I couldn't put it into words. I simply gave in to this...overwhelming exhaustion, when every other time I could deal with it just fine. But I felt powerless to stop this. I think they make meds for this severe pms today, but back then, women just were told it was normal to not quite be yourself the week before. Maybe it is normal, but it really affected my job.

I've been noticing it more now that I too am changing. January's moon was supposed to be very intense, I was a mess, crying, fighting, plotting, and I had my period. This one I can't tell because I have a bunch of non-regular things happening at the same time. The way I notice, I start acting up, I realize I'm acting up, check the calendar, bingo period and full moon.
