Why are women so dam crazy on PMS?

Question

What does it feel like?

Answer 1

Ah, PMS. Well, what happens is, hormones that our bodies have relied on to function suddenly disappear, causing us to go through withdrawal. Remember how cranky, tired, and miserable you were last time you missed your morning coffee? It can be something like that, although it varies. It could be better or much, much worse. As we head towards our periods, other hormones can cause us to bloat up, and others give us those charming cramps during the actual menstruation. Bleeding isn't particularly fun, either. I mean, an actual internal organ is deliquescing and oozing out of one of our orifices.

This is all so that the species can continue and possibly also so that we can walk upright. Be kind to us, please.

Answer 2

PMS varies greatly from person to person and even changes over the life of a single person. I personally felt nothing the first few years. Now I am one of those people who has so much pain, even after medication, that I can be completely immobile for half a day. I also never had mood swings until recently. I am conscious enough to realize when it is affecting me and try to let my husband know that the reason I am crying is more hormones than anything. It's not an excuse and it can be very frustrating to feel you are not in complete control of your emotions.

Answer 3

I am normally a pretty upbeat friendly person. Out of nowhere I can feel this cloud of gloomy darkness encompassing me, taking over my thoughts and my actions. At the same time I get super clumsy and drop things, and sounds are amplified, I crave chocolate--and would kill you to get it. I crave salt, which in turn adds to the water weight gain, and is an irritant towards the moodiness. In the mean time I have to look after a family, work, and then put up with some guy who chooses that particular time of the month to point out my flaws. And you wonder why women are crazy.

Answer 4

Its very emotionally taxing. Your hormones are making you feel various ways, yet you know you should not. In young or immature women it causes confusion, which often results in the poor treatment of others.

PMS is real, but it is not an excuse to treat people with disrespect or abusive manner.

I think a couple people on here need to remember that just because something doesn't happen to them, doesn't mean everyone is just like them....simple minds.

Answer 5

Actually, during that week before a woman's period, her hormone levels drop off so they become more like men's. That's what prompts the periods to start in the first place.

Answer 6

I know you have probably heard it a billion times, but it really is hormones. Sometimes we know we are being so oversensitive is kinda silly, but we can't really help it at the time. The headaches, abdominal cramps, and bloating don't help to put us in a good mood either.

Answer 7

well there's cramps & your emotionals are absolutely crazy.. you can be happy, then upset, angry, etc. the next moment. no you guys will never understand.. just try being compassionate.. I'm especially kinda bad like the first-second day, at least last month I was all crying to my bf.... he didn't understand of course

Answer 8

Some might even think it's biblical man. Women don't PMS on purpose, it's just part of their lives which make them women. You just gotta hold on through da ride!:+)

Answer 9

Of course, its hormones, but there are medications a woman can take to help with the moodiness, etc. So, really, there is no excuse. If something is wrong you should fix it. If a person has a fever that would take something to reduce it, it should be the same with PMS.

Answer 10

I'm just f**king crazy all the time. Why wait for a few days before your period?
