So this is going to be an interesting post. One of my facebook friends posed a question that I wanted to respond to on here. He asked "I feel like if I was a girl, I would be aware of my increased emotional state once a month and compensate by consciously being more lenient toward life. Is this impossible/wrong?"
A rather interesting discussion followed on his status.
Anyway, its really hard to be rational with hormones coursing through your body. You don't want to be rational. You want to feel sad, or angry, or happy, or pissed off for no reason. And sometimes it's hard to differentiate between normal emotions and emotions influenced by higher levels of hormones. And it's not just heightened emotions, it's also more dramatic mood swings. And for girls with irregular cycles, sometimes they don't even realize they've been PMSing until they actually get their period, and their behavior over the preceding week makes more sense. When I do realize that I'm PMSing, it is easier to control my emotions, or at least recognize that they may be lying to me, and that my emotions will change within a day.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't usually realize I'm PMSing until I'm done, probably because for me affects my emotions more than it affects me physically (pretty much all it does there is make me really tired, which isn't unusual for me anyway), and i'm a pretty moody (irrational! lol!) person as is. Hm. I don't know if I ever try to "compensate" for it, since I don't usually realize when I'm in the midst of it. Interesting.
