Hey, this past weekend I have felt almost "detached" or "less interested" in my boyfriend. I know I still love him, but I have this sick feeling making me second guess myself. I've noticed this ONLY came up randomly after my period had started, and it hasn't only been him I've felt this way about. I'm at my friends house now with a couple of my friends and things seem off with them as well to me. I'm not happy, but I'm not depressed or anything. I was excited to see both my boyfriend and friends today, but again I feel like things are off or different. I'm also feeling the need to cry from it, and I'm anxious :( I feel like crap because I love these people, but I'm just wondering if any other girls have felt this way before during their period, since this "emotional-detachment" for lack of a better term is making me feel horrible... I do feel like it's gotten a bit better since the end of the weekend and the ending of my period (should end in a day or two) do you guys think this is period related? And if not, do you think it's normal to feel detached from loves ones randomly? Thanks :) OH one more thing, I know pms is PREmenstrual, but can you be emotional and bitchy during too? Is that normal?

    Thanks guys, it really had me creeped out. Since my period has began to end I've noticed I've been happier and my feelings for my boyfriend are better :). I deff feel it was due to my period. I'm just glad I'm not the only one lmao.

    I'm not a woman so I don't understand what women go through. However, my sister (who suffers badly once a month) once told me that, at that time, she could happily stab me in the neck and feel no remorse whatsoever (until later). She's not a bad person and she doesn't hate me. It just echoes what CountryRoads says. Our perception of a situation is driven by many things.

    It amazing what hormones control and how they can alter everything, from your body to your moods.

    I'd say it's normal. I think it's normal to feel that way whether you have your period or not. I mean, speaking for myself, somedays I feel a little under the weather where as other days Im very talkative, and appear to be more attached to the people around me. And I do believe you can get bitchy during your period. I know I have. And honestly, I think a lot of girls would when they feel groggy with cramps the whole day. It can be very uncomfortable, so you might not mean to, but you take it out on the ones around you. I wouldnt worry too much about it. If it gets to that point where people start to catch on, and ask what your problem is, I would just tell them straight out, the truth.

    It is normal, when I'm on my period, I'm grouchy and where I would love to be hugged and kissed, it just irritates me.

    I'm so reassured by this. Thank you. I have been feeling the exact same way towards my boyfriend. I normally adore him but lately in pms mode every time he kisses me or hugs me I feel like "get away from me" I hate it!! I'd feel the same towards anyone in my life right now it's just that I live with him so he's the only one who I'm around. I try my best not to make him feel like shit because I know it's my hormones and nothing he did. I just want my period to start so I can get past this feeling!! Just remember ladies, this is something you're feeling, not something you are. I feel guilty for it but we can't control it. Just have to ride It out. So much fun :P

    If you're not already on the pill, you might want to try it. It helps straighten out the hormones that make you crazy. otherwise, stock up on chocolate and avoid human contact for a week.

      Yeah I'm already on the pill, it DEFFINALTELY has helped overall with those crazy moods, I guess this was just one of those times you know? I started my new pack last night, and I can already feel a difference from the one pill after the 7 day break off of them. God, being a woman sure can suck the big one sometimes, eh? :P
