PMS and submissiveness

[fetishdj]

You say that, usually, your PMS is alleviated by his dominance but that the special circumstances of the memorial made things difficult? In this case, why do you assume that it will always be this bad? Assuming you have handled the grief properly (if not, you may want to think about talking to a good friend or getting counselling) then there is no reason why you should get a repetition of the same problem.

If it does happen again then communication is the key, as always. If you feel as if your PMS is causing bad moods to the extent that you are likely to strike out at him then you tell him. If he feels that you are acting out of character, he should pay attention to that (but not tell you cos I know how women who get told they are 'having PMS' react... This is one exception to the 'communicate' plan) and react accordingly - hugs and affection rather than beatings and gaggings.

If the PMS gets really unbearable, by the way, then you may need to talk to a doctor about dysmenohrea. There are treatments for extreme symptoms of menstruation (cramps, excessive bleeding) which also treat the mood swings at the same time. Usually this involves some form of contraceptive medication - the progesterone pill, injection or implant will, for example, reduce the intensity of menstruation and therefore the symptoms of PMS.

Raging hormones, sensative body, the bloating cramping overaly exhaustation.. even though we go thru PMS every mth from puberities frist strike til "the Change" PMS is not always seen by us.. actually for me..PMs is what tells me Im about to be on.. lol..
I have had a few bad temper fits that the real cause was PMS and being hypersensative emotionally bc of the stress I was under.. yes we do hate being told that it is caused by our homornes.. but it also kinda clicks too..
badkitty ..this was a good post thanks..
Our Doms care, nuture and help us grow in virtually every aspects of our lives.. so no I dont like to "go off the deep end". i try to hold in what it is at that time I am upset about.. go back over it later when i can be rational.. maybe journal it out.. If your Dom seems to be pushing a "friendly PMS" reminder to Him maybe needed.. I have realized too that on PMS communication is harder if its a tough mth. Or maybe there is something that has been bothering but I have it nicely tucked inside somewhere and then Boom something sets it off.. and guess what. it was PMs.. lol but our cycles have ups and downs..
i do agree that the memorial was probobly sending your emos into full on over drive and i am very glad to see your D was able to cut you some slack.. I like Miners lil ideas, but uh.. well with a girl like me i would have to stay in the shower til my attitude really adjusted..lol.. not easy anyway and then PMs on top.. Oh DOMLY MAn you better Steer clear..
Having girlfriends to vent to has been a save all for me in the past.. its easier for the PMS to get called out by a friend then my Dom who doesnt really knw what it is like.. I cant stand when Men think they can basis it all of typical reactions.. each women is diffrent.. do you get more depressed, more angry, are you just sensative over all when you are on.. the emos are always a hard thing... yes communication is key though.. i think once the two of you settle in to a routine with living together you will both find ways of getting around it.. give yourself a lil slack as well..Tough times always hit us hard. and besides.. its not like men dont have their own versions of PMs each mth.. they just get bitchy N cranky overly moody just like they were on their cycle.. Keep your head up badkitty.. were women.. we perserver
