This month my period made me go uber dysphoric again.  It turned up by surprise, I never expect it and bam. Made me act like a total ->-bleeped-<- in class critiques, explode in rage and nearly smash windows.  I ended up punching myself in the face, still hurts. I just don't feel like myself at all.  It's like I'm floating slightly away from everything while some hysterical girl takes over my body.  It doesn't help that I seem to radiate woman vibes at this time, I have been she'd and maamed constantly.  I've even noticed my flatmate slipping back into shes when he'd basically started exclusively calling me he. I'd been passing heaps and it just stopped. I guess it makes sense because I'm probably sending out copious amounts of female hormones.

And I'm so embarrassed, before it started I had a big go at my flatmate about how he hardly likes any food.  It was complusive and I couldn't stop, like someone's mum had taken over my body. I want to act like myself again.  This scares me. 

I don't know how to help, but you're not alone. I get so emotional during that time of the month. I don't get angry like you do, but I get really down and I cry a lot more than usual and start fights with my bf for no reason. It really sucks, but the only thing I've found to do is tell people you're close to when it's that time of the month, so they know things might be a bit off. Other than that, just try to breathe and take a step back when you start to feel really angry or upset. I wish there was some way to be more stable at that time of the month, but I haven't found anything that works yet. Hopefully someone else will come along with better advice than I gave you.

I tend to stay away from people and only act minimally during that time of the month.  I also would eat a bunch of chocolate or drink a lot of soda or eat something not very healthy so I don't recommend that....Just relaxing and keeping to yourself for the most part is what I'd recommend.
But (thank god) because of Implanon, I haven't had an actual period in months and the spotting is almost non-existent!  I'm not running around grumbling about people or wanting to snap at people or wanting to cry and mope about my body (well, not as much--I still mope about my body sometimes).

Yeah, I get angry but I cry too. Bla, it's so sucky. I spent the whole weekend going out and drinking which probably doesn't help and I saw the guy who abused me last night.  I didn't let it get to me at the time, he's pathetic, but now I feel weird.

I think I need some hard out down time.  I feel like an evil alien right now.     Last week I felt so awesome and every morning I'd look in the mirror and go "damn, you fine" now I have all these self hate feelings.

I have a similar feeling during "that time" - no matter how self-confident I will have become, it all gets shot down every month.

I don't get angry or over emotional at that time of the month (I never have, thankfully). It's just that "oh god, not again" feeling that reminds me without fail that my body is female. I hate it.

I also hate that time of month. I go into uber bitch mode. I hate life and everyone in it haha. It's such an amazing relief when it's over.

Yeah, same here.  I have it right now and it makes me feel really hopeless, I feel that I will never get away from being female.  It just seems more like a curse I was born with rather than an unfortunate circumstance at this time.  I am looking forward very much to not having to feel like this anymore.

Actually, it's a time of abnormally low female hormones.

I know what you mean about the aggression though, I usually keep myself pretty well in check but sometimes it gets to me and I lose some of my control. I'm afraid I'll do something serious someday.

It's such a depressing, frustrating time. It makes me indignant. I just get so depressed and angry sometimes. Someday, right? It will be over.
