I’m edgy, cranky, and I get extreme mood swings. It’s almost like being hormonal. My boyfriend doesn’t understand how I feel and instead, he just teases me when I’m already wigging out.Can you tell me whether what I’m experiencing is real and how to get my boyfriend to understand how I’m feeling. He makes me so angry I’m afraid I’ll do something terrible!Signed – Wigout Girl Reply to this Question

 I, too, have days like that, but I don't get them all the time. I agree with rhythmandblues2...you should get a check-up with your doctor tas to why you are feeling edgy and cranky. Then you will have piece of mind, and it won't be bothering you as much! That is what I would do!

 It's totally natural to be cranky and grumpy and all those other negative things for a few days before and during your period but if you're getting these feelings all time time then it might be worth speaking to someone. If you're pretty sure it's connected to hormones then relax, there's loads of stuff you can do. I have to admit I'm not sure of the exact details but I'm sure you could get more info from the internet/family doctor about certain foods that trigger mood swings, and how eating several smaller portions of food rather than three big meals can help. As for explaining to your boyfriend take a deep breath and apologise. Tell him you're worried you have a problem but that you're going to try some things to solve it and you hope he can be patient with you while you're doing so.
