Hormones--you have no idea!

Unless you are plagued with hormonal swings, you can not fathom what I'm about to talk about.  Approximately two to four days per month, I am absolutely unbearable to live with--ask my husband.  I can swing from extremely angry, to totally irrational to a crying baby.  God bless him for being so patient with me.  I'm not a doctor but I think one of the primary ways to deal with hormonal fluctations is to take hormones which I can not do.  When I was pondering my latest mood swing, it made me think of teenagers--they are a ball of raging hormones--no wonder we don't understand them.  No wonder they don't make rational decisions.  It's hard to think back that far because I'm older and I have memory issues but I'm sure most of my teenage "blonde" moments were due to hormones.   I do remember some screaming fits and storming out of the house.  Now when I have my "mood swings" , I want to curl up in my room with a heating pad, hot tea, darkness and silence until I can react in a rational manner.  And  to think, we send teenagers out in the real world all the time.  I know they do some crazy and seemingly stupid stuff but to some degree, they can't help it and sometimes they just have to learn from their mistakes.    This isn't an excuse but believe me, if you haven't been through it--you have no idea.  If my husband decides to start a blog--I'm in big trouble.
