Yes I get so cranky! My poor partner cops it every month and I feel so bad about it. I just get so angry for no reason and then I want to cry! I just wish I could go into hibernation for a week until it's all over.
I don't really have any tips except to just ride it out and take some deep breaths when you feel like you're about to start yelling over something silly. Go for a walk, meditate. No idea really lol!
I used to see a Naturopath and she would give me natural supplements to help balance out my hormones and I found that they helped. Or try a health food shop I'd say they have similar products.
Other than that maybe just wear a sign that says stay the f**k out of me way unless you want your head bitten off for no reason

Yep! About 3 days before my period starts I turn into a cranky psycho woman! I keep a period tracker app on my phone to keep track of my cycle and it's really accurate in predicting when my period will begin. If I find myself starting to lose my temper I'll check the app and know that it's just 'that time', then once I know I haven't completely lost it I mentally control my mood swings. I just use general calming techniques. If the kids start to rile me up I'll walk away and take a few deep breaths and approach the situation calmly.
