Emotional Turbulence

Warning:- This blog post is not for men. Of course, now you definitely want to go on. Oh, sweet human nature! :)

Anyway, I don't know if it is just me but I have started to develop some serious emotional turbulence around my menstrual cycle. I don't know if this happens to everyone but it's kinda happening a lot to me. It was never this bad before. It usually takes a lot for me to cry over something, especially after having such a "stone-hearted" reputation, sort of. But these days, I am crying over petty issues and the smallest things ever. Argh! Whyyyy?

I also get frustrated very easily and feel very irritable. I don't know if it's something I should consult with my family physician before I am embarrassed. So, someone enlighten me? Is it normal? I know the mood swings are a part of this and I am cool with those but crying? Really? I hate tears. I hate crying and I hate seeing other people cry. And it pisses me off when I am able to cry over something so little. I'd rather prefer a hyper reaction where I get super happy or something. Oh wait, I don't get a preference here. Never mind. I know this somewhat has to do with the hormones fluctuating but the crying is new to me. What I have begun to think is.. maybe these tears are from built-up emotions over the last month. I have been dealing with a lot lately, all by myself and haven't told anyone, as of yet. 

I have seen girls who will drop a pen and yell at themselves afterwards. I mean, heights of temper problems during the menstrual cycle. But I have never experienced constant crying. So, I am kind of worried because it's not really in my control. 

Damn it man! I wish we could just hibernate during these cycles or something..
