"premenstrual-syndrome"

[myspacemybroke]

Really I appreciate hormonal imbalances and what they cause, but doesn't it seem to get a little out of hand? It seems to me society continuously makes excuses for woman in the form of "oh well it must her time of month" or " well she's just feeling hormonal" and everyone else is expected to be on their best behavior to not upset the delicate internal balance of the pms ridden females. I mean there is a certain amount of leeway obviously, everyone has bad times, but generally it seems to be that the majority of females get it into their heads that they have perfect license to be a complete bitch once a month without repercussion because "they were PMSing". As I said everyone has the right to their days of crankitude, but it's sort of common courtesy to at least make at attempt to contain yourself instead of relying on society to make excuses constantly.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a group of physical symptoms, psychological and emotional issues that women experience during one or two weeks before a menstrual period. These symptoms disappear soon after the onset of menstrual bleeding.

PMS may be a chronic condition. In some women, PMS symptoms intensify before each menstrual period and this pattern continues until menopause. In other women, PMS symptoms seem to diminish after 35 years.

Even doctors do not know the exact causes of PMS, there is no way to prevent it. However, you can relieve some symptoms if you have a healthy lifestyle.

# Begin a regular exercise program (three to five exercise sessions per week).

# Do not avoid meals. Follow a regular feeding program to maintain a stable level of blood sugar.

# Eat a balanced diet low in refined sugars.

# Try to sleep well at night.

# Do not smoke

# Reduce caffeine, alcohol, red meat and salty foods.

# Practice stress reduction techniques. Take a nice bath and prolonged or try meditation.

My point wasn't that PMS doesn't exist. My point was that woman shouldn't be held any less accountable for their actions and treatment of people during that time.

lol(: ha ha coming from a girl what you said was 100% true but when we get like craps and sh*t it hurts really and I mean really bad the only thing that could hurt worse is having a baby but still no matter the circumstance you are right some women take things over the top and take things dramatically but the worst part is having f***ing gross ass blood and sh*t come out of you its the worst thing to go through...And this is every single month and when your stressed you bleed even worse so we have to deal with all that and I think that's what causes the BitchFest(:

Oh hells yeah. I really obviously have no clue how much it sucks, and I do feel a great deal of sympathy for females for having to deal with it every single month. Just saying a lot of the time it seems to be used as an excuse to not give a sh*t or have any accountability for what you say and how you act.

You've never experienced PMS, neither have I. But you cannot alter how you are more prompt to have a temper, you are upset more easily, and none of the differences are conscious. Also, some of them are in pain - I think if your stomach hurt like hell you would be a bit more easily irritated as well. Though I'm certain they can get used to it considering they have it every single month, but.. bleeding sucks. You know that. xD

We will never experience the same suffering.

Oh course I've never experienced PMS, and I'm not trying to negate the fact that it's a very real and unfortunate thing. I'm just saying it gets a bit lame when females inform you of the fact that they are going to a be a total bitch next week because they'll be PMSing so you'd better be nice to them. When I'm feeling hormonal and angsty and would like nothing better than the curb stomp some bastard for no reason, I'm expected to curb my frustrations. I think woman should be too.

you don't ever get use to the pain because some are worse then others.
