My whole life just falls apart 2 or 3 days before I start my period. I crave sugar and can't control my intake. I feel terrible. I cry at the drop of a hat. Today, was my 6 year old's day to bring snacks to school. Well, I forgot. Now, I'm crying uncontrollably. I have eaten like 5 peanut butter balls. I am miserable, grumpy. Am I a terrible mother for forgetting the snacks? Is there any treatment out there, except for antidepressants(I'm a nurse, I know all about those. I don't want to have anything to do with them) I'm feeling sorry for myself, I know, but I don't want to face my daughter after school when she tells me that I forgot to send the snacks with her. I realize more horrible things can happen, but it seems like every month, I do more and more things to disappoint people during those 2 or 3 days.

the same thing happens to me since having kids, I get mean, and miserible too. But what has helped, midol, also getting in check with yourself (sound weird) but i hate being mean, so I take 5 min when I feel mean, and walk away and say how much i love my kids, and eat a ton of chocolate. Choc milk always helps me. Also a heating pad, or elect blanket, helps with cramps and back pain that make me mean. Try more water to.

You're not a bad mother...these things happen. Any woman should be able to relate to the emotional roller coaster we ride during menstration.
If you seem to be forgetting little detail things; try keeping a calendar and get into the habit of looking at it daily. This way, regardless of your emotions, you have a reminder of the important things going on.
And hon, don't worry, children are really forgiving. Your daughter won't hold a grudge longer than a few hours I'm sure.

you seem to have brought a good point, it only happens 2 or 3 days out of a whole month. Take some time to plan ahead for those days you know are harder for you, make arrangements for other people to take on tasks you may forget during those days. Your child won't hate you. Apparenty you suffer from PMS or some other symptom related to your hormones, Bach flowers treatment might be able to help.

Yes! You're proper. Parents are the final to study that lifestyles is OK to reside simply as it's. They wish you to excel them in employment, they sacrificed such a lot so that you can come to be larger than them, but if all is claimed and performed...it's your lifestyles. Only you'll be able to be who you pick to be. Besides, janitor receives a commission well cash. It's the repute of the process: simply much less for mum and dad to gloat approximately to their peers. If you'll be able to support help your loved ones, you opt for it. Keep lifestyles useful..you can experience it extra...your individuals will too after they discover they have got extra time to spend with their grandchildren and also you. I bet, a few sacrifices are valued at making. Wonderful query! Your mum and dad gets over it...will you?

Talk to you ob/gyn about this and get a calander and write down those little important things that you are forgetting during that time. Your daughter might be upset about it but I'm sure she won't hate you. Can you drive over with the snacks? Maybe its not too late to salvage this.

Don't be so hard on yourself...
My friends when they have there periods (when ever they occurs) will call me up and be yelling at me for no apparent reason... really no reason about 7 of my friends that are girls call me up just to yell at me... I still talk to them and once those 2-5 day periods end they call me up and ask for the forgiveness of the yelling... Just say to your daughter you are sorry and that a certain time of each month you get ERKed...
Family will forgive and forget...

Lady, get you some dark chocolate while you are in this mood, and get your daugter snacks to her, she will forgive you for it of being late.
Get your to do list down to the mimium, and do release all of your high expectaitons lower or off of your list.
Your are in the holiday mode and working too, and you have to much on your plate, eat healthy, exercise, go get a starbucks coffee and hot steaming bath and forgive your self!

it seems like your your worst judge. be happier. find a hobby that makes you happy. if your happy your company will also be more delightful. im sure nobody thinks so much bad about you than you. your child wont hate you. tell her your sorry and how you try hard but once a month you dont feel good and he/she will understand to the best of his/her ability.

Wow, sounds like your real hard on yourself. Sometimes sh*t happens, she wont hate you, do you know how many times I forgot something for my son, its really not a big deal, I am sure they all got their snack, even if you forgot it. Have you thought about birth control pills to help 'even' you out? Good luck, and SMILE!!!

maybe you should go on medication. you're a nurse not a psychiatrist, what to do know about SSRI's and antipsychotics? obvisuly you don't know enough about them so you jump to the conclusion that they're not for you. however becuase of the decision to not seek help other than yahoo answers you are putting you're family through an emotional rollercoaster. so in being stubborn you are hurting yourself and your family? that doesn't seem logical. ive been on antidepressants for some time now and they've dont nothing but wonders for me. it just takes the effort to get your head out of ***, stop being so selfish and self loathing and get your crap together.
