A little cranky today. Pre-period hormones. It doesn't happen every month, but a couple times a year I do notice that the couple of days before I'm due I'm more sensitive than others - more easily set off (either towards anger or tears). It's manageable via use of reason and self-control, but I do hate feeling subject to chemicals. Now granted, I realize that I always am, but it's so overt around period time. I can control the reactions I have, but the emotions are something I feel subject to, and it's a bit infuriating. I like to think that I can always think myself out of certain emotions, or mold emotions to follow rational beliefs. Not so every few days a year. Argh, I say, ARGH!
