Managing Work During Period Week

The only way I have stopped the extreme roller coaster is getting off the pill and taking CBD drops as well as a tincture called Elix. I am finally not terrified of my period again. I also have found intolerances to red meat, soy, gluten dairy, corn, alcohol and caffeine. I can't tell you how much relief I feel now, it's been 10 years of worse and worse pain and mental hurt and I finally can say I have a handle on it.

I hardly can find the sokutions for this myself. I usually try my best to focus on the busy-ness of workand not so much on my personal stuff i may be going thru. This is also paired fairly strong symptoms with my bipolar disorder as well

I always tell my husband and my mom when it's coming so they can support me. I try to be extra gentle with myself. I do just the basic work and chores that I have to and let the rest wait til I feel better. I let myself watch TV and drink tea and eat convenience food and rest. I also try to remind myself not to take my own thoughts too seriously for a few days, because I get intrusive thoughts due to PMDD. If something is really bothering me i talk to someone about it, but tell myself to revisit it in a few days when I feel more level.
