http://spiritualinquiry.com/articles/dealing-with-irritability/ Open-Minded Inquiry About Spirituality and Self-Improvement Sat, 19 May 2012 00:00:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 http://spiritualinquiry.com/articles/dealing-with-irritability/#comment-690 Philip Wed, 09 Feb 2011 21:31:22 +0000 http://spiritualinquiry.com/blog/2008/02/26/dealing-with-irritability/#comment-690 Thanks, this article helped me get some perspective. I tend to have an idealized view on how life should go and I can get very frustrated when unexpected things happen. Usually I just suppress my frustration but over time it is really unhealthy and it ends up with me being angry with people with whom I would otherwise have no reason to be angry. All in all I'm still frustrated after reading this, and I'm still quite irritable, but I'm going to try to be a bit more accommodating to those around me while I sort through my issues.

About a week before I begin my menstruation. It is VERY diificult for me to deal with my husband or my father (whom I work for). This is especially noticeable during the winter months, I'm not sure why (maybe because it is too cold and windy to be outside). Anyway, the smallest little comment can set me off. It's almost as if during this time I have the same symptoms of someone who is bipolar...this is the only time. Once I start my cycle, and the rest of the month, I'm fine -- calm, happy, easy to please. However, for just a few days before I start...if you are male...GET OUT OF MY WAY! DITTO!

The hormones steal your energy and override any normal, calm demeanor which you may have had. It's not a just matter of accepting, it becomes a matter of surviving.

Much easier said than done. You clearly do not understand how difficult it is to THINK when one is irritated during their period. Much easier said than done.
