Many women live in dread of recurring PMS symptoms that can disrupt their lives and relationships. Especially mood-related symptoms such as anger outbursts, hysteric crying or depression, which can be rather unpredictable, occurring without a moment's notice. Because of the unpredictability of PMS, many women feel that they are the victims of an uncontrollable force, and virtually helpless in gaining back control of their lives and relationships. Fortunately, this need not be the case. In most cases of mild or moderate PMS, it is quite possible for women to manage their symptoms and moods effectively, without any severe disruption to their lives.
The first step toward healing is awareness and acceptance. It requires women to see PMS for what it is a combination of physiological, psychological and behavioral patterns that occur due to the hormonal fluctuations of their bodies, not a weakness or defect in their character. It requires women to get in touch with their symptoms know when and what to expect. It also requires women to accept the fact that they may not be able to control PMS at all times, and that is okay.
The second step is for women to recognize that they have power over PMS, not the other way around. They need to take PMS into their own hands, and develop a self-management plan, which usually entails making certain mindset and lifestyle changes. Diet, exercise, rest, and effective stress management are all proven methods to reduce and alleviate PMS symptoms.
