THE CAUSE
Some girls’ hormonal changes mess with the brain’s serotonin, a hormone that improves moods. The result? A gloom ’n’ doom attitude. THE CURE
“Avoid caffeine. It can make you a little more anxious, and that can make mood swings worse,” Dr. Larissa Hirsch, a medical expert for TeensHealth.org, says. Studies find that calcium might help prevent crankiness during PMS, so make sure you’re getting your three cups a day of dairy. Get plenty of sleep, and stay active. “Exercise will help your mood,” Dr. Hirsch adds. And it can’t hurt to warn your friends and family when PMSing—they’ll know not to take your crabby ’tude personally.

i have gotten like 4 periods, so far no major mood swings. i get a little annoyed, but it's nothing i can't hold in easily. i'm so glad because my mom gets PMS really bad!

I sometimes get bad mood swings before my period. They're terrible, because I'll just like scream at people over practically nothing and cry for no reason at all.

Oh my gosh... 2 of my friends get the WORST mood swings ever. Its kinda hard to deal with them, and you can totally tell when they are on their periods. But I just usually try to back off and know that it will end soon and when they yell at me sometimes i dont take it to heart

I can't tell my brother and Dad when I'm PMSing, and I always end up accidentally hurting their feelings because of it, and I end up feeling really bad about it afterward.

willow xx on 6/1/2009 9:51:24 AM

OMG this is a kind of funny (and sad) story about PMS. Okay, so I was at a school dance (no I didnt stain my clothes) and it was a day b4 my period started. So 1 of my friends who is great with secrets comes up to me and my other friend and tells me that this kind of (i dont want to say this) well, sl*tty girl was supposedly pressuring my crush to go out with her. My crush and that girl are friends. So anyway, me and my 2 friends go and get something to drink and one of them is like, "You look like your gonna cry." I'm like, "No! I don't!" and I like dwelled on it for the rest of the night. But anyway, he never DID go out with her, and about 2 weeks later we found out that the sl*t was talking 2 him because he liked her friend. Being in middle school, the relationship only lasted about a week like most lol. I take everything so much more serious when I get it lol. Kind of funny now.

YOU WROTE IT
It was a strange scent, faintly familiar, like the perfume my mother used to wear. The aroma lingered around me, smelling like dried sunflowers and a soft touch of the new spring air.
