Revision history [back]

I face a lot of stressors in my life but normally I manage with techniques learned from Gurbani, patience, simran, breathing etc. Once a month around my period I ALWAYS will cry about something. I will insist that it is a real issue, when in fact I would have managed that issue fine had it not been such a hormone fluctuation. In fact I dont even realize it until I calm down and realize that I'm simply upset about this issue because of hormones and should just forget about it. Unfortunately this is not great for the rest of my family to live with, or me really because I'd rather not be crying every month on some random issue. Yet I seem to forget this is going to happen every month until its already over. Secondly, I cannot rationalize it, calm down, or use my normal techniques cause I'm just too upset to see the reality at that point. I find myself very sensitive to issues and building up previous things from over the month to become upset about. Any suggestions on dealing with these mood swings? I know they are hormonally driven but when I feel so great the rest of the month its annoying. Particularly would be nice to hear from other Kaurs but anyone can answer.

Unfortunately this is not great for the rest of my family to live with, or me really because I'd rather not be crying every month on some random issue. And I become impulsive and say things I dont really mean, not mean things but just out of the usual crankiness at others.
