i just don't understand myself right now

Listen, Im going to give you some proper advice. Next time you are experiencing a mood swing, whether because your period is nearing or because of life's disabilities, just tell yourself that this should not affect your relationship with your husband and your kids, they need their mom and he needs his wife. You are the pillar of the family who nurtures the children and distributes unconditional love to all members of the family.ITS YOUR JOB.. If you dont feel up for something, just change your state of mind completely, freshen up,Grab a jacket and go for a walk with your family or spend some quaility time with your loved ones watching t.v. Dont push them away.

It's normal. Most women go through it. That's why we are either called fickle minded or unpredictable.

...and even I dont seem to understand any of it. What I think is you and hubby need some time together - ummm a vacation maybe - together, some candle light dinners and loads of ice creams and chocos to get things right... And yes, you can still call me to take care of your kids - just leave enough of chocos and ice creams for all of us with that television and psp at home - we will have a great time together while you and hubby have yours

i used to be in your shoes. When i told my bf didn't understand and when i explained, it is worse. and finally a conflict happened. i felt upset and didnt want to talk more. It repeated in some days and i was totally tired with it, i really didn't want to talk with my bf more. However everything is ok after that when i didn't talk with my bf for some days. A period coming is a reason also, so that you try don't talk much in these day, keep yourself calm. Everything will be ok soon. Don't worry too much about it.

I think we all have these periods and if you have children, a job we do these things automatically. Might be your hubby feels neglected but I doubt if that is completely true. At this moment it's better for you to listen to your body, how you feel, tired is tired and everything will only get worse if you neglect these signs. BTW your hubby is an adult so he can take care of himself and that is what he probably is doing. Most men go on with their life, do have their own friends/days out, hobby room etc so no need for him to get furious (sounds like a spoiled kid to me, perhaps you can keep him more busy so he knows how it feels to feel really tired out!). I wish you some good night rests.

Hi jazel, I can correlate with you..I am suffering from PCOD and I face this situation everyday..sometimes i want to be asked, how i am feeling or to be pampered from my hubby..but he really dont understands and finally I have to give answers to myself..The only thing, i know I have to be strong enough to take care of me..

I think this is normal. There are also times when I feel distant and though I try everything to feel normal again, it seems that I'm just not in the mood. Perhaps your hubby understand this, else you'd hear a lot of complaining. Don't worry about it, we all go through that phase at least once a month! hehehe.. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

Well, i guess everyone undergo this process. I'm not exactly sure if the feeling is exactly the same. Maybe you need time for your self? Feel exhausted of your daily routine and wanted a break and do the things that you always wanted to do but situation forbids you? I hope soon you'll identify the problem and fix it.

I really hope it is just the menses or hormonal imbalance causing you such unexplainable behavior, or else i think it's time to get psychiatric/psychological consultation, lol! Seriously, the formidable "S" (sumpong) amongst women (my wife included) is quite relevant to the menstrual cycle, and it has always been a problem for me when my wife has it too, lol!

Yeah, it could be that reason why you are that way. Sometimes, when we are nearing our period, we seem uneasy. We seem disoriented and irritable. Much more if we already have it. Don't worry that will pass jazel. Tell your husband to bear with you at the moment.

I think it is normal to feel that way sometime. It is mostly caused by hormonal changes especially in women. I have had sometimes when I felt like that but it only took me a few days to regain myself back.

Somehow I can relate to where you are now. My wife and tends to fall in a meaningless fight because of the day mood (I call it a day mood, since not all days are the same). Period is just one factor, but i guess I would agree to your everything, since anything and everything affects us. Especially when we don't get what we expect from our partners. Communication barrier - there comes a time that we choose to shut up or not say what we feel because we are afraid that it would fall into misunderstanding. This we find as our common mistake in our relationship. (hey, I'm no expert in this but I'm just sharing what we did to overcome this phase) What we did is date out... we did check in hotel for a day... (this eliminates other distraction, kids, work, friends, and the everyday chores we have at home) We look for our common ground and talk things of what we hate in our lives at the present time(that includes me) then my turn... But you both have to be both cool headed when you do this... consider it like a vehicle tune up... see what what needs to be repaired and patched. We then come up with solutions or better understanding of what the other wants. When she is in bad mood she prefers to have her time holding my hand or having a hug, and me shutting up and letting her vent out... And we when I'm frustrated or in a hot head mood I prefer to ride... drive my mc... to cool down. She then understand that I am not walking away from her... It's just that we have our individuality on handling things. And if we don't know this or found out that we are like this... We'll be in deep mess... Find a common ground, keep your cool, relay what's inside you (anything or everything) tell him/her how you wish to be treated when your in that mood so both of you will have a better handling of the mood days... vice versa. Hope this helps... REDFOXPH
