In Today's Episode of "Why are you angry and crying at the same time"...
Today I'm waiting for my period to start (it's 2 days late, not abnormal but still annoying) and as such, I am getting 2 extra days of PMDD. I am trying to be productive, so I decided to make yogurt. I have been working on perfecting the texture of my greek yogurt and today it was finally at the consistency I wanted! I was SO excited about it I started crying a bit, and turned to show my husband how awesome it was by lifting a glop of it on the spoon and saying "check this out!!!" His response was "yeugggggg", and then I was SO MAD! I know he was just joking around, but I felt so defeated and mocked. I snapped at him and said "how can you say that?! How could you mock the yogurt I have been working so hard to make!!" when it's seriously one of the easier homemade items to do, and he answered with "why are you angry and crying at the same time?!"
Then I saw his face change as the lightbulb went on, and he just rushed over to hug me, said "that is the best looking yogurt I have ever seen. You're a genius" and petted my hair while I sobbed all over his jacket. God I love him....I don't know how he puts up with me sometimes.

Aw, that's so awesome to hear, that he recognised your situation and did his best to help! Make sure to let him know how much you appreciate that. :)
Do you have some kind of chart he can look at to help him know when PMDD time is on its way? It might be a gentle way of helping him remember the times you need extra support!
Thank you! He is amazing and I tell him all the time. He downloaded a period tracker app for his own phone so he knows what is up. He usually reminds me the night before rage day. Today he was thrown off because I was 2 days late and should have been less emotional, but I hadn't mentioned i was late.
Aw awesome, sounds like you guys have it all figured out! :)
