yeah, it makes it hard when everything drives us crazy.
One thing that helps me daily, (helped to disperse my panic attacks as well) was a good, well absorbing calcium/magnesium pill. The magnesium helps to calm the body, ease palpitations,it is a well overlooked mineral. The calcium helps to replace that which we lose by being menstruating women, also helps with cramps.Should be in capsule or liquid form, not pill form, as pills take too long to absorbe.
Ease up on the carbs.
The carbs we crave during pms, whether it be cereal, icecream, pasta, potatoes and such, cause our blood sugar to peak and then crash, leading to violent mood swings. Try to add protein any time you are REALLY craving the carbs, or best yet, avoid them all together. Stick to whole grains if you are a carb-o-holic. (even the sugar free products cause our bodies to react as though getting sugar)
Obvious things, reduce the caffeine, make sure you are well rested, spoil yourself with nice baths, good books, etc... try to realize that pms isnt your enemy, see it as a high energy that needs an outlet, (like the creative aspect) just try to have your family far away when you are trying to be creative,
When pms causes our sensitivity filter to drop, and we get bombarded with emotion, it can be really tough. Just remember, that as easily as those disturbances get through to us, our creative, fluid energetic self can also come into being.
Pms
