Premenstrual Syndrome

PMS – Is there truly a correct definition for it? To be more accurate and exact here is what www.answeres.com had to say.

Premenstrual Syndrome
n. (Abbr. PMS)

A varied group of physical and psychological symptoms, including abdominal bloating, breast tenderness, headache, fatigue, irritability, anxiety, and depression, that occur from 2 to 7 days before the onset of menstruation and cease shortly after menses begins.

I, personally, never thought it was true. PMS was both an excuse for women to act like bitches and an excuse for men to accuse women of their horrible behaviors. Then again maybe this is me trying to excuse my crappy behavior for these past few days.

For starters, I’m a sensitive person, you know gets hurt easily, cries a lot, all that good stuff. I have a tendency of being sad and depressed. Some might say for no reason at all. I say we all have our own battles to fight as well as our own demons.

The point is these past few days everything looks gray. All is not full of love! Sometimes I guess I just expect things when I should ask for them. That might save me a lot of time and heartache.

I won’t get into specifics, but I’ve been sad lately. Everything is the same as it was last week when I was happy. Perhaps that’s it! Perhaps it’s the lack of change. Perhaps it’s me knowing that there won’t be any change for a while

Nothing looks bright, thus the discouragement in my eyes.

Maybe I’m just throwing a tantrum. Lately I can’t really tell the difference.

A while ago a friend told me she felt abandoned. She knew people loved and cared for her. She just didn’t know how to ask for affection from them. I personally am not a very affectionate person, however, I know exactly how she felt.

I guess the point is, if I should die this very moment I would die a horribly depressed 24 year old. The worse part is…

I’m not doing much about it. At least I don’t see any progress in what I do do.

Hey! Maybe it’s just my hormones!
