"Baby, why didn't you return my calls?? Where have you been? Don't you know that I worried bout you....!!"
Yeah, it probably belongs to a part of convo, a girl was demanding her bf to confirm. She was so worried and emotionally asking her bf for his explanation. Due to the bad situations, their mood swings or business among them, they felt upset and finally mad at each others.
There's a moment when everybody has a really bad feeling for their business, problems and has full activities during the days, then it may affect on their attitudes towards other persons. Perhaps, it's only a matter of misunderstanding or miscommunication. They feel so burdened so that they don't feel like talking to others.
I have experienced the same problem as well. Due to a lot of thoughts and tasks to do among us, my bf and I emotionally were fighting. As a girl, I realize myself that I have a certain period when I feel so dropped, sensitive and distressed even though there is no problems during the days. It happens to me every month, couple weeks before the "red-day". At first, I didn't consider it. Yet, it's getting worse few months lately, I started to remark the time and try to control my self. That was so called "Premenstrual Syndrome". Since I am a bit bothered by this habit, I searched for its explanation. Here it is...
Premenstrual syndrome occurs during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. This phase occurs immediately after an egg is released from the ovary and lasts from day 14 through day 28 of a normal menstrual cycle (day 1 is the day your period begins).
During the luteal phase, hormones from the ovary cause the lining of the uterus to grow thick and spongy. At the same time, an egg is released from the ovary. If the egg meets sperm, it may implant in the lining of the uterus and grow. At this time, the level of a hormone called progesterone rises in the body, while the level of another hormone, esterogen, begins to drop. The shift from estrogen to progesterone may cause some of the symptoms of PMS.
- Some medical professionals believed that changing progesterone levels alone could account for a woman’s mood, behavior, and physical changes during the luteal phase (or second half) of the menstrual cycle.
- Women develop deficiencies in a part of their nervous system called the endorphin (feel good hormones) system. A small amount of these "feel good" endorphins usually circulate in the body, but these levels drop during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
- Fluid overload may cause some of the symptoms of PMS, especially swelling and weight gain, and may also aggravate some negative self perceptions and thus worsen emotional symptoms at this stage
- Diet may also be a factor in PMS. Episodes of low blood sugar may contribute to both crying spells and the irritability that are part of PMS. Additionally, low levels of vitamin A, vitamin B6, and vitamin E may play a role in PMS.
- Hormonal cycling also affects the level of serotonin, a brain chemical that regulates many functions, including mood and sensitivity to pain.
- Prostaglandins, produced by the areas where PMS symptoms originate, which may play a role in problems such as cramping, breast tenderness, gas, diarrhea , and constipation.
- Family history is often a good predictor of the probability of premenstrual syndrome; studies have found that the concordance rate is two times higher among identical twins compared with fraternal twins. Thus, when one twin has PMS, the other one could also has one.
- Stress may precipitate condition and Increasing age
Ahh..yeaahh..they obviously make sense. There are many of chemical process in our body. It relates and affects on each others. However, I looked for the prevention treatment as well. Hope this is fruitful...
We may need to try different medications before you find one that works. Medicines may not completely relieve all the symptoms, and they are not always necessary. Lifestyle changes can probably help.
Changes in diet and exercise are usually recommended first. Eat a well-balanced diet and avoid salt, candy, and sugary foods during the week before your period. While it may also help to avoid caffeine, going on and off caffeine during the month may be difficult. You may have to cut out caffeine completely if it seems to contribute to your symptoms. Small, frequent meals during the premenstrual week may help keeping blood sugar at a steady level and reduce cravings. Keeping a consistent exercise program may also improve your well0being throughout the menstrual cycle.
The last but not least, try to maintain our communication to God. Whenever and however we feel so down, run into Allah SWT, the one and only to complain. Ask for HIS guidance and protection so that we will always be under-controlled.
As for someone who might be one of my victims due to PMS..I ask for your tolerance.
