Serious PMS question?!
Question: Is there anything I can do, eat, drink or anything to make it not so awfully horrible?
I literally feel so depressed that I don't leave my house or answer my phone, I'm like a hermit for a week, it's terrible.
And I feel extra fat and tired and hungry :(
It sucks being a girl sometimes!

I can totally concur. I feel the same way the week before my period.
Eat well. Try not to go overboard on satisfying your every food craving. Have some chocolate every now and then. If doughnuts are what you crave, opt for the plain ones. They are sweet and satisy you just as well as the powdered or chocolate ones. Be sure to incorporate healthy foods into your daily eating habits. Drink plenty of water and don't underestimate the power of some hot chicken noodle soup.
Sleep. Be sure you are getting enough sleep. This is not to say that you must be a reincarnation of a Snorlax. Don't overdo it.
Ease the pain. Kick pain out of your life. It sucks and being women of the 21st century, we should not have to suffer as much as the women before us. Personally, I think heating pads are the best! Get the Thermacare ones for menstrual cramps. If that doesn't do the trick for you, head to the pharmacy and grab Midol or Aleve. Another great thing to do for cramps is YOGA. Take yoga classes while pmsing and you will notice a better difference.
Humor. If you don't have it in you to be witty or comical, make it a priority to be around people who are likely to keep you in good spirits. Watch your favorite comedian every now and then. If you are not into stand-up comedy, watch a few funny movies that you are sure to like. Don't forget the popcorn. :)
Music. Whether it be rock, jazz, pop, r&b, country or classical, it helps me wind down and boosts my mood. Just don't listen to songs or tunes that are downright depressing.
Treat yourself. Go out and get a pedicure or manicure at your favorite spa. Get your eyebrows done. Get a facial. Do something that is relaxing and will make you feel better about yourself afterwards. This definitey works wonders.
Dance. I love to dance to all kinds of music and the exercise that I get from it definitely helps relieve the tension and irritability.
Aromatherapy. I love the way I feel after taking a long hot bath/ shower with the pervading scents of lavender, raspberry, chamomile and/or vanilla. If you like music as much as I do, you can also listen to music while in the bathroom.
Vent. Don't limit yourself. You can also express yourself by acting, writing, singing, drawing and/or dancing. Don't be afraid to cry sometimes. I always feel better after a crying spell.
Talk. If PMS is really being a b*tch, talk to a good ol' friend, your BFF, or someone that you know who will always take time to listen to you and help make you feel good about yourself.
Take care***
I know exactly how you feel. You may want to talk to your doctor about getting on birth control to help regulate your hormones. Also it may go away by itself, mine has definitely improved.
Try midol or something too. And try to exercise before and during your period, exercise releases endorphines so that may help counteract your hormones
Don't worry! Try this (daily):
1. Pretty yourself up. Put on makeup if you like (It's OK to obsess over details this time) and wear your favorite outfit.
2. Walk somehwere, anywhere. Rent a movie, grab some new nail polish, whatever, just get some exercize.
3. eat a healthy meal. Lots of nutritious veggies and red meat and grains and milk.
4. Take something for cramps
5. Take a long, hot, bath and sip some herbal tea.
6. Lay on the couch and watch a movie. Eat chocolate.
Goo luck! Remember, you have your period but you are no less beautiful or smart!
Nope nothing you can do
