I'm kind of embarrassed so please don't laugh.
I have noticed recently that the week before my period I get really really really angry. Often it is about something that is already bothering me, but I have been able to squish down and not deal with. The last couple of times this has happened (embarrassingly) my T has ended up getting the brunt of my anger. If it isn't a specific thing or a specific person then often it is just being really irritable. It is like I have limited control over feeling angry during this time. I have total control over how I express my anger (and hardly often lash out at people: this usually just means telling my T I'm really angry at her about something that is really minor), but I can't seem to stop the anger that seems to seethe through my veins during this time. As soon as my period starts it is like I'm a completely new person who doesn't' have this pumping of anger under my skin. Literally it is the day of or the next day (if it starts in the evening) that I notice the change.

Does anyone else experience this? What do you do to stop it? It is such a bad week. It is like I can't stop the anger. It is like I was put on an IV of anger for that week.

Please help or give me advice.
