Weird things you do before/during your period

allandanyways

This may already have been done to death, but I'm sitting here in my fabulously clean room, which is so clean, it's positivley squeaking, and feeling ever so nauseous as I always am the first week of every month.

I am an absolute cleanaholic the 2 days before my period and I feel sick for the 5 days, non-stop, always the same. I do weird things too, like alphabetise stuff that's gotten mixed up over the course of the month, or organise photo albums. I'm never bothered doing any of these things any other time of the month, so attribute them to my hormones.

Anyone else do weird things around that time of the month?

I get unbelievably lazy. I literally won't eat unless it's brought to me cause it'd involve me getting off the couch.

ciagr297

i spend an entire day dropping everything i pick up....and getting incredibly embarrassed and blushing (which i don't normally do)

lets see, what else?

losing my balance for example falling off my heels (which are low wedges and incredibly difficult to not balance on), falling out of bed

its like i lose all sense of my own body

funny but a bit un-nerving:D

liah

I don't do anything weird, per se, just get a little ticked off.

I do HATE showering when it's the time of the month. I have no idea why. And I still do shower. But it's such a pain in the arse for some reason. I love showers the rest of the month though.

Nothing really. But my right eye just goes a bit weird. A day or two before hand it keeps twitching, and it looks like Im winking at everyone. So at least two days a month every lad thinks I want some, and the women think I'm going all lesbionic on them :rolleyes:

Nightwish

I spend most of the day in front of the tv. I lose my appetite so I usually dont eat anything more substantial than toast. Oh and I spend longer in the shower, as my hair gets greasier and I get spotty breakouts.

I don't think I do anything abnormal ;

- Crave chocolate

- Get in pissed off, emotional moods over very little

- Curse men for getting off so lightly! :mad:

Coul be tiredness too, I don't sleep too good during mine, probably that internal temp. rise, so I get restless, less sleep=twitchy eyes...:D

I get crippling lower back pains when I lie down so need to lie on my front with my knees pulled up to my chest some nights. Oh and I cry every night before my period starts, can be at Greys or a soppy ad, but the littlest thing sets me off.

Thanks Ginny, but its not the tiredness. This happens to me evvvvvery month since they started. I asked a doctor about it before ( I felt stupid asking) and he told me it happens to some women. Something kicks off hormonally and something about a nerve in the eye. I was half out the door at this stage

I get crippling lower back pains when I lie down so need to lie on my front with my knees pulled up to my chest some nights.

I've never suffered with mine, they are always light and only last a couple of days. But my sister does, and she is in ribbons (did I say that? ) every month. That was until she started taking Evening primrose oil everyday, she swears by it. Give yourself a months worth before you are up on blocks again

Oh and I cry every night before my period starts, can be at Greys or a soppy ad, but the littlest thing sets me off.

:eek: See above!

Ginny

Oh Cheers...will try them so..:D

The day before I get incredibly horny and even if I had sex several times with several different times I still couldn't get rid of the itch.

snazzy

I get really really hot. Like seriously. You could fry an egg on my skin on the first day.

Then I am usually quite weepy. Will cry easily enough.


Eat like it's going out of fashion.

I do tend to be cleaner some days but I usually lack energy and will to finish what I start cleaning.

I feel the need to dance alot as well, you know, just in front of the tv

And yes, itchy.

NewFrockTuesday

The cleaning thing too. I get really annoyed if stuff is out of place. Normally it might bother me a bit but Ill tip about and fix things up. The two days before hand I feel really stressed and insecure anad tidying becomes a war of slamming stuff back in cupboards and mutterring to myself. Its like the second day off the fags every single month.

I seriously swear every month that Im going to get happy pills for the next month - having not much of an idea what "happy pills" actually are. Solphadine is the nearest I get at theh mo.

So yah - tidying and organising and being annoyed for no good reason.

barleybooley

Banquo would probably be more adept at telling what things I do but here's a handful:

1) I get into a huff over the smallest thing, it could be something as simple as someone not closing the door after themselves and I'll get thick about it

2) I cry at everything.

3) Apologies in advance for this but apparently I get super tight down there the day before and

4) Poor Banquo can't do anything right for those few days, bless him

CathyMoran

The days before I cry very easily and end up checking to see has it arrived yet, I also tend to have lots of sex as I know that I will not be having it for a few days and when it does arrive I cry as we are trying for a baby...

During my period I gain a small amount of weight and get severe cramps and do not like walking far...I also get very, very horney and can not wait to get back to having sex again. The only good thing is that the hives that I get when I ovulate stop. I also get useless at maths and doing exams during it.

Joe's fanclub

cry when I have to go to work, cry when I have to get out of bed, cry if I drop something, cry if anyone looks at me funny

just sit in my little black hole and with my thoughts which are usually "oh my god, I'll never feel better ever again" and "I don't know whats wrong with me" even though I'm completely aware that this comes and goes every month

Other then that, I'm pretty happy go lucky kind of lady which gives a certain extremity to my alter ego that likes to appear once a month

trio

I don't tend to get cranky but I do get abso-flippin-lutely shattered.

Like, so exhausted I feel like I've got the flu or something. Can barely crawl through the day and do the bare minimum. No housework, no shower, nothing.

I always say I feel like I've been hit by a bus.

But that's only for the first day. After that I feel a bit more normal for the duration.

YT

For the first few months of our relationship I broke up with my boyfriend every month around the same time, luckily he realised I am not a physco and stuck with me, now he only has to put up with me waking up some mornings leading up to my period and deciding I hate him. Poor man.

I also tend to cry alot and scoff lots of chocolate.

butterflydream

- get very clumsy, as in dropping things and cant type for the life of me
- dont really have an appetite
- get warm
- have mind numbing cramps and pains throughout my legs, hips and lower back
- curse men
- and wonder how Im ever going to be able to go through childbirth if the cramps kill me

all_smilz

lower back pain
insomnia
clumsiness
zits
horniness
moods and lots of tears
but the strangest thing is that i always have the most satisfying poo just before my period starts!
I dont get constipated but all the same its just a LOVELY feeling....

please say someone else gets this?

banquo

Get yelled at because it's raining outside. And we're not even going outside.
Can't stop saying ''There there...''
Can't help running around trying to fix everything and make everything perfect.
Purchase treats.

(not a girl)

MJOR

tidiness tears and i get hot....

the poo thing too

browner85

women are so wierd..... lol

cute_cow

i am more or less the same as others. never sleep very well, get clumsy, and really weepy.

marie_85

I cry. I cry at everything from TV ads to soaps to dropping my knife. The last episode of ER had me going through a box of tissues and I haven't watched the show in five years.

If I'm not crying, I'm getting annoyed at something.

And every month without fail, I get my period and go 'Oh THAT'S why I've been so upset!' You'd think I'd have learnt to predict my moods by now.

I am suddenly rather grateful for my Y chromosome.

It may even be worth the shorter life span.

aoibhebree

I'm another cryer - but only for 24 hours, two days before it starts! Nothing before or after that. And don't ask me why, but Home and Away really sets me off if I happen to watch it that day. Along with just about everything else. The worst part is, my friends and family know about this, but if they suggest to me that it's because of my period I get really angry and say it's nothing to do with that, I'm genuinely upset over ... Belle and Aden breaking up, or whatever!!

Also, I get a massive spot on just the exact same place on my chin. Never get spots apart from that.

And I get so bloated just before it that I'm always convinced I'm actually pregnant, so it's always a big relief when it actually comes!

DarkSeraphim

weirdly enough i actually get happier, well that is after day one.. day one consists of bad cramping.. never a good thing

we'llallhavetea_old

Nothing unusual, but every month without fail, i will wake up in the bed covered in sweat, can't breath with the heat and start frantically strippin and kicking the bed clothes off, saying 'can't breath, what the fcuk, the fcuking heat' and start opening windows and trying to find the source of the heat. And bout an hour later, 'oh'....

LivingDeadGirl

I'm always exhausted, really really exhausted for most of that week. I also just want to be held/cuddled and appreciate a nice cup of tea or coffee far more than usual. I always get extremely bad cramps on the morning of day two for about two hours, I've nearly thrown up a few times from pain and often had to come home from school. I generally feel really fat(about 3 pounds or so of pure bloating) and disgusting and like a previous poster don't want to take a shower, for fear of seeing my bloated stomach!

at least you know there's no baby abigayle for at least another 10months!

not gonna deny that one.

i tend to go totally anti-social, on the verge of tears all the time and completely unmotivated in the lead up to the period. once i have it, im grand, back to normal, except for the rare times i get cramps.

and i have these weird really long conversations in my head that ill never actually have with people. i do do that occasionally, but seem to go into overdrive the days before my period.

No truer words spoken, Crumble :pac:

Regardless of all the effort put in to avoid such a terrible, horrible event- ever notice how, its only after you've spent the €12 on a test for a negative result that the damn things arrive? 0_o

Having bought a test from the in-house pharmacist, I'm sure I've cleared the toilets of many a shopping centre with insane cackles of relief. Few women have prayed for the menopause as much as I have :rolleyes:

shellyboo

I get very clumsy and forgetful, I get spots, and I get migraines.

So, fun times.

IceICEbaby

I get ridiculously horny on the lead-up to my period...

Seriously...anything and everything turns me on.
Kinda disturbing

:rolleyes:

Women are crazy.

RE: getting narky, etc. does it not occur to women ''Hey, it's not really their fault, it's just something I do every month. I'll stop yelling now''..?

Still, I don't have to live with it. At least not directly. My sympathies, it sounds awful.

Twee.

I get unbelievably clumsy. My sense of spatial awareness vanishes about a week before my period is due. I walk into door frames, furniture, the rails at work. I'm covered in bruises!
I also eat like the world is ending or something.

Genuinely, at the time, your thought process will go like this:

OMG, I'm so mad... but, wait, I've got PMS, am I just overreacting? NO WAY! He/she/it was completely unreasonable! GRRRRR! *rampage*

...and then like a week later you'll think, "oh dear, I was completely overreacting... how embarrassing."

That's it exactly, I'd be well aware that my period is due in a few days, but as far as I'm concerned that's nothing to do with how completely angry and pssed off I am at the time - in my head, I'm totally justified!

DeVore

I genuinely never realised it had that sort of effect. I always thought the "must be her time of the month" was some kind of sexist generalisation (not that its not as well, but clearly it has an effect).

Wow.. i'm glad my doodah just thinks for itself on occasion, sounds like thats a total nightmare!

Stheno

Back pain from my ass up to my armpits, all up my spine, with nice radiating pain to each side.
Swollen tender boobs.
Bloated gut.
Headache
Exhaustion
Generally fuzzy brained ness.
Short temper, which I generally manage to control, but not always.
Irrationality.
Craving for salty food.

sillyputty

For a couple days before my period the entire world is my enemy and out to get me also suddenly all other drivers on the road are idiots and don't know how to drive.

During my period I am Bambi, i am so clumsy and i have a tendancy to get emotional over incredibly stupid things.
