Do y’all feel super irritated and moody before your period starts? I swear I never used to feel this way but ever since I had kids it makes me feel this way.

Yes. It sounds like PMDD.
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder
Yes! Every single month the week before my cycle! I feel like mine started in my early to mid 30’s!
Yes! My husband usually points it out to me 3-4 days before I start, mostly lovingly unless I am just “off the rails” angry and he’s usually 100% correct.
Before after and during so I pretty much have like only 6 days a month where I feel normal:rofl:
Yep. Currently dealing with the pre period anger and it started after my 4th. It takes a lot for me to reel it in and not take it out on everyone 
Yes! A whole week before I’m either in a rage or I’m crying

Yup I’m a hot mess the whole week before the week of and even the week after. And it gets worse with age lol my anxiety increases, I’m irritable, moody. Can’t sleep. So much fun
2 weeks before my period I notice a “shift” in my personality. I go from “come give mama some love” to “please don’t touch me, I need some space right now”. It’s been happening since I gave birth. Glad I started my period at 330 this morning so I can go back to hugs and snuggles without clenching my jaw. Its so lovely being a woman 
YES! I literally have 2 weeks at best out of the month, I hate it.
Yes, I get on my own nerves!! Lol
Wait until Peri Menopause and then eventually Menopause kick in …its hilarious

Yup! I used to always brag that i didn’t experience pms or anything like that, than a couple years ago a day or two before ny period comes i start getting sooooo irritable. I get annoyed, frustrated, ect… so much easily than ever. It normally takes alot to make me feel that way on a normal day but before ny period it’s like I’m walking around with a knot in my stomach
Yep! I’m severely irritated 3-4 days beforehand! Mine is supposed to start Sunday and I’m on the verge of life in prison most of the day

I get super irritated and grumpy
I get really grumpy a week before I start. My 8 yr old son asked me last time if I was on my " monthly mean momma week" lmao he’s a smart kid ! Come at me if you want, but I taught my son about periods that way when he gets older he’s not grossed out by it when his future girlfriends are on theirs.

Yup. It’s horrible not just for me but my family too. I feel bad for them. Heck I don’t even want to be around myself before my period starts . Plus I get the “period flu” so on top of the irritation and agitation I feel miserable almost like getting hit by a train head on.
There’s a reason for the old saying “she’s PMSing”…
That’s a very common occurrence.
Oh yes and having kids can change up how your cycles are. Getting older can also change it.
Definitely normal for pms.
All the crazy symptoms are actually not normal. Usually there is an underlying issue. Hormone imbalance etc
Yes I put myself in timeout. It’s a very common symptom.

I used to be, but now for like the past 6 months I get moody AFTER my period, like everything just irritates me
so how do we fix this???
Have your Thyroid checked. I had mine checked and after 3 kids I ended up with Hashimotos which can cause irritability.
Every. Damn. Month. At first I didn’t pay much attention to it. Then I realized that it’s always right before my period that I’m ready to 
people in the throat. 
Literally I’d create a 350k bon fire every month over and over if the police and fire investigators would not arrest me because of pre-PMS. And then the day it starts, I’m like “oooooooo that explains so much” and I’m happy as can be.
I was having a horrible time before my period…moodiness, depression, and the “period flu” symptoms. It was so hard for me to function that I finally talked to my doc. She started me on a low dose of PMDD medicine but I have since stopped that and she has given me low dose of Celexa (only because the pmdd med was so hard to get at the pharmacy). The Celexa is life changing. I still get moody at times but nothing that makes me not able to function.
A couple of days before yes and I want big girl drinks chocolate and red meat and chips
I actually had endometriosis after having my kids… then I had a surgery to clean it out… now I’m having another kid… they change us in so many ways!
Probably just about everyone woman . 
…
Every time and while on it the entire time 
That ain’t the period sis… that’s them kids lmao
