I am having a lot of trouble with how intense my BPD/PMS gets as my period approaches. I mean I’m not just talking crying at movies and having cramps. Lately I’ve been doing pretty well at using my tools to manage emotions more appropriately and my relationships have been more stable. But this intensity makes it impossible. It makes me paranoid. It makes me doubt everything, others, myself. It makes me tear myself down to nothing- I just got a new job I really like, in a bakery, and my head is screaming at me that I’m not good enough to work there, to have a nice job. I’m not good enough for anyone or anything, I’m too stupid, too worthless, too ugly. I’ve always had pretty strong, emotional PMS but I notice it getting worse and worse. I don’t want to wreck my life over one week a month. Does anyone have any tips on how they manage during that time? FYI birth control is not an option due to other health reasons. Thanks.
