Major PMS Symptoms

[RWattier]

So today I must be having PMS bc I am as cranky as an old grichy bear!!!

My coworker is driving me nuts - my boss is out for the next six weeks, we are short one full-time staff, so I have triple my normal workload - - and on top of the stress of work, my only coworker is not good on the computer and needs my help with that and also to get her ice or bring her checks or go grab this or that from the basement -

I am not even going to get into why she cannot get those things herself - its just irritating!!!

Thanks for letting me rant - if I didn't - I might sock the next client that walks in the door. I decided to take a fifteen minute breather and see what everyone here was doing and just let my desk pile up and the next 20 emails come in........

Deep breath and back to work for me and I also ordered CARDIO COACH!!! I deserve it! See how productive I can be in 15 mins

Reba,

I feel your pain. Coworkers who are irritating suck especially when you are PMSing. There used to be a calming technique I used for just such occasions:

Close your eyes
Notice your breathing
In the distance you hear a babbling brook
Notice the wonderful smells of wildflowers
Are you relaxed?
Now, imagine your hands on the irritant's throat,
Choking them in the babbling brook
Doesn't that feel better!

Why on earth is she asking you to get her ICE?

hey i feel your pain. it may sound strange and i don't know if you go through the same thing but i get my pms way before i get my period 2-3 weeks before, . . so right after i get my period i'm having pms. then i get two weeks were i feel like spider man and i'm climbing walls and running like a rabid dog is chasing me, . . for some reason i'm super fit and strong, . . anyway, . my pms is like the pms from hell. cranky doesn't even discribe it. my family calls me the "mommy beast." right now i'm supposed to be working but i'm having difficulty being focused. to busy feeling sorry for myself and getting mad about the fact that i'm the only one in this house that gives a rip about peeing on a toilet that is clean and having accessible toilet paper, . . rant, . . rant, . . yesing i'm having pms too.

SSRI's made life bearable for me as pms worsened to unlivable by my late 30's - but you reminded me of a co-worker I had, years ago, in the next cubby, who used to put scotch tape on his fingers and RUB them together making this scratchy sound that would make my hair stand on end I'd get so crazy! What IS it with people!

Oh, And my kids called me Atilla the Mom in my pre Celexa days......
