The sinking feeling of PMS

I have no idea why god invented PMS. I mean, what good does it do besides making ourselves and also our men miserable? like seriously.

I've never been the kind to be hit hard by PMS, I know some friends who get it good. But me? it's mild at best. The thing I truly hate abt it though, is how overflowing the negative energy that comes with PMS is.

Tonight's performance @ J-Bar was ok, it got better by the last set. Mann and the boys gave me some pointers to work on, which i appreciates, I always do. (It's not easy for me as I've always been a stubborn ass, performers do have a certain level of ego, u gotta give me tt. But I've mellowed down so much in recent years, u wouldn't believe how scary I was last time.)

I realised i've still got a lot to learn and lotsa old habits to kick, and I've been trying to take in whatever pointers to improve, which I have been told I have(yay!) but today, i was just slightly sian again. Minor negativity set it, i think it showed on my face.lol.

After rationalizing, I figured it was the work of PMS so I'm going to sleep on it and wake up to a whole new level of positivity to keep improving myself instead of letting negativity get to me!

See? That's what PMS does to women. Men, I know it's tough, it's impossible and most of the time, it doesn't even add up BUT do try to understand. OK, fine. So sometimes, we are just using tt as excuses for everything.

But you guys have football and booze, we have PMS, it's fair.

Hmmm, maybe...god is female.

PMS is a good excuse for girls I bet. And the more girls use that as an excuse, the less guys will treat it seriously -- like crying wolf. Don't get me wrong, if I were a girl, I would totally use PMS as an excuse.

I do pity straight guys though who have to put up with PMS of their girlfriends or dates because they need to get in their pants or because they married them. I guess there is at least some motivation for them to treat a girl nicer just because she is undergoing PMS. But what should gay guys' reactions and behaviour towards women affected by PMS be?

For me, I will just treat an angry PMS woman as an angry woman and a rude PMS woman as a rude woman. And if a PMS woman want me to understand, the best I can do is to leave her alone until she gets over the PMS. If she is a nice person, she will definitely still be a nice person when the PMS clears. There is no point fighting a losing battle with hormones and no point dealing with people who are simply angry and rude all the time.

As for normal depression cycles, they always come and go and so we don't really need to attribute these bouts of low to PMS. Just be aware of your own body and the energies you give out to the world and adjust yourself accordingly. And yes, do try to absorb the kind advice of others regardless of the time of the month -- it is given because these people love you.

And ML, this is not a post to tell you what to do because the way you treat your PMS and life already is the way to go!
