Are you more likely to be on the downward slope of the roller coaster when you are near or in the feminine dowtime???

LOL.
yes I was trying to use a euphanisim, but I guess it wasnt understood.
I want to know if the BW's feel that they are more likely to be on the down ward slide of emotions regarding their WH when they are close to menstrating.
I ask because not to be too graphic, i have been having a hard time with some thoughts that normally I can shake off and i wondered if it was because of the hormonal upheaval, that is all.

Ah yes, good ole Aunt Flo... She doesn't visit nearly as regular as she used to. stickout But yeah, when she was about to come round, I'd be pretty much on the downward side of anything.

lol Pep.

Lil, I know you asked this of BW's but it might help the BH's here to know that during that time was the time I was most tempted to break contact when I was first in withdrawal.

And the answer to your question I would say is definitely a yes.

Thanx for that jen, i am sure it will be of interest to lurkers.

I asked this question because I am close to the 'downtime' and i have really struggled the last 2 days with resentment for a couple fo different things. One is a new one but the other is something i thought I had given away some time ago, so i was a bit surprise.
You know Flick can just melt me with what he says, and the beautiful txt he sends me, yet I still cried myself to sleep last night, had that bloody nightmare AGAIN, and just have to push myself to not withdrawl from him.
Its very hard.
Knowing that downtime can make me grumpy, i just wondered if it could affect the rollercoster thoughts.
anyway thanx for the responses, it would seem it does have an effect

Yes I think it is helpful if you can realize the connection if there is one. Good for you for being so self-aware!

Hmm... I wonder if there's a connection between, um, the times when Aunt Flo still visits or almost visits, and the times when I come onto MB talking about how horrible my H is and how he never talks and how I haven't learned anything... and then y'all have to talk to me as if I'm a newbie, and remind me of the Basic Concepts all over again...

ooooohhhh I so love watching these little blue guys arguing...
grumble rant2

I'd put them in all my posts, if folks wouldn't think I was just being mad all the time! rotflmao
