… I want to throw up reading  friends’ soppy or motivational Facebook status updates or tweets.

… I want to correct the grammar in said status updates/tweets (e.g. “It’s ‘kudos’ not ‘kudo’s’ – what’s a ‘kudo’??”)

… I’m reeeally sensitive to noise. We have a grader working on the road outside today and I want to petrol bomb it.

… I’m sensitive to bright light. Close those curtains please!

… I feel like I have no friends. At all. Sob sob. (My rational mind tells me I have tons of lovely friends – the irony is that when I have PMS, I know I need to keep away from them as I am not good company!)

… I feel pretty pathetic generally… everything is a struggle, even simple things like hanging up laundry. “Just stay ON the rack, you stupid sock!”

… I get flashes of extreme rage. Usually triggered by idiot drivers or call centres.

… I get a bit paranoid and suspect that everyone’s out to get me. And then I cry.

… I get impatient with stupid people who ask questions that they could easily find the answers to if they made a smidgen of effort.

Add to this the more common symptoms of bloating, headaches, teariness, tender breasts, etc. and I’m a real barrel of laughs. My solution? Cocoon myself away with chocolate, tasty meals, Nurofen and a good book and wait for it to pass.

Anyone else have symptoms like this? How do you cope with them?
