For the ladies of this sub, does anyone notice a significant intensity of their symptoms in the days leading up to their periods? I had a full blown meltdown yesterday over something I could usually deal with, cried over Toy Story 4 (I can’t cope with children being lost or feeling left out / abandoned) and erupted at a colleague. All within the space of three hours!

I know logic would dictate that things get amplified when hormones join in to the mix, but guess I just wanted to see if anyone else has similar experiences?

Edit: Thanks for your insights. I deal with it by talking about it with my friends when I’ve calmed down and laughing about it. The tips about self soothing / self care are excellent as well. Not to mention self validation. These feelings and emotions are real and they’re okay, I try not to attach too much judgement to them. Detached mindfulness works as well. Lots of love to this sub 🥰
