or at least in my dreams.

have you ever had a dream so real that you had to call people or do a search to find out if it was a dream or not?

well, this happened to me.

Each one had a different type of Chihuahua. Cute. Anyway, we decided to get one so. Then I woke up.

Maybe it's time to get a Chihuahua

Then there are dreams I really wish were true and I am disappointed when I wake up because I realize the friendships I formed or the experiences I had were not real.

Yeah, I've had those dreams too. Sometimes they make me depressed for a few hours after waking. I think it's interesting that dreams can really work on the emotions of a person.

nope, never had a dream like that.

That's a shame...you're missing out on a bit of fun.

I am so sorry for your loss. When I was reading this thread I couldn't hold back the tears for what you and your family is going through. As a mom I can't even imagine what you all are going through. I will keep all of you in my thoughts.

Sometimes I have memories of things and I can't tell if it was real or a dream.

I know what you mean...I normally don't read fiction books because I don't want my "information" coming from a false memory.

Have you ever had a dream so real that you had to call people or do a search to find out if it was a dream or not? Well, this happened to me. Last night I dreamt of it being all over the news and mainly on the net news. It was on CNN, CBS...and such. The creatures were about 3-4 feet and was green. In my dream they were able to communicate well enough. The news said that they were bringing information for our planet to save it. They were very advanced in technology and knew how to change things to help with the pollution, extinction and other problems that is killing our earth.

I haven't had dreams like this (seeming so real) that it was kinda cool. It's nice to wake up and try to decipher whether it was a dream or not. It was so real I had to search on CNN to make sure it was a dream or not.

I so hope I have another dream as real as this one was.

To what extent has pms/pmdd affected you and relationships?

by FreedomFrog in

i'm doing a research on pms/pmdd and what it does to relationships such as friends/spouses/children.. pms affects about 85% of women....mild to severe.

pmdd affects about 3-8% of women...severe to intolerable.. .

Now along with all your research, have you come across a suitable treatment that may help?

Not at the moment...but just to know what's happening and seeing all the charts and such is a relief. When I start feeling the way I do (if I can remember) I check my timing and 99% of the time it's 3-5 days til the physical cycle starts. The trick is trying to remember these timings so I can lock myself up or get a hold on it until it passes.

I tend to only go through about 3 days of anger or extreme sadness...then everything is back to normal and calm. It's like riding a huge wave...if you're prepared for it chances are you will manage to escape or lessen the damages. If it sneaks up on you (because of forgetting), that's when the most damages will happen.

I've been to the Dr's many times with this and they push it off as depression. My family Dr said that it sounded like PMS and this was before I was connecting the anger spells being so close to the same moments. I think it's interesting that I'm only "depressed" 3-5 days out of a month and hitting almost exactly the same time.

The purpose for this post isn't to get sympathy. I'm really interested in collecting my data from others and how they react to it..to what extent does the symptoms get them...who it affects in their lives (whether it children, spouses, friends)...for how many days does it last...and to what degree it affects others around them. I think after doing this research I may try to organize some sort of help book if I can come up with some help for me. I'm sure there are others that are going through this as well and have no idea how to handle it. Some may even not know they are going through a pattern of anger.

I was going to start a topic asking the ladies what they experienced.

I would describe my cramps like this: It feels as if my uterus is at on end seared to my lower vertebrae, and at the same time it feels as if many-ended hooks are embedded and pulling it to the other side. It sucks and feels like hell. I'm also much more sensitive to nicotine/caffeine during my cycle.

If you look at the list again, I have every symptom (no exagerating here, I swear). Half of them is severe while the other half is close to severe. Just about everyone of them goes away once I start into the physical part of the cycle.

I've had 2 surgeries because the pain became so intense that it would make me double over. They found out that it was caused by Endometriosis. After having my having my kids, the pain has lessen. I still have pain on my right side that shoots down my leg every other month so I know this and I take motrin before the pain sets in.

I can deal with the pain. The most problems I have with the cycle is I become very anger or very emotional for no reason. It comes as if it slaps me in the face. A lot of times, I've locked myself in the house (sometimes even in the bedroom) just to avoid people. For years I've tried to blame it on situations such as being brought up, family life, religion...but lately I've seen a pattern since I've been doing the research and keeping a journal/charts of what is happening. Just about everyone that meets me say I'm this sweetest person but also many will ask me why I push people away. Well, this is why.

It's almost as if a wild bull is released in side of me tearing up my emotions. Anything and everything becomes intolerable. The anger lasts for 3-5 days then when I physically start the cycle, I am back to being my "sweet" 'ol self again. Except I then start to feel guilty for being so b****y and wonder why I'm so anger.

Part of me is relieved that I'm starting to figure out why the anger bursts but part of me is frustrated because it's very difficult to tame the wild beast inside. I have many times had the opportunity to date wonderful guys but I have found myself in panic because I know what I go through each month and know that it would only destroy another relationship.

My mission is to do all the research I can do while studying in the health care and I hope to find a way to mask these symptoms. I've taken vitamin B's, supplements, zoloft and other stuff to relieve some of the symptoms but they are not working and I need to find out what would work.

I honestly thought you meant that the use of personal messages could be used to solidify friendships here on JWD. That, they truly do.

lmao. That's too funny. I guess I should have capitalized the "PMS" in my subject line.
