around with that.

    Regarding the club, I would write a nice letter to the manager and say, "here is what occured. I am going to find some way to deal with this so that it doesn't happen again, and when I do, I am going to come back and ask to be given a second chance. I hope you give me the opportunity to prove that I'm not such a heinous bitch, nor do I expect to get away with such behavior without consequences."

    Hahaha yeah I would beg to be let back but I'm moving in a couple weeks anyway. It was kinda funny to yell "I'm quitting!!" out the side door even though nothing bad had even happened. From now on, weekend or not, bills due or not, I'm waiting till I feel awesome before thinking I can charge for my time!

    Just thought I would add that I was still nice to people on the floor but it was the cognitive dissonace messing with me. Like I was getting really pissed off at myself for being nice when I felt so disgusted. In another week when I say how horny I am or that I just want someone to have a great time I will actually mean it!

    Also I lied earlier! I eat a high fat diet. I love fat. I just meant I don't eat crrrrap and that nutrition tinkering hasn't done much for my mood swings. So I eat healthy stuff I like when I'm hungry.

    TryProp an is the turkey chemical yeah? I was trying valerian root and holy basil but they make me sleepy. Maybe I need horny goat weed and maca! >

    Even though it's a rockin Saturday I'm going to get some sushi, read blogs and piddle about the house. Very liberating to take off the day you're "supposed" to work sometimes.

    Oh a I might try a bc again but when I took it before I would skip pills and get waaay mucho periods, like bleeding myself half to death basically. I heard that because it makes your body think you're already pregnant that your sense of pheromones shifts. You no longer get attracted to the "right" kind of guy with a complementary set of genes but you gravitate towards people like fathers/brothers with a similar genetic makeup..,because if you were actually pregnant in caveman days you'd be safer with your family than hunky Harry down the trail, lol, sounds like bs but I can find you some studies on it I swear!

    ^I've never read a study that says something like that....

    Anyway, if you're missing pills frequently you can look into NuvaRing or the Depo shot, or BC implantation.

    That page just says off the pill, girls are more attracted to masculine men, but these one talk about the immune system match thing:
    http://articles.mercola.com/sites/ar...eferences.aspx
    http://www.livescience.com/2781-pill...bad-mates.html

    I'm not sexually active, so sort of risky to mess with your hormones I think...and they told me nuvaring was $80/month out of pocket. .but maybe then I might finally get better at mate picking!!! Seeing as none of them I picked off of the pill worked out! Lol

    ^ I went to Planned Parenthood and paid $27/month for my Nuvaring.

    None of those are very good scientific studies. Those are just speculative papers written on a small amount of research. I wouldn't really trust them much myself.

    I DO notice that when I'm not on the pill I'm attracted to more rugged looking men, but I think it's because whenever I'm NOT on the pill my boyfriend is away so I get super horny. Haha.

    The Pill effects everyone different, and all pills are not created equal. If it really messes with you in a bad way then don't stay on it! I love my BC, but a lot of women don't feel right on it. It's a very personal thing.

    I'm sure there are other things you can do to help with PMDD. Maybe make a Dr. Appointment?

    BTW - I went on Yaz for a while, it's supposed to help with PMDD but I don't know if I'd recommend it. I still don't know what to make of that BC.

    It's kind of like how everyone starts talking about global warming during the summer...I'm concerned now, but will not even remember how disruptive this was until next month. Thank you for your support and suggestions though!!! I really felt "not alone" since eeeeevery chick gets it to some degree.

    i'm so with you. i can actually tell right when my period starts, because there's this little bitty twinge of pain and my mood makes a 180 degree turn from complete angst to near-bliss. i really wish i'd figured out a bit sooner how nuts i get before my period. i would've saved myself from some bad decisions.

    one difference though is that ovulation is horrible for me. it's probably my most likely shift to leave owing back house. i'll spend all night getting asked for dates and told how nice i am, that i shouldn't do this, whatever. or they just ask me for sex. but not for money. oh no, i should consider their offer of a good dicking an honor, apparently.

    best nights have all been during my period.

    it's not a period when you bleed because you aren't taking your pills as scheduled. it's a reaction to wonky estrogen levels.

    when i went on the pill, it had a major effect on my moods. i was so much happier. i became way less horny, almost no sex drive at all. but i was checking out totally different guys than usual. i usually like skinny, sweet looking types. and i was suddenly noticing the gym types and hollywood-hot faces. i wasn't actually interested in them, but the fact that i was checking them out was just weird. i may as well have been checking out my brother.

    so i totally agree about the genetics bit, but totally disagree about the "masculine" bit.

    i've been off it 2 months now. i'm horny again. i like cute guys again, and ignore the big, strong guys. and omg, i love how i smell. the whole year i was on the pill, something was just so off about the way i smelled. i wonder if my actual smell changed, or it it was my sense of smell. still, i'm thinking of going back on because of the mood thing, and because it was nice to not always be horny.

    Take those days off. That is the beauty of being a dancer. You work for yourself and can set your own schedule.

    I get kinda sensitive and bitchy but more than anything BLOATED and I just feel gross. I usually don't work when I'm feeling like this because I literally cannot talk myself into going (there is NO way I could put on a teeny little outfit or get naked looking/feeling like that

    So I can somewhat sympathize. If I can get my ass there I usually do ok. For some reason it's always when am feeling crummy that I do really well...
